Fo Guang Shan temple, Kaohsiung
And the 1000 Buddhas attending give visitors pause for
thought.
High spirits
Whether you seek quiet contemplation in a gilded temple or
find nirvana at the opera, discovering Taiwan’s rich culture is
a transcendent experience. Thousands of years of unbroken
tradition meet modern innovation in the famous puppet
theatres that draw droves of locals and visitors alike, and its
diverse history of inhabitation merges with aboriginal ritual
to create a cultural mix unlike anything else in the world.
Make time to meditate on Taiwan’s vibrant culture.
