EP66 Nantou County | Maitreya Saves Everyone

Episode sixty-six rolls down to two small towns in Nantou that share a quiet, enduring steadiness — Jiji, where a century-old wooden railway station still stands after being painstakingly rebuilt from earthquake rubble, and Zhushan, home to the Zitong Temple (Purple South Temple), one of the most-visited wealth temples in Taiwan. Over braised dried bamboo shoots that deepen with every simmer and bamboo tube ice cream eaten in the shade, we follow the pilgrim team into their most embarrassing situation yet: every single god sent to rescue them gets poisoned and knocked out. The only one who can fix it? A jolly round Buddha disguised as a melon seller, with a magic belly that swallows demons whole.Location: Jiji Township | Zhushan TownshipFood: Dried Bamboo Shoot | Bamboo Tube Ice Cream
