Today I decided to go visit 佛光山 Fo Guang Shan, a Mahayana Buddhist cultural, religious and educational museum located in Dashu District, Kaohsiung. My friend, who is a local used to be one of the volunteers here. The place is very nice, peaceful and is full of friendly people. They even serve cheap vegetarian lunch. As far as I can remember, there are about 4 dining restaurants inside the museum itself.
Besides amazing, Fo Guang Shan is also huge; it took me around 7 hours to walk around every corner of the museum place. FYI, Fo Guang Shan has 3 parts, and we just spent those 7 hours strolling around the MUSEUM area ONLY! This place is home to A LOT of Buddha statues.. After walking so much my legs hurt, but this cultural experience was worth every step~
I learnt a lot about Buddhism and mindfulness. Thank you to my friend for her hospitality 🙏
Told ya, one day is not enough as this place is SO HUGE.
They also provide accommodation for fellow travellers. You can opt in to join their meditation course too.
