There are plenty of temples scattered throughout Taiwan, but not all of them may be considered interesting or captivating. However, I'd like to introduce two temples in Yunlin that I found beautiful.
Cih Guang Temple (劍湖山慈光寺)
Cih Guang Temple is a Japanese-style temple located in the mountains of Gukeng. In the vicinity, you can also find coffee shops where you can enjoy the beautiful mountain view. The architectural style of this temple differs from the ones I have typically visited. It may not be as colorful, but the presence of the lake and elephant statues guarding the entrance creates a serene and picturesque atmosphere.
While there isn't much information available about this temple, and it may be perceived as just one among the many temples in Taiwan, I still found it to be a peaceful and beautiful place. Perhaps over time, the excitement of visiting temples might fade, similar to how one might not feel inclined to visit numerous churches if they have already seen plenty in the past.
Chifa Matsu Temple (持法媽祖宮)
Chifa Matsu Temple in Huwei is a temple that I find exceptionally beautiful. This is my second visit, as I greatly admire this place. Although I don't possess much knowledge about Buddhism, I appreciate the unique architectural designs of the buildings within the temple.
Surrounding the temple, you can observe various plants, a small fish pond, and stunning water lilies. The plants found in the temple grounds are quite expensive and plentiful.
Additionally, the temple is encompassed by rice fields, which was a novel sight for me. While I felt excited to see the rice fields, my husband found my enthusiasm a bit peculiar, as he perceives rice as a common plant among many others.
During our visit, there was another part of the temple being constructed on the opposite side of the road, although it remained unfinished at the time.
