Longshan Temple was built in 1738 and is one of the oldest temples in Taiwan. You won’t be able to find old temples like this in China, because the Cultural Revolution destroyed many religious establishments.

Another example of Japanese architecture in Taiwan. The ground floor of the theater is a mini museum that displays the history of the building. The Red House Theater used to be a market, but was later converted to a theater.

The square was opened initially as “Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Square,” but the name was eventually changed to “Liberty Square” to honor Taiwan’s transition from a one-party rule to a democracy.

Fort San Domingo (or Hongmao Castle/紅毛城) is the perfect example of Taiwan’s complex history. It was originally constructed as a fort for the Spanish. Then, the Dutch built a new fort on site called Fort Antonio. During the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese government controlled this place. However, the British took over and made it their trade consulate. Taiwan’s government finally retrieved this piece of land from the British in 1980.
