things to savor in
Taiwan: The beauty
of the Island; the
beautiful native
people; the unusual

and the hospitalities
and friendliness of
the people. Wherever
we went, there were
many things to enjoy
and to experience!”

Tour of Taiwan

Culture, history, geography

and, of course, more bonsai

By Gudrun Benz, Germany
ighlights of the post-convention tour were the
visit of the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum
Hnear Kaohsiung with bonsai exhibition and
the bus ride along the spectacular east coast of the

The route along the Pacific Ocean side of Taiwan,
goes up and down the steep coastline with stunning
sceneries. Sometimes I could see precipices of several
hundred metres deep just beside the road—no place
for people with fear of heights.
