Le-Shan Pottery Workshop - the best traditional pottery culture in Taiwan, Taipei
The teacher uses firewood for the kiln process of making pottery, which must be made in the mountains, so he said jokingly, “I often have to retreat to the mountains to cultivate my mind.” He makes every piece by himself and keeps close tabs on the complicated and delicate firewood burning process. If you wish to possess your own unique porcelain, Mr. li is the man you’re looking for.
Home of Artistic Carving - the best traditional carving culture in Taiwan, Taipei
There is an inconspicuous store beside Qingshui Zushi Temple. As you walk into the store you’ll find that it is filled with wood carving artworks, especially works using lion, elephant, qilin and leopard as the main character, which are favorites of Master Yao-Hui. The background used historical events or auspicious words as the base, and the wood applied was from stout camphor tree and cypress.

The store does not have a price list, but the dishes are affordable so you don’t have to worry about not bringing enough money.
Sanxia Xinglong Temple - the old Queen of Heaven temple in Taiwan, Taipei
When the Japanese Government implemented the “Urban Reform Project” in Taiwan in 1916 (the 5th year of the Taisho Era), Xinglong Temple was only assigned a long and narrow residential house. Due to the limited space, Mazu was settled in the middle hall, and the front hall was used as a store for selling incense and offerings, hence the name “Mazu Store”.
