From May until around the Mid-Autumn Festival is the prime season when oysters are at their fullest, juiciest, and most irresistibly sweet. In other words, right now is the best time to savor them at their finest. Dongshih in Chiayi, protected by the natural barrier of Waisanding Sandbar, is not only the largest oyster-producing area in Taiwan but is also renowned nationwide for its exceptional quality.
When traveling in Taiwan, I have a particular fondness for small rural villages near major towns—places that are peaceful yet rich in local life. Puxin, located next to Yuanlin, is exactly that kind of place. In Puxin, you can explore historic houses, taste freshly harvested grapes, and soak in the warm afternoon sun. These simple yet fulfilling moments are what I cherish the most.
Located in Gongliao, on the easternmost tip of Taiwan’s main island, lies a stunning 30-kilometer stretch of winding coastline. With its rugged terrain and diverse natural scenery, the area is home to popular attractions such as Fulong Beach, Sandiaojiao Lighthouse, and the Old Caoling Tunnel. Each summer, families flock here for the annual Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art Festival, making it a favorite seasonal event for both locals and tourists.
On Saturday, September 6, the annual religious event “Hengchun Chiang Ku Festival” will take place. This year, 17 teams will compete for the championship banner!
When people think of Hengchun, the first things that come to mind are usually the overpriced stalls of Kenting Night Market, the iconic Eluanbi Lighthouse, or the breathtaking Kenting National Park. But beyond its tourist-heavy reputation, Hengchun has a hidden side—one that many have never witnessed firsthand: The “Chiang Ku” (Pole-Climbing) Competition—a jaw-dropping, high-stakes event that blends faith, courage, and ancient techniques, only performed once a year during the Ghost Festival.
這是我第十次造訪日本，卻是第一次踏上沖繩。
以前想到沖繩，都覺得這裡是水上活動愛好者的天堂、購物者的聖地，跟我沒什麼關係……
今年到日本走四國遍路，恰巧遇上三年一度的瀨戶內國際藝術祭，說什麼都不想錯過登島朝聖的機會！
23 歲那年，曾在旅遊雜誌看到一句話：「三套衣物就能讓你活上一個星期，能活上一個星期就能活上一個月！」
這句話啟發了我，在入手人生第一顆 Osprey 36 L 登山背包後，我成了一名回不去的背包客。
相對於日本其他地區，在非觀光區域的遍路住宿冷門許多，為什麼還是決定整理出來呢？
From Temple No. 66, Unpen-ji, to Temple No. 88, Ōkubo-ji, there are 23 temples located within Kagawa Prefecture. As the final leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, Kagawa symbolizes the journey of a pilgrim who, after enduring hardships and overcoming inner struggles, finally reaches a state of spiritual freedom, fulfillment, and peace.
走了 23 天，開始對距離有點麻木，忽然想知道 1 天走 20 到 30 公里是什麼概念？
