The 16 best churches in Taoyuan

One of the most special spots which everyone need to visit in Taiwan. it combines beautiful Nature of Taiwan togethet with eclectic not always easy understandable history of Taiwan(previously Formosa) Chiang Kaishek Mausoleum (which is one of his residences before) and big park with lake surrounding it plus historical grimace of Chiangs Cult Statues which were brought here after democratization of Taiwan adds more uniqueness to this worth-visit place. its a-must visit place on all of my taiwan private tours.

One of the oldest church in Taiwan. The outlook is definitely well maintained. There are many tourist coming here to take photos.

St. Christopher Church holds three English mass (9 AM, 10.30 AM and 6 PM) and one Vietnamese mass (4.30 PM) on Sunday with the spacious area for mass attendances. The best option for travel is the bus since the church locates quite far from metro station.

A traditional building with spiritual significance to all! Great church ⛪️ in Sunday morning worship, bring you peace and calm, joy and happiness.😇 WELCOME 🤗 ALWAYS!!!

Taoyuan International Airport: A Breeze of a Welcome! ✈️ ​Arriving at Taoyuan International Airport is truly a smooth and wonderful experience. From the moment you land, everything feels efficient and welcoming. ​A Smooth and Speedy Arrival 💨 Getting through customs was an absolute breeze. The process was fast and organized, with clear signage and friendly staff. It felt like no time at all before I was on my way to baggage claim. The adorable plush dog at the biosecurity checkpoint was a nice, unexpected touch! 🐶 ​Bags in a Flash 🧳 The seamless journey continued right to the luggage carousels. My bag appeared almost instantly, making the entire retrieval process quick and stress-free. There's nothing better than a fast and reliable baggage system after a long flight! ​Beyond the Basics ✨ This airport is more than just efficient; it's a great first impression of Taiwan. I loved seeing the vibrant "Welcome" wall in so many languages and the incredible Lego model of the airport. It shows how much thought and care goes into the details here. It's truly a top-notch airport! 💯

As a British man using this hospital to get my Australian WHV health examination done, I was a little nervous. However, the process was extremely straightforward, the staff were very helpful and a language barrier was not an issue. Only qualm is that I wasn’t shown my chest x-ray results. There can’t have been any glaring issues as my visa was granted, but I was rather curious to see if my 5+ years of smoking and other self destructive behaviour had left any visible impact.

Alhamdullillah, just near MRT and Taipei Grand Mosque The guardian/bilal very friendly and ask me to go up to level 2 for women area. He also provides us jemaah time for Zohor. Halal food also just nearby

Great place for family recreation. With cheap ticket prices. We can see the bridge from the glass to see the view of the waterfall, on the other side there is also a suspension bridge. There is free parking. Public toilets are available. For the disabled a little less facilitated.

A wonderful place for weekend retreat !

Good hotel for family

Yes, I went there..

(Translated by Google) In 1947, James Sun, an American pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, and his wife, Lilian Sun, came to the Jiaoban Mountain area in Taoyuan to preach to the local Atayal settlement. The pastor preached in Hokkien, and Atayal believers translated it into the ethnic language. Initially, missions were held in residents' homes. Later, as the number of believers increased, the Presbyterian Church needed a spacious space, so the relatively flat Shaiguchang was chosen as the place to build the church. On December 15, 1963, the Jiguopa Old Church, formerly known as the Sanmin Presbyterian Church, was officially built at the faith center of the local TUBA tribe. At the beginning of the construction of the church, it was proposed and promoted by James Sun and designed by Pastor Huang Rongquan. The church was designed with the concept of "key to the kingdom of heaven" and gathered the power of the Fa'a tribe believers. Considering that the aboriginal people traditionally use bamboo and wood as building materials, but the wooden building structures often face corrosion and need to be repaired, the church switched to stone as the building material, especially from the Bat Cave Riverbank area a few kilometers away from the church. The stone was cut and then cut and built by hand by stone cutters hired from Beitou District to shape the current general appearance. A warehouse was later built on the back side of the building. As the number of believers in the Dufaa tribe increased, the church space gradually became insufficient. The tribesmen built a new church nearby, and the old church and the surrounding land were immediately sold off. Later, the Taoyuan County Cultural Bureau discovered that it had cultural preservation value, and with the consent of the landowner named Wang, it was renovated and transformed into the center of local Atayal culture. It was agreed that the business model would not change within nine years. In 2000, the Jiguo Pai Old Church was selected as one of the Ten Historic Buildings in Taoyuan City and ranked 61st on the Top 100 Historic Buildings in Taiwan. From 2004 to 2010, the old Christian church was revitalized as a local cultural center and used as a communication venue, church and tribal special celebration space through the local cultural center advisory group plan. In recent years, due to the fact that the church is privately owned, the surrounding environment of the church has been vandalized, resulting in landowners repeatedly erecting green iron panels to block the entry and exit of tribesmen and tourists. Starting in 2021, churches will begin to reopen briefly during special events. (Original) 1947年，台灣基督長老教會美籍牧師孫雅各與夫人孫理蓮來到桃園角板山地向當地泰雅族聚落宣教，該牧師以閩南語傳講，泰雅族信徒再翻譯成族語轉化。最初宣教於居民家中舉行，後因信徒人數日漸增多後，基於長老教會需要寬敞的空間需求，於是選擇地勢較為平緩的曬穀場作為興建教堂的場所。 1963年12月15日，基國派老教堂之前身三民長老教會教堂，於當地讀法阿（TUBA）部落的信仰中心正式興建。教堂建造之初由孫雅各提議推動，黃榮泉傳道設計；以「通往天國之鑰匙」的概念設計教堂，並集讀法阿部落信徒之力。考慮到原住民族傳統上使用竹子與木材作為建材，然而木材建築結構經常面對腐蝕、需要修補的問題，教堂便改以石頭作為建築材料，並特別從離教堂數公里處的蝙蝠洞河岸一帶鑿取石材，再由自北投區聘來的打石師父手鑿切割砌成，形塑現今的大致樣貌。建築後側在後續曾增建一間倉庫使用。 讀法阿部落內因信眾越來越多，教堂空間漸感不足，族人於附近另建新堂，老教堂與周遭土地旋即被變賣。後桃園縣文化局發覺其具文化保存價值，經王姓地主同意後進行重修，使其轉變為當地泰雅文化的中心，並同意九年之內經營方式不變。 2000年，基國派老教堂曾獲選為桃園市歷史建築十景之一、以及臺灣歷史建築百景的第61名。2004年至2010年期間，基國派老教堂曾再度活化作為地方文化館，並透過地方文化館輔導團計畫作為交流場所、教會及部落特殊慶典空間使用。 近年，鑑於教堂為私人所有因素，教堂周邊環境遭到人為破壞，導致地主屢搭起綠色鐵板阻斷使族人、遊客進出。2021年起，教堂開始在特殊活動期間短暫回歸重新開放。
