I met up with Michael Turton this morning, and the two of us rode out into the hills on the outskirts of Houli 后里. Our stops included the Pilu Temple 毘盧禅寺, originally built in 1928 during the Japanese era 日本統治時代; and the Funghuwangshan Leisure Path, which culminated at a pavilion 162 meters (531 feet) in elevation that provided a panoramic view of Houli and beyond. A few photos from today:
