New Taipei City ◦ Banqiao | Christmasland in New Taipei City | TAIWAN 368–17

by YU-LING 2024-12-11
YU-LING

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.

Yunlin ◦ Huwei | The Hometown of Glove Puppetry | TAIWAN 368-17

by YU-LING 2024-12-04
YU-LING

Perhaps because I had spent some leisurely time in other towns in Yunlin, when I arrived in Huwei, the second-largest town in the region, it felt as though time sped up, and I had to quicken my pace to keep up with everyone.

以農業為主的虎尾,曾因製糖業的興盛而得到「糖都」的稱號,也因布袋戲國寶黃海岱與次子黃俊雄的推廣,讓虎尾有了「布袋戲的故鄉」的美名。

Yilan ◦ Jiaoxi | A Famous Hot Spring Town in Taiwan | TAIWAN 368–14

by YU-LING 2024-11-20
YU-LING

When I arrived in Jiaoxi, I initially intended to focus on the annual Hot Spring and Lantern Festival, but what left the deepest impression on me was the unique local landscape. Foot baths were scattered around every few streets, and nearly a hundred hot spring hotels shaped the area within a 2-kilometer radius of Jiaoxi Station.

【2026 Hostinger】Review & Discount

by YU-LING 2024-11-13
YU-LING

In November 2024, my three-year plan with A2 Hosting expired. When purchasing virtual hosting services, there’s often a common issue: the initial price is very attractive—usually around 20–30% of the regular cost—but the renewal price jumps to a premium rate. So, taking advantage of the Black Friday deals and after careful comparison, I decided to move to Hostinger!

Pingtung ◦ Linluo | A Village Full of Hakka Charm | TAIWAN 368-13

by YU-LING 2024-11-06
YU-LING

The first impression Linluo gave me was how warm and united the people of this town are! Since the singer Julia Peng hails from Linluo, when she released her first Hakka album, the locals celebrated by hanging red cloth strips with creative Hakka text in their shops and homes. Even though I don't understand Hakka, I could feel how proud the residents are of this Golden Melody Award-winning singer!

New Taipei City ◦ Ruifang | A New Look for the Old Mining Town | TAIWAN 368-11

by YU-LING 2024-10-23

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! After descending the mountain, I headed towards the Gold Museum to continue exploring the mining sites and landscapes of Ruifang.

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.
