Wu Chuan 2nd Branch: Trip to Sun Moon Lake

Today I joined the Wu Chuan 2nd Branch's excursion to Sun Moon Lake. We rode in a tour bus from the church. There were 38 of us on a bus with 40 seats. I felt lucky to get on board.

Our first stop was Chang Tai Chen Buddhist Monastery, which has some very impressive architecture and artwork. Here is the happy Budda.

From there we went to Wen Wu Temple on a mountain side over looking Sun Moon Lake. I'm sure that on a clear day the view is beautiful. The pictures I took can't do justice to the view.

Opposite this view is the temple entrance.
From there, the tour bus took us along a winding road, up the mountain to the Tzen En Tower which "was constructed as the late Chiang Kai Check was in memory of his mother".

This is the view from the top of the tower, with Sun Moon Lake in the background.
