During the Chinese Lunar New Year the Taiwanese people visit the historical Bangka Longshan Temple in the capital Taipei. Worshippers visit the temple praying to gods and ancestors to ward off anything untoward lurking in the year ahead. The article presents the point of view of several worshippers during the 2023 Chinese Lunar New Year. From the busyness of the Longshan Temple’s shrine to Yue Lao, the god of love, to explain the concept of the ritual 'tai sui', the article became a concise modern anthropological guide to the Bangka Longshan Temple.

“I am told there are people who do not care for maps, and I find it hard to believe.”
