The origins of Taipei Confucius Temple can be traced to 1875 when the Qing dynasty established Taipei as a prefecture city for Northern Taiwan. In 1879, construction began in Taipei City, including the literary and martial temples. In 1925 Chen Pei-Ken, Koo Hsien-Jung and others advocated reconstructing the Taipei Confucius Temple atDalongdong, the layout and configuration of which was based on the traditional Confucian temple to project its ritual construction. The main compound along the axial line was planned to be constructed on a magnificent scale, from the south to the north in sequence as Wanren Gongqiang, Pan Pond, Lingxing Gate, Yi Gate, Dacheng Hall, and Chongsheng Shrine. The Minglun Hall is mainly used for studying and artistic activities such as assemblies, lectures, scripture readings and calligraphy.  Add: No.275, Dalong St., Datong District, Taipei City 103 Web: https://english.tct.gov.taipei/Default.aspx Tel: 886-2-2592-3934[][][{"title":"Taipei Confucius Temple.JPG","url":"https://www-ws.gov.taipei/001/Upload/312/relpic/30992/4130163/abc4fceb-de2c-4338-ba53-0df2451d3eb9.jpg"}][]Datong District Office,Taipei City41301640https://english.gov.taipei/News_Content.aspx?n=460F7826293CF0BA&s=4295140177794DFDDalongdong Baoan TempleBaoan Temple was originally funded by four local clans; the Wangs donated the land and the Chens, Changs, Tsais offered their support. These major clans were often associated with the businesses of 44 kans (shops). As for Baoan Temple’s sphere of worship, it covered the following three areas: Township One: Dalongdong, Huwei, Beitou. Township Two: He-shang zhou, Sanchong pu, Xinzhuang. Township Three: Dadaocheng. There were three worshipping activities in a year: Baosheng Emperor’s date of birth (the 15th day of the third lunar month), date of ascension (the 2nd day of the fifth lunar month), and Ghost Festival (the 10th –12th day of the seventh lunar month). It was customary for residents of all three townships to take turns funding the events. To celebrate Baosheng Emperor’s birthday, the Tung-an clans would sponsor folk theater opera performances. These “surname series” ran from the 5th to the 28th of the third lunar month; the Chang clan would take the first show and the Wu clan would take the last. One can tell that Chang clan was the most powerful of all, and an old local saying goes: “Dalongdong’s Changs, Gala’s Yangs.” Web: https://www.baoan.org.tw/?&lang=en Tel: 886-2- 2595-1676[][][{"title":"Dalongdong Baoan Temple.JPG","url":"https://www-ws.gov.taipei/001/Upload/312/relpic/30992/4130164/78f1d703-a562-433b-814e-cd4f818a42f4.jpg"}][]Datong District Office,Taipei City41301650https://english.gov.taipei/News_Content.aspx?n=460F7826293CF0BA&s=7101C7EE420B8E2CXiahai City God Temple<div class="p0" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">The century-old Xiahai City God Temple is dedicated to City God, his wife, the Chinese Cupid, and 600 other deities.

Built in 1921, the former Taipei City Hall building was originally the home of Jan Cheng Elementary School. Opened in the period of Japanese rule, the school had a student body that was predominantly Japanese with only a handful of Taiwanese students. In the post-war era, it was used to house the city government and became an important landmark for local citizens. The two-story brick building is a model of architectural symmetry. Above the central hall is the spacious old assembly with its high ceiling. A bell tower rises from the center of the roof highlighting its distinctive architectural style.

After the government moved to Taiwan in 1949, Academia Sinica was re-established in Taipei. The growth of Academia Sinica during the transition period was initially slow due to political instability and meager budgets.Thanks to the great efforts of the past Presidents, especially former President Yuan-Tseh Lee, Academia Sinica overcame many difficulties to reach its present success. It is now a modern research institution with a worldwide reputation and a proud tradition. Under the leadership of current President Chi-Huey Wong, Academia Sinica is making further progress in improving research conditions and results. Many of the twenty-four research institutes and seven research centers are now headed by world-renowned scholars and staffed by highly trained, motivated, and creative young investigators. Major strides have also been made toward raising the standards of academic research, and Academia Sinica is presently positioning itself to move its research activities to the international level. Aside from placing greater emphasis on opening up new areas of intellectual endeavor, Academia Sinica is also taking a leadership role in launching new initiatives in applied areas to meet a broad spectrum of social needs in Taiwan.In order to fulfill these goals, Academia Sinica has adopted various measures to promote the internal integration of research activities in the three research disciplines of mathematics and physical sciences, life sciences, and humanities and social sciences; to improve the planning, implementation, and evaluation of long-term projects in order to enhance the impact of the research activities; to harness basic research results for applications and technology transfer; to engage the entire academic and research community in Taiwan in a modern and forward-looking collective academic vision; to cultivate an intellectual environment that is conducive to the nurturing of young scholars and the recognition of outstanding scholarship in Taiwan; and to promote international cooperation and scholarly exchanges that will accelerate the overall development of academic research in Academia Sinica and the Republic of China.<img alt="Different facets of Academia Sinica" mmoid="1105693" src="http://www-ws.gov.taipei/001/Upload/public/MMO/ENGNGDO/Academia%20Sinica.jpg" title="Different facets of Academia Sinica" /><a href="https://www.sinica.edu.tw/en" target="_gipNW" title="Acadmia Sinica (open in new window)">Acadmia Sinica</a>[][][][]Nangang District Office, Taipei City41301430https://english.gov.taipei/News_Content.aspx?n=460F7826293CF0BA&s=17FD3BBA838B64A8Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall<img alt="Nangang Exhibition Hall" mmoid="1106766" src="http://www-ws.gov.taipei/001/Upload/public/MMO/ENGNGDO/展覽館.jpg" style="FLOAT: left" title="Nangang Exhibition Hall" />Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall (AKA.
