Beautiful spot. Any trip to Changhua needs a visit to Baguashan. You can wander around the Buddah and surrounding temple buildings as well as the gardens and wider area. Great gift shop on the ground floor to the right of the Buddah. Several stalls selling street food such as dried squid, tea eggs etc. There's a great view over Changhua from the main lookout - you can see as far as Lugang and the coast on a clear day. Further back there is a fish pond and if you keep exploring you'll find the aeroplanes, steps down the waterfall and the sports centre. There are clean toilet facilities, a visitor centre by the main arch and plenty of spots to park your scooter. I'd recommend walking up the back steps from near the university. Can get busy, but not overly so, just people taking photos. A great place to come watch fireworks on New Years Eve. 5 stars, though my only warning is that at night, there are stray dogs lurking in...

Read moreEvery visit to the Buddha statues brings in inner peace. And when it is a huge statue with hardly any crowd, you tend to be dwarfed. But the visit was wonderful. Impressive statue with great photo opportunities. Easy parking and plenty to look at. The statue itself was amazing but loads of other items around as well. Some super views over the city. It was one of scenic spots in Changhua for visitors. The attraction was giant Buddha statue on top of the mountain. Clean place and comfortable environment. We took a taxi from Changhua Station to come there due to little bit...
