The Baima temple is the largest Tibetan temple in Taiwan. I didn't see any Tibetans monks there, but there were a few members of the Thai sangha visiting when I was there. Oh, forgot to say.

It looks like an interesting place. I'll have to try and visit it sometime. If you ever get the chance, you should try to go to the Baima temple in Yunlin. http://www.linnei.gov.tw/en/BaiMaTemple.htm It's possible to get to it by train, although it does require a bit of walking along a busy, dusty road, and then down a smaller road through pineapple fields. There's also an old Shinto shrine near the train station and so decent hiking. Nice report and photos. It looks like an interesting place. I’ll have to try and visit it sometime.
