Salt Mountain

The Cigu Salt Mountain, or Qigu Yanshan, is both a postcard image for the area and an entertainment site. This quirky place may give you little background into the salt industry, but it’s worth seeing just for how bizarre it is. The mountain itself is a two hectare mound of salt left over from the Taiwan Salt Corporation’s Cigu Salt Fields. It is climbable, and the surrounding view of the ever-flat area surrounding it is enjoyed by busloads of aged tourists on a daily basis. Steps have been carved into the hard salt to make for easy climbing.

Address	No. 66, Yancheng Village, Qigu District, Tainan City

Thousand Buddha

The Fo Guang Shan monastery is a big complex comprised of a temple, schools, museum and art gallery and even a hotel. It is ran by monks and nuns, and the food served here (whether at the cafe or hotel) is entirely vegetarian. Being a religious place, one would expect of course to find statues of Buddha gracing the temple as well as every nook and corner. But here, you'll get to see THOUSANDS of statues from small ones that can fit your hand to one that's 10 stories high!

Address: Fo Guang Shan Monastery, Dashu Kaoshiung, Taiwan
