Maisan


      
       
    Called Maisan, or 'Horse Ears Mountain' due to the unique shape Maisanof its twin peaks. What makes the park such an interesting visit however is the Buddhist temple, Tapsa, located at the foot of the mountain. The temple is not so much a building as it is a collection of hundreds of stones piled one atop another. These pagodas number about 80 and, according to legend, were put together about 100 years ago by a hermit monk as his personal prayer for peace.
