As for historical sites and temples, the most popular are Chunglieh Temple, Lung-shan Temple, and the Confucius Temple. The Martyrs 'Shrine and the Confucius Temple, both 20th-century structures, are well worth a visit. And the Lungshan Temple, built 150 years ago, is a masterpiece of late-period Taiwanese architecture.
以清宮殿為摹本、建於民國五十八年的忠烈祠，和民國廿八年、由泉州名匠王益順完成的台北孔廟，固有可觀；而有一百五十年歷史（主殿曾在民國四十四年重建）的艋舺龍山寺，也是台灣廟宇建築的後期高峰之作。
