"Fo Guang Shan Monastery - MUST visit place when visting Kaoshiong"
This is the largest Buddhist monastery in Taiwan

“Must See 480 Golden Buddha Statues, Special Exhibit (1500 Years Old HeBei Buddha Statue) & Main Prayer Hall!”
A serene place to visit when you visit Kaoshiong. In order for us to have more time at the Monastery, we booked a twin room at Fo Guang Shan Monastery. The room is big and simple. The staff at the Monastery are friendly and they will arrange someone to attend to you and she will show you around and provide you with information about Monastery. This will be done prior to your visit to the Monastery via email.
We have the opportunity to join them in their morning prayer and breakfast. It was an experience. The representative from the International Buddhist Progress Society (IBPS) met us after breakfast and show us the Monastery. The Monastery was filled with history and it takes time to visit the site.
We visited the Fo Guang Shan Memorial Hall in the afternoon and there is so much to see however we have to cut short our visit because we need to catch our train to Taipei.
Will plan another visit to Fo Guang Shan Monastery
