The oldest temple in Taiwan, according to the Lonely Planet. They date its start as 1619 or something like that. It certainly doesn't look that old but that's like many things Chinese. They seem to have a different approach to old buildings. They constantly maintain these old temples so that most of them don't look that old.
Anyway, it's a huge place. It has tunnels, praying areas, many storeys and loads of things to look at. The photo is of some spinning yellow 'rubic' cubes. I haven't seen them in other temples.
Guang temple is definitely worth a visit. It covers a huge site. The front of the temple faces the Jilong river, whilst the back has a completely different view, one looking out to Danshui and Bali.
From the top fall of the temple you get an idea of the extend of the wetlands that host the Guang Du Nature reserve and some mangrove forest.
