Behold, the Pacific Ocean. Somewhere, many many miles away, is America. The bump on the horizon is called Turtle Island. Used as a military instillation during martial rule by the KMT, the residents were forced to move onto the mainland. The island has always stood as a symbol for the local community and culture of Yilan.
The Strait of Taiwan. East of Hsinchu city sits a long stretch of beach, formed from the sediment which flows down the mountains. Unfortunately, the sand was unstable so I could not place my feet into the ocean. Somewhere, many miles into the horizon is China and several missiles targeted towards the island.
A field perfect for playing Ultimate Frisbee. Unfortunately, I did not bring the disc that day. Dongshan River Park is the first highly successful project to develop public space in Taiwan. The meticulous design and construction of the park took ten years to build. Ironically, this park highlighting local culture was design by an outside Japanese firm.
