Description of Our Community: Shilin Cixian Temple, or the bustling Shilin “Temple” Entrance, is designated as a third-grade historic site. Standing out of all the temples existed in Taiwan, Cixian Temple has three stages set up for traditional performances in front of it. With benefits of transportation convenience (along the old river rout of the Keelung River), vendors from all directions brought their produce, fish and others here for business and boosted Shilin “Temple” Entrance into a prosperous place.

Project Description: Shilin Cixian Temple is the historic and religious center for the residents in Shilin. As Jiantan Elementaray School is located in Shilin, we would like to take the opportunity to explore in depth the historic site in our neighborhood by getting to know the backgrounds and listening to old stories about the temple. We expect not only to get a more vivid and comprehensive historic context, but also to help build up our mutual concern for community and raise our sense of identity for our land.
