The Sun Moon Cave (日月洞廣照禪寺)
Saturday's exploration hike was a success! I've seen many corners of this little island but there is much more to see. One just has to dig a bit deeper and look beyond the beaten path. This temple wasn't in the plans but when one sees a sign to a cave in 200m, one must check it out. The door was locked but thankfully a few locals were inside. They let us in to see this temple which has been built inside a cave!
