Taroko National Park, Hualien, Taiwan
Daily: 6.00am - 9.00pm
Despite the disappointment over the fact that
Eternal Spring Shrine was under renovation, my BFF and I pressed on to trek to Changuang Temple that's also known as Zen Monastery.
We had to pass through a tunnel across Changchun Bridge that I showed in the previous post.
 |
| There'll always be light at the end of every tunnel, right? |
 |
| The sign made me chuckle. :P |
The slope leading to the temple is quite steep. Since it was drizzling, we walked carefully to prevent ourselves from falling down.
 |
| Look at the colour of the water! <3 |
 |
| There were quite a number of taxis spotted that day. |
Compared to the rest of the places we visited for the day, we saw the most visitors at the temple.
 |
| Such a lovely painting on the wall of the temple~ |
 |
| Do you usually throw a coin or two and make some wishes at a wishing pond or well? |
 |
| What's up there? :P |
We explored the temple level by level from the first floor.
 |
| I think we need to take off our shoes before entering the building, although some people didn't bother. |
 |
| Amethyst is so pretty! |
 |
| I didn't expect to see the reclining Buddha statue at all. |
We saw some monks chanting at the hall of the topmost floor.
 |
| I stood outside of the hall for a while to listen to the soothing chanting. |
 |
| A library-cum-meeting room, I guess? |
There's a side building where you can have some tea and snacks for free.
 |
| Do the seven statues symbolise anything in particular? |
 |
| I didn't drink any though. |
We've almost come to the end of this series of posts on trekking at Taroko National Park. Can anyone guess what's coming up next?
