Shuilian Cave Fan Yin Temple is a natural arch cave. On the upper right side, there is a trestle bridge and trail that crosses the Tengping River. There's also a glutinous rice bridge built during the Japanese colonial period in 1918, which is now nearly a hundred years old. With its vintage charm, the bridge frames the Tengping River valley, where the water has carved out a spectacular "one-line sky" canyon over ten meters deep. The area is lush and green, offering cool and pleasant shade along the trail.

The main hall of the Maitreya Boulevard Nature Culture World blends elegant European style with the calm and reserved aesthetics of the East, skillfully expressing the site’s vision of “one world, one family.” The bronze statue of the Maitreya Buddha stands at 56.7 meters tall, and with its base, reaches a total height of 72 meters—equivalent to a 24-story building. It has become a major tourist attraction in Taiwan and Hsinchu, and is also the tallest bronze Maitreya Buddha statue in the world.
