Lonely Planet review

Right across from Songshan railway station, the Ciyou Temple is dedicated to the goddess Matsu and is one of the oldest in the city. But Ciyou temple has another thing going for it besides age; noise. Specifically, on the day of Matsu's birthday, when the temple is said to hold the loudest, most colourful birthday celebrations in Taiwan, resplendent with gongs, music and firecrackers.

If you see us at Ciyou temple during the festival, don't bother yelling. We might see you at Ciyou, but we won't be able to hear you or anything else for the rest of the day, for that matter.
