The roof of Longshan Temple's main gate. If you have the Lonely Planet guide, you'll notice that this roof is on the cover.
One of the many deities and spirits that are worshipped at this temple. Syncretism like this is an integral part of Chinese religious practice.
Candles burnt in respect to gods and spirits. As this was a special Buddhist day (some famous Buddhist god's birthday), there were many.
Fresh flowers set out next to a Buddha statue. All the temples I've seen in China use fresh flowers; I have yet to see one that uses fake plastic flowers.
Wing of the National Palace Museum.
