Taiwan trip-Day 2


We woke up early on 2nd day, 6.30am to rush for a day trip to Fo Guang Shan temple @Kaohsiung & Qi Jin island. Had a simple Taiwanese breakfast at the hotel before departing to Fo Guang Shan temple.

I still look sleepy, eh?


Fo Guang Shan temple @Kaohsiung


Entering the path to Buddhahood *oommpphhhh*


We need to walk through the meters long Great Path to Buddhahood before reaching the Memorial Hall. 



The world highest sitting Fo Guang Buddha (about 36 floors high) was located behind the Memorial Hall.



Let's go for photo viewing!





The superb wood carving skills(⊙o⊙)



Maitreya Buddha who can talk with face expression!


April's Buddha bathing.

We didn't have time to explore all the places as Memorial Hall as it is really huge.


So, if you are planning to visit the centre, please estimate spending about a half day there if you wish to walk through all the places & having lunch there of course!



Their food was super delicious! Had fried rice, fried spring roll & glutinous rice ball with ginger soup ^_^ 

Next stop will be @Qi Jin Island.


The ferry that will transport us to the island.


Approaching Qijin in less than 20 minutes ride.


The famous Qijin street market  J


Taiwan's rare black sand beach



Back to Qijin street market... Had fun taking a short ride around the town & makan- makan ^_^ 




Fresh seafood on sale! Rice and tea/sky juice – FOC Not inclusive of the egg shaped ice- cream~ 



That's all for now! Next blog will be going to share our experience in Alishan!
