My postings on our trip to Taiwan were interrupted so that I could post the pictures from Baby Olive's trip to Okinawa. But now that little Olive and her parents are back home in the United States, I will resume putting up photos of the trip the Valerie, Murphy, and I took to Taiwan over President's Day weekend.
The last set posted showed our trip up into the hills above Taipei on a gondola. On our way down the mountain, we exited early and visited the beautiful Chih Nan Temple and Taisui Shrine. It was almost dark as we were touring these sights, so some of the pictures aren't as good as they could have been if we had arrived earlier in the day.
The Chi Nan Temple complex is Taoist and was constructed beginning in 1882.
It was a very serene stop on our limited tour of Taiwan.
