...my visit to fo guang shan. indeed, a very huge big place. someone told me at nite it looks like las vegas. the entire place was litted up with large amount of light bulbs and neon lights. indeed it lived up to its name literally translated to english - buddha light mountain. which makes it impossible for someone on a plane to miss it from air. all the names there are sort of like translated from chinese, eg: cloud dwelling building, east chan building, bamboo garden lodge, pilgrimage lodge, etc. i have the privilege in staying in one of their vip room in bamboo garden lodge, exactly like a hotel room, 2 beds a tv and toiletries available. i particularly like the great buddha land, lots of the buddha statues there, with a huge big one overlooking the hill. (fo guang shan is located on top of a hill). at night i would go out to the great buddha land and sit there, sometimes chat with a good fren from korea, won seok aka rain about alot of stuff from life to relationship to studies and dreams. its just an amazing place to be. the peacefulness, the serenity the view overlooking the longest bridge and seeing the beautiful skyline of kaohsiung from afar.

fgs is so huge, that to walk from one building to another is really dem far. coupled with the hot weather in kaohsiung, it is indeed quite painful to walk, especially when it is going uphill. gosh!. fo guang shan; indeed is a superbly nice place to visit in taiwan...
