Interesting that Western mainstream media has started covering the Taiwan temple raves.
Is this a sign of globalization of the East Asian and Southeast Asian homegrown rave scenes that have emerged in recent years?

Temples in Taipei serve as community centers where Buddhism, Taoism and local folk religions blend. Hundreds of young people also gather at them for dance parties, which temple managers welcome as a way to bring young people back to Taiwanese traditions.
A Taipei temple, nearly reclaimed by the forest, now draws hundreds of young people looking for a different kind of night out.
