Keelung Fairy Cave

This Buddhist temple sitting beside Keelung Harbor (基隆港) is unable to trace back the date of construction. Reliefs of Bodhisattva (菩薩) were directly sculpted on the wall of cave, buddha statues and ritual instrument were kept in the cave. Unlike most temples which are made of wood, it is built inside a littoral cave and less likely to be hazarded by fire. Since it is inside a cave, the indoor room is smaller than usual temples. Be cautious of collision with other visitors. Lots of poems and messages left by modern poets and visitors could be found on the wall. To see the statue of Avalokiteśvara (觀世音菩薩), visitors have to squeeze through a narrow gap. Even those are in medium build need to bend down for passage. It might be a bit harsh for visitors with rounder figure.
