Sunday stroll to Baguashan!

A few weeks ago Julie, Manti, and the boys came over to visit--we ended up going to Baguashan...I had been wanting to go for awhile, so I was excited to hear they wanted to take us. Baguashan is a park in Changhua that is famous for its Big Buddha statue! The statue sits on the very top of the mountain and looks out over the city. At night, red beams of light shoot out from the Buddha's eyes....ooooh, scary! We had a good time....here are some pics from our excursion.

The beautiful, Changhua...pollution and all.
