A Quiet Journey: Exploring the Intersection of Culture and Spirituality

#Taipei Itinerary Treasures of Wisdom in Museums Early in the morning, I took a bus from Taipei to Nantou and arrived at the magnificent Chung Tai World Museum. The museum is located next to the Chung Tai Chan Monastery and has a simple yet solemn architectural style. As soon as you step into the museum, you will be attracted by the numerous Buddhist art treasures. Whether it is the finely carved Buddha statues or the classic books that have been passed down for thousands of years, they are all full of tranquility and wisdom. I particularly admired a thangka depicting the story of Buddha, the details of which were breathtaking. In the afternoon, I followed the tour guide to learn the stories and cultural significance behind the collections. At dusk, strolling through the Zen courtyard outside the museum, the sun shining on the white stone slabs, I felt a sense of peace and contentment.

New Beitou Station - During the Japanese colonial period, in order to develop the hot spring tourism industry in the New Beitou area, the New Beitou Branch Line was built. In 1916 (the 5th year of Taisho era), the "New Beitou Passenger Station" was established and later renamed as "New Beitou Station". The name "New Beitou" originated from this. New Beitou Station is the only remaining century-old station on the North-South MRT Line and even in Taipei City. Its station building is made of wood, and the carved flower brackets under the eaves and the 3+1 combination tiger windows produced during the expansion of the station building in 1937 are a major feature of the station architecture.
