Lingyun Zen Temple was founded by Master Sanchong Baohai in 1910 to enshrine Thousand-hand Gurnyin Buddha. The peak behind the temple was formed by volcanic eruption and looks like an eagle spreading its wings.
When the sky is clear, you may see birds of prey soaring in the air.

凌雲禪寺建於民國29年，規模宏大雄偉，寺中主要奉祀的，正是千手觀音。相傳它是由寶海法師創建，本圓法師接任住持後，更提升了格局，也奠定了凌雲禪寺在佛教界的地位，過去還曾有台灣佛教「四大重鎮」之一的稱呼。依...

來到觀音山，不管是步道階梯或是廟宇建材，大多都是用從這裡生產的觀音山石建造而成的。因為觀音山石表面佈滿了密密麻麻的毛細孔，據說能夠依晴雨的不同，將空氣中的濕氣吐納調節，所以相當耐用，跟其他石材比較起來，...

關渡因背倚觀音山和大屯山，面向淡水河，因而成為一處地勢險要的港口，早年先民由關渡碼頭進入移居臺灣北部開墾，因此關渡的開發甚早，後因兩河（基隆河、 淡水河）河口泥沙淤積，水運才逐漸沒落。關渡擁有美麗而珍貴...

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.
