Zhinan Temple
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zhinan Temple or Chihnan Temple (traditional Chinese: 指南宮; pinyin: Zhĭnán Gōng; Wade-Giles: Chihnan Kung) is a Taoist temple in Muzha, Taipei, Taiwan. The temple's main deity is Lü Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals. The temple, built in 1890, can be reached by a staircase of 1200 steps.
Since Lü Dongbin's love to Immortal Woman He was unanswered, it is believed that he is jealous of lovers and so couples often do not dare to visit the temple together.
