BAGUASHAN

Baguashan Mountain, literally the eight trigrams, is one of the most visited sites in Taiwan because of the large 30-metre high Buddha statue, peacefully seated on a 5-metre high lotus-shaped pedestal. The Buddha is hollow and has six floors with life-size dioramas of Sakyamuni Buddha. From the orbits and auditory orifices one can contemplate the view of the Buddhist-inspired park with its pavilions and pagodas. The mountain name of the Eight Trigrams comes from the code used by traditional diviners.
