It had been a while since I last explored Changhua properly. This time, visiting with friends, we were instantly drawn in by the historic sites and local snacks around Yuanlin Station the moment we stepped off the train. This old town, with over three hundred years of history, only grew more captivating the deeper I wandered.
In the past, whenever I visited Baihe, I would usually head straight to Guanziling—soak in the hot springs, enjoy some urn-roasted chicken, and then go home. This time, I returned for the kapok blossoms in full bloom from March to April. I made a point to slow down and wander into the town center. The lively atmosphere of the market and the vibrant everyday bustle gave me a new impression of Baihe—no longer just a place of attractions, but a place rich with local life.
Last Saturday, Netflix hosted the “Mazu’s Escort! The Straw Hat Pirates Parade” at Kaohsiung Harbor to promote the live-action One Piece. The event drew more than 80,000 attendees. As the sea’s guardian deity, Mazu teaming up with One Piece was truly a dream collaboration. I absolutely loved the creativity behind this large-scale event, so of course I didn’t want to miss it—and I had an amazing time that day.
《埃及之王：法老》實在是太、精、彩、了！
這場特展是由奇美博物館和大英博物館共同合作，集結了 280 件作品，是歷年埃及法老文物來臺展出規模最大的一次。
As a light-roast enthusiast who hand-brews at least two cups every day, there was no way I was going to miss the Taiwan International Coffee Show 2026: Kaohsiung! This year’s expo is particularly exciting, bringing together more than 50 specialty coffee brands. The exhibition features everything from green beans and roasted beans to coffee liqueurs, professional equipment, and coffee brewing tools.
When speaking of the devastating Typhoon Morakot in 2009, which caused the catastrophic “88 Flood,” the hardest-hit areas were not only Kaohsiung’s Jiaxian District, mentioned two weeks ago, but also Linbian Township in Pingtung. The disaster struck severely—floodwaters in much of the township once rose as high as two to three stories, leaving widespread destruction. Over time, the nightmare of that flood has gradually faded from public memory. Yet, in the years since, Linbian has actively transformed itself, drawing on its rich agricultural and aquacultural heritage to reinvent its image through eco-friendly tourism that celebrates the land’s bounty.
農曆新年的假期差不多告一段落，元宵節緊接而來，燈會遍地開花，每年的這個時候都覺得分身乏術，每個燈會都好想收藏啊！
Earlier this year, some friends came to visit Kaohsiung and stayed at the Grand Hotel. Thanks to them, I learned that the hotel offers guided tours. That was how I finally had the chance to step inside this renowned cultural landmark and lift a corner of the veil of mystery surrounding the Kaohsiung Grand Hotel.
下禮拜就要過年了，這個年假，推薦大家到桃園復興走走，有山、有水，還有讓我口水直流的泰雅美食！
我的同事是海底撈達人，不管春夏秋冬，每週至少報到一次（到底是有多愛？？？）
