    "description_zh_hant": "台北天后宮，俗稱「西門町媽祖廟」，與艋舺龍山寺和艋舺祖師廟並稱臺灣清領時期艋舺3大寺廟。一步跨入廟門，原本耳邊喧囂的流行音樂與鼎沸人聲瞬間消逝，取而代之的是繚繞的檀香氣息與莊嚴寧靜的氛圍。這座廟宇的特色在於其全台僅見的「台日神佛共祀」。正殿主祀慈悲的天上聖母媽祖，守護著往來的遊子與商家；側殿則供奉著日本真言宗祖師「弘法大師」，使得每年都有來自日本高野山的僧侶專程前來舉辦法會，也吸引無數日本遊客前來朝聖。此外，廟方貼心地在穿堂內設置了一小區休憩桌椅與洗手間，讓在西門町逛街逛累了、或有內急之需的遊客，能在此稍作停歇、整理儀容。不妨在參拜祈福並獲得片刻喘息後，順道探訪成都路周邊店家。",

    "description_en": "Commonly called the Ximending Mazu Temple, it is counted with Mengjia Longshan Temple and Mengjia Zushi Temple as one of the three great temples of Mengjia in the Qing period. Its distinctive feature is that Taiwanese and Japanese deities are worshipped together, the only such case in Taiwan. The main hall is dedicated to Tianshang Shengmu, Mazu, who watches over travellers and merchants. The side hall enshrines Kobo Daishi, founder of Japan's Shingon school, and monks from Mount Koya in Japan come every year to hold a ceremony. The temple also has a small rest area with tables and chairs, and toilets, in the passage hall.",
