中秋連假才剛結束,十月的國慶連假又要來了!
如果正計畫帶著一家人出門走走,可以將親子同樂的觀光工廠和生技園區列入考慮,除了能讓孩子盡情放電,大人也能好好充電。

Tainan ◦ Liouying | More Than Just Fresh Milk: A Place That Nurtured Masters of Art | TAIWAN 368-75
When people think of Liouying, often praised as Taiwan’s “hometown of dairy cows,” the first thing that comes to mind is its rich and fragrant fresh milk. I’m a devoted fan of Liouying milk myself. On this visit to Liouying, I discovered not only the local Liu clan culture, but also artists who left a profound impact on the worlds of painting and music. Only then did I realize there is another side of Liouying—one that is truly captivating.
Every time I visit Tainan, I am either amazed by its time-honored cuisine, lingering among historic sites, or discovering unexpected scenery in its narrow alleys. This time, a walk into the North District brought all three delights at once. Tainan is simply a city that never grows tiresome, no matter how many times you return.
When I arrived in Budai, I thought the highlight would be its bountiful seafood. To my surprise, what truly moved me was the magnificent history of salt production—a tradition that has stretched on for over two centuries and still leaves traces everywhere in the town.
In the past, whenever I visited Baihe, I would usually head straight to Guanziling—soak in the hot springs, enjoy some urn-roasted chicken, and then go home. This time, I returned for the kapok blossoms in full bloom from March to April. I made a point to slow down and wander into the town center. The lively atmosphere of the market and the vibrant everyday bustle gave me a new impression of Baihe—no longer just a place of attractions, but a place rich with local life.
Seeing Kaohsiung Through Netflix Taiwan’s Exclusive Event: “Mazu’s Escort! The Straw Hat Pirates Parade”
Last Saturday, Netflix hosted the “Mazu’s Escort! The Straw Hat Pirates Parade” at Kaohsiung Harbor to promote the live-action One Piece. The event drew more than 80,000 attendees. As the sea’s guardian deity, Mazu teaming up with One Piece was truly a dream collaboration. I absolutely loved the creativity behind this large-scale event, so of course I didn’t want to miss it—and I had an amazing time that day.
As a light-roast enthusiast who hand-brews at least two cups every day, there was no way I was going to miss the Taiwan International Coffee Show 2026: Kaohsiung! This year’s expo is particularly exciting, bringing together more than 50 specialty coffee brands. The exhibition features everything from green beans and roasted beans to coffee liqueurs, professional equipment, and coffee brewing tools.
