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.
Xinyi District is situated in the heart of Keelung City and is home to numerous administrative offices and educational institutions, including the prestigious Keelung Girls' Senior High School. This has contributed to the district's reputation as a cultural district.

If given the opportunity to live in Keelung, Xinyi District would undoubtedly be my first choice!

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.
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.
