Tainan Travel

Hsuan Kong Fa Temple(玄空法寺), located in Nanxi(楠西), covers a wide area. The temple's flower garden is especially beautiful, well known for its Taiwan white pine, tree fossils and unusual rock scenery. The forest path laid by the temple's own masters - The Trail of Life - attracts many tourists. Not only is the 300~400 meter long trail the longest of its kind in Taiwan, it also boasts breathtaking scenery on both sides! Wandering the path, one can admire the many elegant shapes of the centuries old Taiwan white pine, intertwined old pines, and many examples of "wood jade" petrified wood 100~200 million years old. Wood jade is a rare kind of tree fossil, which, according to tradition, is used to bring peace to the home and exorcise evil spirits.
