Woke up to a good simple breakfast at the 大伯公 Temple – porridge and preserved vegetables. After days of fancy food, a return to simple cuisine really satisfies the stomach.
We set off at 8am and travel up north to 台南 to the 媽祖 temple – the goddess of the sea. It was humungous!
And there was a very adorned Guan Yin Hall with a big thousand hand guan yin statue, flanked by 108 different smaller Guan Yin statues depicting her 108 different transfomations.
Following that, we went to 代天府 which is about 300 over years old and here housed the Lord of a thousand years, and also the temple of the 5 Kings. And guess what, one of the heavenly King's family name is also Choo! I guess that's where my ancestral lineage leads to – Heavenly Royalty! Muahahaz!
We continued our journey up north to 苗栗 where we had dinner with some of the Taoist priest of the 無極 Temple. And because they are cultivators and vegetarians as well, I got the honor to sit with all the high priests. Apart from the delicious home grown vegetables, I also received advise from them on cultivation and also got an invitation to visit again and cultivate together! Cool.
Finally arrived Taipei at 1030pm. Today, we travelled from the South, all the way up to the North along the Western coast of Taiwan. It completes our entire circuit around the entire country.
