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.
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.
如果到彰化的時間只夠玩一個鄉鎮，我肯定毫不猶豫大推鹿港！
這座曾經繁華一時的港口小鎮，像是一座活生生的歷史博物館，光是走進老街，就像穿越過去。
The season of golden trumpet trees is approaching! The blooming period of these beautiful trees is short, lasting only about three weeks on average. Often, they bloom just as the cherry blossoms are still lingering. However, once it rains, the blossoms quickly fall. Every year, from late February to early March, I enjoy visiting the Chiayi and Changhua regions to admire the golden sea of flowers in full bloom during early spring!
Puyan, primarily an agricultural area, is known as the "Hometown of Vegetables" and also called the "Hometown of Glutinous Rice" due to its large production of glutinous rice. The picturesque countryside here can be seen in many rural areas of Taiwan; however, the temples nestled in the fields give Puyan a unique cultural landscape.
