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。
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。
If it weren’t for my determination to visit all 368 towns and townships of Taiwan, I probably would have never made my way to Xianxi along the coastal route. Riding my scooter, I felt the desolation of the journey, yet at certain turns, I would stumble upon cultural scenes rarely found elsewhere. I think it is precisely these fleeting, precious moments that keep me going.
After getting off at Jiadong Railway Station, our first stop was the famous Ah-Zhi Ban-Tiao (rice noodles). With our appetites satisfied, we continued forward, ready to explore this “living museum.”
每年 9 月到 12 月，新埔憑藉得天獨厚的丘陵地形，加上乾燥少雨的氣候與強勁的九降風，為柿餅在曝曬、乾燥和脫水等製作過程提供了理想的條件。
嚐過之後，發現這些柿餅香甜可口又充滿嚼勁，難怪會成為人手一盒的熱門特產。
大學時在嘉義念書，半夜睡不著的時候，曾經夜衝阿里山，也曾在清晨五點跑到臺南善化，只為喝一碗熱騰騰的牛肉湯。
