I arrived at the salt fields just before 5pm. The sun was starting to set and the scene of it was beautiful. Salt was piled up in sections throughout the field. Most of the sections were prohibited from entering. Nevertheless there were some sections with tools and salt for people to experience salt farm ploughing. The sunset scene (5:30-6pm) was so pretty that either mobiles or cameras could easily take nice photos of it. Unfortunately there was a bit of thick cloud near the horizon, I couldn’t see the sunset till the end.

NanKunShen represents the best paintings and relief art, sculptures, and Porcelain works of any temple I have visited in South East Asia. The sheer variety and high quality of works is staggering. We enjoyed reliefs and stories behind them of the original temple to the main Wang Di Ye temple. You will want a trained guide to tell you stories such as the brothel owner from Banchiao who donated a "lou-ti" wall panel with his name to tell temple goers where to go for fun. Ying Zai Gung (Wan Shen Ye) is small but important to pray to as recommended by Guan Shi Yin because it was his land where he tended cows that became this temple with 5 Wang Ye (gods). Ling Shao Bao Dian is behind, it has modern era art depictions, which include a painting of Yankee pitcher and World Series winner, Wang Jian Min. It is filled with unique master works including the porcelain tableau sculptures on roofs and the largest cast ceramic wall relief of Yu Wang Da Di and his followers, which is an amazing piece. My favorite is the Jade picture of 100 loyal ministers of the emperor, which features a rainbow made of jade on either side of made of eight different colors of jade. It cannot be replicated those jades are so rare.

a symbol of the heyday of tile-paved salt fields and fishing village The building that houses the National Scenic Area Administration in Beimen Village, Beimen Township, used to be the office of Beimen Salt Fields. In order to underscore Beimen’s unique culture, which is centered on the salt fields and fishing village, the square in front of the Administration building is paved with tiles used in the erstwhile salt fields. Besides office facilities, a salt field office built during the Japanese colonial period, and also known as the Beimen Police Substation, occupies a part of the premises of the Scenic Area Administration. The former police substation is a single-story Japanese-style wooden house with black-tile rooftop, horizontal wood-paneled walls and a unique tenon structure that is simply amazing!
