ShiTan


The snow in May!
In the beginning of May, I went to ShiTan to see youtonghua and firebug. ShiTan is a town in MiaoLi county. In this place, youtonghua is everywhere. Mountains seem to be covered by snow, which is a funny view because it is in May. Especially when the flowers of youtonghua fell on the ground, those flowers made whole view more fantastic.
At nightfall, we waited for show of firebugs. At about seven, there were more and more firebugs showing in the mountain. I had never seen such many firebugs before, which made the mountain spark at night. It was too miraculous! There, firebugs seemed to be everywhere and we could even touch a firebug easily. Walking in the pathway of mountain, there were full of firebus by
both sides. I was moved by this kind of view because it is very difficult to see firebugs. How luck I was!! Therefore, to protect our environment from destructing is a emergent work for all of us.

AnPing and ChiKan


AnPing and ChiKan both have stories in history. They were the earliest town in Taiwan. At the beginning, they were set by Dutch for commerce and colonization. Then Zheng dynasty took them over and established Tainan from the two towns.
Although time of AnPing and ChiKan had passed, they still left many valuable period pieces for descendants, which let us know our tradition and culture. Today, the government made methods to concerve AnPing and ChiKan. Furthermore, it arranges area for tourism. People can not only walk and see in it, but also buy remembrances and eat famous snacks of Tainan.

GuKeng


GuKeng, It is the place to output coffee in Taiwan. We went to GuKeng in winter vacation and the place we visited is HuaShan.

There is a lake,Jian Lake and a very famous amusement park. .By the lake, there is a temple in Buddism. Standing by the lake made me peaceful and comfortable. It seemed that the time stopped counting and the space was freezing. I could touch myself in deep and thought more clearily due to the view in front of me.
Then we climed up to see the view of YunLin. That day was a misty day, which made YunLin more mysterious. From then on, this place was no more an agricultural county for me. It is truly a beautiful place for me.

LuKang


This winter, my classmates and I went to LuKang for a trip. It is a very special space with many traditional temples, streets, and architectures. Some of them have been there for one or two hundred years! Therefore, in LuKang, we seemed to trace back to a period we had not be born.
In LuKang, we visited the many famous temples, including Tienhou Temple and Lungshan Temple. Tienhou Temple is the most famous temple in LuKang. No matter when you go to
LuKang, it is always full of believer to pray and thank Matsu. And when we went to Lungshan Temple, it was in repairs for strength of architecture. However, we could still see many special characteristics in arcitecture for more than two hundred years.

We then walked in the old aisles. For example, one of them has 9 turns and another is in very narrow space. There are many old aisles in traditional form and gave people a way to go back to the old time. Of course we had this kind of sense indeed.

Free writing (From some people)

When I had free time, I always like to plan to a trip. Sometimes, if I found some interesting places on the web or on TV, I would collect information and made a plan to get the place. I really enjoy the traditional food. I usually look around the place first to find the restaurant which has the most customers, which may means the food may be the very taste the local people eat. But sometimes it turns out that it is just very famous, but not quite delicious. So I now change my way to find the restaurants. I will firstly try to find a native person who lives there, telling him to be my guide. Always, he would bring me to find some unique food, which I can hardly eat in the usual restaurant. Some of them taste good, while some of them taste “special.” All in all, it is the real way to find the local dished. One of the most unforgettable experience happened in Mexico. In a local restaurant, I drank a cup of pick juice teats like strawberry. However, I discovered that the juice was made from frog! No doubt that it is cool, so I drink it a lot, and add some juice of the bat, worm, even cockroach.
Sign…..finally, I have a stomach ache, and my stomach have born a lot of little frog and little cockroach.

COOL~~~~~
