Tainan ◦ Longci | Longci Light Festival | TAIWAN 368-23

by YU-LING 2025-01-15
YU-LING

Longci, situated southeast of Tainan, is nestled in the hilly region at the southern end of the Alishan Mountain Range, with elevations ranging from 80 to 350 meters. This varied terrain has fostered a diverse array of natural landscapes. The prevalence of mudstone in the area has led to significant erosion from rainwater and streams, resulting in a distinctive badland terrain known as the barren "Moon World." As a result, many residents have moved away, leaving only around 3,000 people, making it the least populated administrative district in Tainan.

Adjacent to Tainan, Cieding is a coastal town renowned for its exceptional offshore fishing grounds and a well-developed harbor constructed from a lagoon. Many residents depend on nearshore fishing for their livelihoods. The highest recorded mullet catch in Taiwan was achieved at Xingda Harbor in Cieding. During the winter mullet season, the streets are often lined with golden mullet roe being sun-dried, signifying the "golden season" for local fishermen.

Pingtung ◦ Linluo | A Village Full of Hakka Charm | TAIWAN 368-13

by YU-LING 2024-11-06
YU-LING

The first impression Linluo gave me was how warm and united the people of this town are! Since the singer Julia Peng hails from Linluo, when she released her first Hakka album, the locals celebrated by hanging red cloth strips with creative Hakka text in their shops and homes. Even though I don't understand Hakka, I could feel how proud the residents are of this Golden Melody Award-winning singer!

This time, we explored Gangshan Old Street, capturing its essence, and also climbed to the top of the Siaogangshan Skywalk. From this vantage point, we could see the entire Kaohsiung.

by YU-LING 2024-08-28
YU-LING

Located in Nanzhou, Pingtung, formerly known as "Xizhou," the town was named after the "Xizhou River" flowing through it. Since there were many places in Taiwan named "Xizhou," to prevent confusion, it was renamed "Nanzhou" in 1956.
