EP36 Pingtung Checheng Township | Moonlight and the Journey

from Bao Island Storyteller: Journey to the West

Episode thirty-six brings us to Checheng Township — a quiet town on the Hengchun Peninsula famous for two things: Fuan Temple, the largest Earth God temple in all of Taiwan, and Sichongxi Hot Springs hidden in the hills. While we eat fresh squid balls and seafood grilled by the roadside, we soak in the warm alkaline springs and listen to Chapter 36 of Journey to the West — one of its quietest, most beautiful chapters. Tang Monk sits under the full moon and cries from homesickness — until Sun Wukong teaches him something surprising: the moon is always changing, but there's something inside you that never changes at all.Location: Checheng TownshipFood: Squid Balls | Seafood Barbecue
