Zhaiming Temple is unusual because it is a Buddhist monastery, not just a temple. It is over 150 years old, founded during the Ching Dynasty, before the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945). The monastery has a statue of Guanyin, the goddess of mercy. During the weekend, the nuns serve tea and coffee, and free vegetarian food -- make whatever donation you consider appropriate. The monastery is included in Taiwan's top 100 religious sites. The aim of the monastery is "To uplift the character of humanity and build a pure land on earth." By the way, the monastery has a museum attached which may be of interest.

Dasi is a really great place to visit. You can have a very different experience from the city. In Dasi, there is unique architecture which is from the Japanese occupation period and the Dasi old street is famous. Dasi also is one of the Taiwan top ten towns for sightseeing. The only disadvantage is always full of people in the weekend.This time I participated in an annually festival called "DaxiDaxi" in summer. It was really spectacular and worth it.

Daxi Old Streeet has some stunning old architecture from the Japanese colonial period (1895-1945). It's a narrow street, we could just fit out car down it. The food is the snack-style sreet food that once dominated Taiwan's towns ands cities. Try it, it's good, I've eaten a lot of street food and I'm still round to tell the tale. Daxi is best known for its connection to Taiwan's old president, Chiang Kai-shek, who had a holiday house overlooing the river. Chiang is a controversial figure these days, I hope the proposal to do away with his holiday house is abandoned, it's a very quaint old building, it would be sad to see it go..

The Daxi Old Bridge has been replaced by a new bridge, which as a lane for cyclists and motorcyclists. The old bridge is a suspension bridge, it is open to pedestrians. The old bridge is quite good, you can see it from the tower above the river in Daxi township.
