Unlike Mainland China, Taiwan's Chinese Characters Are Written In Traditional Chinese, Which Is Easy For Japanese To Understand, But This Can Be A Pitfall

The Sanfong Temple Had Not Only Taoist Deities But Also Buddhist Deities Such As Shakyamuni Buddha And Guanyin Bodhisattva, Making It Look Like A Department Store Of Deities
