For many older and middle-aged people who aren't very comfortable hanging around Taipei's fashionable shopping districts, for laborers, for those who have come from central or southern Taiwan to make some money in the big city, and for drifters with nowhere to go, the area around the Lungshan Temple is rich with opportunities for employment and enjoyment.
對許多逛不慣台北市區時髦高消費新商圈的中老年人、勞工、外地到台北討生活的男女和流浪在外的遊民而言，這一帶充滿了營生休閒的契機。
