Kaohsiung｜Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum

Share paragraph It is best to go out for a walk when you are in a bad mood or on vacation. I bought a 399 monthly ticket for Kaohsiung, took the MRT to Zuoying Station, and walked a short distance. On the way, I passed by Family Mart and went in to buy oden and a tea egg (I recommend that you buy food first when you see 7-Eleven or Family Mart, because the food at Fo Guang Shan is really expensive~) When you walk out of the MRT station, you will find the Harvard Express (a bus from Zuoying High Speed ​​Rail Station to Fo Guang Shan). At this time, someone will ask you if you want to share a ride. The price this time was 150 yuan per person. My personal experience is to try to wait for the bus. You can chat with the passengers next to you while waiting, although I took the initiative to chat with two handsome and friendly Germans by asking about their willingness to share a ride. As soon as I got on the bus, I thoroughly practiced the Taiwanese travel culture of "sleep on the bus and pee when you get off the bus" I slept all the way to the gate of the Buddha Memorial Hall. Oops! I forgot to take a panoramic picture, but it doesn’t matter, the basic left and right sides of the gate are still there. Unlike other temples that emphasize "green dragon on the left and white tiger on the right", here it is not about the elephant on the left and the lion on the right. According to the introduction on Fo Guang Shan's Facebook page: Lions and elephants both have symbolic meanings in Buddhism. Elephants are the symbol of nobility in Buddhism. The Buddha was conceived on a white elephant, so elephants are used to commemorate the Buddha's birth on earth. The lion is the king of all beasts and can conquer everything. In many Buddhist scriptures and treatises, the lion is used to illustrate the Buddha's teachings and his fearlessness and greatness. As soon as I walked into the Lijin Hall, the place I most recommend is the Liuli Workshop, where the artworks are truly a combination of money and beauty. The few I shared can better show why art can make the rich crazy Each tower has English and Jingsi aphorisms #Fo Guang Shan Buddha Memorial Hall #100 Ways to Travel Kaohsiung Fo Guang Shan Buddha Memorial Center 🕰️Business hours: 0900-1800 (closed on Tuesdays) 📍Address: No. 1, Tongling Road, Dashu District, Kaohsiung City 840 💞Recommendation reason: Very suitable for relaxing
