Went to Tian Xuan Gong. Beautiful thing about this temple is that they have life-size statues of all 500 Arhats! Pretty impressive. But because it is still a taoist temple, the lunch was topped with lots of hard liquor. They have a saying, with no wine, there is no sincerity (無酒無誠意）. So everyone got really drunk. And some came over to the vegetarian table for a break from the drinking – their sanctuary.
At night, we went to 龍山寺. Another beautiful temple with Buddhist-Taoist combination. Then spent the night looking at shops selling statues of various gods, and walking down Hualien street – the street famous for their snake restaurants.
