Wanhua District 萬華區
Taipei's most visited temple stands in its most marginal district. What the city calls its decline, its folk religion calls its consecration. These are not two interpretations of the same story. They are two different stories about the same place — and only one of them is true.
艋舺萬華歷史深度遊：靈力、廢港與台北最古老的靈魂
台北最神聖的地方，座落在最邊緣的行政區。龍山寺旁，無家者與信眾共享同一廣場；剝皮寮的磚縫間，三個政治時代的建材奇異共存。艋舺（萬華）的歷史是一道悖論：這個曾是北台灣首要港口的地方，在商業與政治地位不斷衰退的同時，反而成為台北靈力密度最高的宇宙論節點。本文帶你走進五個台北主流歷史敘述從未深入的故事層次。

Wanhua Taipei History: Walking the Port That Became Sacred
Taipei’s most visited temple stands in its most marginal district. What the city calls its decline, its folk religion calls its consecration. These are not two interpretations of the same story. They are two different stories about the same place — and only one of them is true.

Wanhua Taipéi: historia, templos y geografía del margen
Los dioses, en la tradición popular taiwanesa, no habitan donde habita la prosperidad. Habitan donde habita la necesidad. Eso explica por qué el templo más visitado de Taipéi se encuentra en su barrio más empobrecido — y por qué ese no es un dato triste, sino la clave de todo.

Wanhua Taipei : histoire, temples et mémoire d’un port disparu
Il existe des quartiers que la ville officielle a décidé d’oublier. Wanhua est de ceux-là. Ce qu’elle n’avait pas prévu, c’est que l’oubli, dans certains systèmes de croyance, est la condition même de la sacralisation.

台北・万華（龍山寺）歴史散歩：沈んだ港と霊気の地理学
台北で最も神聖な場所は、最も辺縁的な地区にある。龍山寺の香煙と、隣の公園で眠るホームレスが同じ百メートルの空間に共存する——その逆説の中に、台湾民間信仰の深い宇宙論が潜んでいる。沈んだ港が聖地になるまでの二百年を、紀行文として歩く。
