Taiwan - Day 5 (日月潭 & 文武庙) (Part 1)

日月潭 is the largest lake in Taiwan, they also call it the Pearl of central Taiwan.  I heard from the tour guide that after the 911 earthquake, the sun moon lake become only 80% of its original size. There used to a tribe of 原住民, who stay in the middle of sun moon lake. After the 911 earthquake, only less than 10% of their pple remain. They are now classified as endangered tribe and protected by government of Taiwan.

文武庙 was built in 1938, and rebuilt in 1969. Why name as 文武庙? Because pple worship 孔子(文) and 关羽(武) and 岳飞 in this temple.









文武庙










We did some praying and also lighted the candles for my 2 sisters who are still schooling. Let hope Confucius will "bo bi" the 2 of them having great results for examination. Esp the youngest one!!!
