Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum
The Buddha Museum is over one hundred hectares in size and took nine years to build.

Going through the main entrance, visitors will first arrive at the Front Hall. Visitors will pass the Eight Pagodas, the Grand Photo Terrace, and the Bodhi Wisdom Concourse to get to the Main Hall, above which towers the Fo Guang Big Buddha.
Jiu Zhen Nan
After Taiwan's restoration, Han cakes not only continued to use the original rice ingredient, but also began to use flour. Many traditional Chinese cakes such as red tortoise cakes, brown sugar cakes, mung bean cakes, and various wedding cakes also added flour and cream during the production process, and even mixed in Western tastes. Not only did they retain the unforgettable deliciousness in people's memory, but they also gradually formed dim sum and wedding cakes with contemporary flavors.
Jiu Zhen Nan wedding cakes were famous for their exquisite craftsmanship and became the first choice of wedding cakes for local gentry at that time. In that era, large cakes weighing several kilograms were packed in gift baskets to show the dignity and splendor of the wedding. Jiu Zhen Nan has accompanied everyone through the changes of the times and the integration of cultures, showing the diverse culture to the world in a more exciting and moving manner. In the past, it has also tried to sell Western-style pastries to present a more diverse appearance.
