Catching up - a Saturday drive and walk

On March 21, we took a simple Saturday outing to see the giant Buddha of Baguashan in Changhua, about a 30-40 minute drive from Taichung. It was a very impressive statue in a scenic area on a high spot in the town. Besides the statue, temples, monastery, and park - which we toured and spent most of our time around - there is also a botanical park and an aircraft park on the mountain. Fodder for another Saturday trip.

Here is the Buddha.

From Simple Taiwan Weekend

And here are the pictures from the whole weekend. This also includes a couple pictures leaving Taichung (driving and steel work from a restaurant renovation) and a baker's dozen of pictures from our Sunday walk around town. There was a festival in People's Park with kid's games (hence the giant space shuttle) and a couple doing wedding pictures on a Mini Cooper in the middle of the street.
