For some reason, every time I arrive at Banqiao Station, I find myself caught in the experience of getting lost. Similar to Taipei Main Station, Banqiao Station is a complex structure where five different transit systems converge, with connections to various transportation options and shopping centers, making it feel like a maze. However, this complexity also underscores Banqiao's undeniable prosperity. In addition to its rapid commercial development, Banqiao is home to several renowned historical sites, such as the Lin Family Mansion and Garden. Experiencing the slow flow of cultural sentiments amidst the bustling urban area is one way to truly appreciate the essence of Banqiao.

Beimen, located in the northwestern coastal region of Tainan, is the most developed township for the salt production industry in Taiwan.

Today marks "Shuangjiang," one of the 24 solar terms, signifying the weather turning colder and dew forming frost. During this season, the silver grass in the mountainous town of Ruifang gradually blooms, covering the hillsides and creating an ethereal landscape!

Located on the Chianan Plain, Guantian in Tainan has a hot and humid climate that is ideal for growing water caltrops, rice, sugarcane, and mangoes. Guantian has the largest area and highest production of water caltrops in the country, earning it the title "The Land of Water Caltrops."
Autumn is coming! Every year from October to November, it's the season when the miscanthus blooms. Whether in the mountains or by the river, you can admire the miscanthus swaying like silver waves. Houlong Cape of Good Hope , located at the highest point of the hills, is an excellent spot to appreciate the miscanthus. Besides the miscanthus, Houlong's unique Hakka characteristics continue to surprise me!
