We explore the heart of Old Taipei to learn about the many deities that are worshipped in Taiwan. Whether you practice Confucianism, folk, animist, Buddhist, or the Taoist religion you can find a temple that not only serves as a place of worship, but as a community centre providing day care for children and recreational activities for seniors. We discover that people bring offerings of food and paper money to ask the Gods to help resolve problems. But what happens to those offerings?
