Man Mo Temple is located next to Sun Moon Lake and built against the mountains. From a high place, you can overlook the clear and peaceful mountains and forests of Sun Moon Lake, the noise of the temple, and make everyone's wishes amidst the smoke.
Because Man Mo Temple is located in Sun Moon Lake, it is more convenient to drive by yourself in terms of transportation. There are parking spaces around but it takes time to find them. If money and time permit, living near Sun Moon Lake and cycling around the lake is a good choice.
Man Mo Temple is mainly dedicated to Confucius and Guan Gong. In Taiwan, entry to temples is free, so I was shocked when I first encountered a temple in Shanghai that required admission. I like visiting temples very much. The Tudigong Temple next door to my house has taken care of all kinds of girlish worries that I have had since childhood. If I dare not tell my parents or teachers, I can tell the gods and he will keep it secret and bless me with peace. Because there is Confucius in the Man Mo Temple, before the exam, the place will be crowded with all kinds of candidates, parents and all kinds of admission tickets, which is also a unique scenery in Taiwan.
I like to walk down from the mountain at the back to the Man Mo Temple, because you can see a different Man Mo Temple and a different Sun Moon Lake from high up. Green hills, green water and fragrant temple, this is the place I miss.
