In the early morning, we also woke up early to visit Taipei Xia Hai City God Temple (台北霞海城隍庙)located in Di Hua Street (迪化街)）. I learned this temple from the tourist brochures that I obtained when I reached Taipei and insisted to step there after discussed with JoJo.
For me, it’s worthwhile to visit the temple and pray to get
boyfriend or future soulmate from the God of called old man under the moon (月下老人). He was the matchmaking god that decide whom you’ll married and tied your feet with
your future partner by using red strings.
