這個星期六，為期一個月的寒假就要開始了！
想必有不少家長正在為了該帶家人去哪裡玩而苦惱吧？
When I was a child, I often visited Jiasian with my family. Before heading back to downtown, our last stop was always the taro ice cream street, where we would enjoy a few scoops of taro ice cream before going home. More than twenty years later, I returned to Jiasian and found that the streetscape seemed frozen in time. Except for a few shops that had changed their signs, most of the stores remained exactly as I remembered from my childhood.
Let’s begin the first article of the 2026 “Taiwan 368 Townships” with a place whose name already sounds auspicious — Anding (安定)! Anding is home to ancient temples and a rich King Boat culture, symbolizing heritage and divine protection. It is our hope that this blessing will bring everyone peace and prosperity throughout the year.
Before visiting Daxi, my impression of this place was limited to its delicious dried tofu and bustling old street. It wasn’t until I stepped into the open-air Wood Art Ecomuseum, starting from Hall No. 1 and strolling slowly along Puji Road, that I discovered how enchanting Daxi’s wooden architecture and craftsmanship truly are.
It’s Christmas Eve—wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Among all the bald cypress groves I’ve visited across northern, central, and southern Taiwan, none capture the festive spirit quite like the one in Sanwan! The water reflects the trees as they shift from lush green to fiery orange-red, while the bare, silver-white branches left behind after the leaves fall add a touch of enchantment to the scene. As the cypress season nears its end, I highly recommend a trip to Sanwan to experience its unique sense of romance.
Because my workplace is near Central Park, the Cianjin District has always been the area where I most often wander during breaks from work. Over the past few years, I’ve truly felt how much Kaohsiung has changed. Central Park becomes more beautiful every year, and there are more and more events. As a Kaohsiung local, I’m genuinely proud of my city.
秋冬必訪的落羽松開始轉色了！
每年 12 月到隔年 2 月，正是落羽松由翠綠轉為橘紅的迷人時節。
Located on the busiest stretch of Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Chungking Mansions has always had a mysterious and somewhat intimidating reputation—even many locals in Hong Kong have never dared to step inside. Ever since I watched Wong Kar-wai’s Chungking Express as a child, I was captivated by the chaotic, multicultural scenes it depicted. The desire to explore this place for myself never quite left me.
Thanks to a friend’s family who sent my friend two boxes of MREs from the U.S., I finally got the chance to experience the field rations American soldiers eat outdoors!
好羨慕住在永康的臺南人！
參觀完明亮開闊、充滿藝廊氛圍的臺南市立圖書館新總館後，讓我一度產生了「要不要乾脆在這裡退休？」的念頭。
