A monastery on top of a hill near the NeiHu area of Taipei. Walk from the MRT Station DaHu Park along a river to a waterfall and make your way up some steep stairs, or cheat and take a bus right to a stop near the monastery so you only walk some more stairs. At the monastery, you can drink water, coffee or tea and enjoy a view of Taipei.
A monastery that might seem a bit too touristy at times.
