The Ci En Pagoda is a pagoda in Yuchi Township, Nantou County, Taiwan.. The octagonal pagoda was constructed with a traditional Chinese architectural style on top of Mount Shabalan with an elevation of 954-metre (3,130 ft). The height of the pagoda is 46-metre (151 ft), which consists of 12 floors in total. The lower 3 floors were painted in white and the upper 9 floors were painted in golden red.
Taroko National Park is one of the nine national parks in Taiwan and was named after the Taroko Gorge, the landmark gorge of the park carved by the Liwu River. The park spans Taichung Municipality, Nantou County, and Hualien County and is located at Xiulin Township, Hualien County, Taiwan. A colossal white statue of Guan-Yin, the goddess of mercy, is Keelung's main tourist attraction. The smiling deity on a mountain is said to be the guiding landmark for incoming ships and visitors. A climb inside to the top of the statue offers a dazzling view of the harbor and mountains. The statue and goddess' temple are enclosed within the manicured grounds of Chung Cheng Park. Every May the city makes this site the centerpiece of its Ghost Festival ceremony. The Luce Memorial Chapel is a Christian chapel on the campus of Tunghai University in Xitun District, Taichung, Taiwan. It was designed by architects I. M. Pei and Chi-kuan Chen.
