| The top of Dong Kang Mountain |
Recently, I have heard that the shortest mountain at in Taiwan, called Dong Kang Mountain. Although it has only eleven meters height, it also has a triangular peak similar to Yu-Shan Mountain. The mountain locates at Bu-Dai, it is at south of Puzi city and near to sea. Getting to the top of Dong Kang Mountain takes less than half a minute. Out of curious, I went to Dong Kang Mountain and stood at the top to experience the charm of the countryside.
Next, I went to National Palace Museum Southern Branch. The museum locates at Tai-Bao city. The city has the headquarter of Chai-Yi county. National Palace Museum Southern Branch has kinds of collections, some of collections are designated as national treasures. I saw a paint which is usually printed on Buddhism books. The paint shows two man, one adult and one kid. It is said that they are Manjushri Bodhisatta and Samantabhadra Bodhisatta they became normal peoples and lived in the world in order to guide all livings to leave the Samsara.
In this small trip, I am so surprised at seeing such a famous paint and getting touch of the shortest mountain in Taiwan. Cha-Yi is an interesting county which has view of country, sea, mountain and historic story. I really want to go to Cha-Yi again.Recently, I heard about the shortest mountain in Taiwan, located in Chiayi County, called Dongkang Mountain. Although it is only eleven meters tall, it has a triangular peak similar to Yushan Mountain. Dongkang Mountain is in Budai, south of Puzi City and near the sea. Reaching the top takes less than half a minute. Out of curiosity, I visited Dongkang Mountain and stood at its peak to experience the charm of the countryside.
Afterward, I visited the National Palace Museum Southern Branch, located in Taibao City, the administrative center of Chiayi County. The museum features various collections, some of which are designated as national treasures. I was particularly captivated by a painting often found in Buddhist texts. The artwork depicts two figures: an adult and a child. They are believed to represent Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, who took human forms to guide sentient beings and help them escape the cycle of samsara.
This short trip left me amazed by the famous painting and the unique experience of standing on Taiwan's shortest mountain. Chiayi is an interesting county with diverse attractions, including scenic countryside, the sea, mountains, and rich historical stories. I look forward to visiting Chiayi again.
