Ba Gua Buddha


ba gua buddha

If we're gonna be The Ba Gua of Blogs, we may as well have the Buddha watching over us.

For those of you who don't know, Ba Gua Shan is the prettiest little park area in Changhua City and atop it sits this Buddha. On a clear day, though they are rare, you can see past Lugang and out into the Taiwan Strait. If you're so inclined, you can even climb up inside and get the Buddha's eye view of the surroundings. The sunsets look great even through the pollution and this was the first place I've ever seen ostrich eggs for sale.

If you're in the Changhua area head out to THE CROSSROADS for tasty betel nut and cheap brews. It's Taiwanese country livin' all the way. For directions, talk to the J-Hole. We've been meaning to get back out there to see A-He and his brother A-Ha.

Has the crossroads developed McDonald's or 7-11 since our last tip toe thru the betel bushes?

It's been since '02 since I last visited J out there. I'm gonna guess no on both counts though...
