EP58 Yunlin Gukeng Township | True and False Monkey

Episode fifty-eight takes us up into the mountains of Yunlin to Gukeng — Taiwan's most famous coffee village, where hundred-year-old camphor trees form a cathedral-like green tunnel over the road. Walking through the green tunnel, past coffee farms in the mountain mist, and up to the Pink Bubbles scenic overlook, we hear the Buddha explain what the six-eared macaque really is — and watch Sun Wukong do something that shocks the entire assembled universe. Over oyster omelettes, crispy oyster fritters, and delicate phoenix eye cakes, we witness the most precise act of self-definition in the entire Journey to the West.Location: Gukeng TownshipFood: Oyster Omelette | Oyster Fritter | Phoenix Eye Cake
