Views of the National Museum in Taipei. All the treasures of China are here. It is said by sheer man power, the treasures were moved from Forbidden city all around China and to Taiwan, without breaking a single vase.
There is so much treasure here that most of them are locked inside the vault inside the mountain seen behind the museum. It's said that to see all the treasures, one has to go to the museum every day for four yars...or some ridiculous amount of time like that.

Buddhist temples are often seen in the city.
The temples contain tribute to Buddha as well as other gods. They are ver different from the Buddhism seen in Japan or Korea. Their temples are very elaborate with decorations on the rooftops and they believe in other gods besides Buddha.
