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.
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。
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。
沿著舊莊街二段前往山區，在尋找包種茶的路上，看著車窗外的綠意盎然，很難相信這一大片山林屬於寸土寸金的「臺北」。
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.
While taking a stroll around Lover’s Lake Park, I stumbled upon a cozy-looking multi-purpose art and culture space. Inside, a few wooden tables and chairs with a warm, natural texture caught my eye. As I admired the space, the founder started sharing her journey—how she return to her hometown and used cross-industry collaboration to drive local revitalization.
“She must really love this place.”
Her passion for Keelung was evident in the way she spoke, and it made me see this land in a whole new light.
大園位於桃園北部，是桃園國際機場以及未來桃園航空城的所在地，也是許多國外旅客抵達臺灣的第一站。
我不禁在想，如果有外國朋友來訪或即將離境，該如何用最快的速度帶他們體驗臺灣道地美食和在地文化？
Since I lived in Kaohsiung and spent my school years in southern Taiwan, I didn’t have much money or time to travel to the northern part of the island when I was a student. Whenever I had the chance to visit Taipei, I felt incredibly excited. My first stop in Taipei was always Taipei Main Station, located in the Zhongzheng District. Even though it’s still within the same country, arriving there gave me a sense of adventure, as if I was traveling far from home—a feeling I still find hard to forget.
一位在竹科工作的朋友告訴我，每當需要清空思緒、重新整理專案進度時，他總會來香山濕地放空，吹著海風，看著日落，讓每天和數據打交道的他，有重新校正的喘息空間。
直到我走進香山，來到賞蟹步道，才真正理解那位朋友的意思。
Unless there is heavy rain, it is quite rare to see the sky in Pingxi without sky lanterns. As I watch the lanterns slowly rise into the air, with mountains visible in the distance, I can't help but wonder: won't this lead to the tragedy of a forest fire? However, it is precisely because Pingxi is surrounded by mountains that the lanterns cannot fly out of the area. Additionally, with an average humidity of 75-80%, Pingxi is the only place in Taiwan where releasing sky lanterns is legally permitted. This unique environment has also allowed Pingxi to develop local characteristics that are unlike any other township.
