My last Taiwan post! :) We went to Yuanheng Buddhist Temple which is located up in the mountains (and just a few bus stops away from the city zoo!), giving visitors a magnificent view of the city as the temple meets both the sunrise and the sunset. It was originally built in 1743, but was rebuilt and relocated several times before being moved to its present location. It has living quarters for the many monks who reside there and visitors are free to enter the main hall to sit and pray. It was very calming to sit inside and marvel at the three Buddha statues while observing a few locals offering their prayers.
Spacious main hall with cushions for people to sit on as they pray.
And lots of fans for those hot days.
Living quarters for the monks :)
Thank you so much for reading and I hope you all have a wonderful week! :)
