Detailed itinerary

1

The Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum is an international museum for everyone.
The Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum is a building that blends ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, tradition and modernity. It has the functions of culture and education, wisdom and practice. The construction of this museum hopes that by enshrining the Dharmakaya relics, which represent the mighty virtue and wisdom of the Buddha, people can develop their own pure Buddha nature while respecting the Buddha's relics, and inject goodness, beauty and sincerity into the world, and bring society of stability and harmony.

2

Old Railway Bridge Hanging Trail is located between Jiuqutang Station and Liukuacuo Station on the Pingtung Line of the Taiwan Railway Administration. The bridge deck spans the Gaoping River (formerly known as Xia Tamsui Creek) and is commonly known as the Gaoping Old Iron Bridge. Designed and built by Japanese engineer Toyoji Ida, it was officially opened in 1914 until it was decommissioned in 1992. It is now a national monument of Taiwan.

3

San Her Tile Brick Yard is located in Dashu District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, adjacent to the Xia Tamsui Iron Bridge over Gaoping River. It has been selected as one of the top ten historical buildings in Kaohsiung County and one of the top 100 historical buildings in Taiwan, and was announced on March 2, 2004. It is a historical building.

Due to soil conditions, the Dashu area used to be Taiwan's main tile kiln concentration area, but now only three Sanhe tile kilns are still in operation. At present, in addition to continuing to produce traditional bricks and tiles for restoration of historical sites, San Her Tile Brick Yard also produces cultural and creative products.

4

Taiwan Pineapple Museum, the only remaining pineapple canning industry building from the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan.
Taiwan is a kingdom of fruits, and pineapple is one of its representatives. Nowadays, pineapple cakes are Taiwan's representative souvenirs. However, most people may not know that Taiwan was the world's top producer of canned pineapples for a period after World War II, and the origins were laid during the Japanese occupation. The main production areas of pineapples are Fengshan and Dashu in the south, and Changhua and Yuanlin in the center. Therefore, the beginning of pineapple canning also revolves around these two major production areas.

5

Mimi Village. The "Lingya International Street Art Festival" launched in 2016 has successfully transformed the image of the city with colors in the old community! With as many as 135 murals, it is the first large-scale art mural community in Taiwan.
