 Bagua
Mountain
Can I, can I, can I have one? Wow. You should have
one every day.
Michael, this is the Bagua Mountain Scenic Area, and
behind us the giant buddha that is one of the top
ten landmarks of Taiwan.
Wow, how big is it?
It��s 23 meters high and it��s made of concrete (and
steel).
When was it built?
It was built in 1954, I believe.
I wonder if they built it because the last battle
of the Japanese invasion of 1895 was fought on Bagua
Mountain.
Really?
Yeah.
Right around here?
Nearby somewhere, but I��m not sure where.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, so he��s blessing the battlefield after all these
years.
Maybe!
Nietzsche once said that the abdomen is the reason
why man does not take himself for a god. And my abdomen
right now is wondering, when are we going to get some
food on this trip?
Ok, I get it, I get it.
It really is sour.
Yeah, it��s sour. It��s delicious.
Did you know that pineapple cakes are one of the most
popular things that people buy when they come to Taiwan?
When they come to Taiwan? I knew they were popular
with locals, I mean, they're delicious.
Thank you!
This is for you. I love pineapple cakes.
Me too. These are a little different, aren��t they?
From the kind we usually get?
Yeah, the ones we usually get are kind of like majong
tiles. But these are like candy bars.
Don��t even say it, they��re so delicious. It's wonderful.
I didn't know they had this on Bagua Mountain. I didn't
know there was so much to do here.
There's so much to do on Bagua Mountain. There��s the
gigantic statue of course, there��s the monkey research
center, there are the biking routes, there��s the tea,
the old buildings around the base from 18th century.
There are all kinds of things you can visit in this
area.
And that��s why you should come.
