The Interior Ministry has launched the Taiwan Religious Cultural Map website as the ideal guide for Year of the Horse blessings and travel. The ministry stated that the site integrates rich information from Taiwan's Top 100 Religious Scenes and Cultural Religious Heritage in Taiwan providing diverse, user-friendly routes to ensure success in the coming year.
With Lunar New Year temple visits a key tradition, the website helps users plan personalized itineraries by region, religion, or interests, browsing featured sites and events for a smooth journey. The ministry noted options for traditional faith seekers at ancient temples with unique rituals, architecture lovers at churches blending art and history, and festival enthusiasts at Lunar New Year and Lantern Festivals nationwide. All are accessible via the site.
Religious Affairs Department Deputy Director-General Luo Su-chuan (羅素娟) highlighted international potential. He said, “To market Taiwan’s diverse religious culture worldwide, the ministry will promote Taiwan Temple Stay immersive religious tourism this year, combining temple stays, rituals, cultural tours, and spiritual experiences, enabling locals and international visitors to deeply experience Taiwan’s religious beauty.”
The ministry reminds travelers to respect faiths, practice eco-friendly rituals, minimize noise, and follow venue rules for a sustainable environment.
