What a Transition from Mining to Tourism!

Shuinandong, Jinguashi, and Jiufen are former mining towns in Ruifang District, New Taipei City and are gorgeous!

The three towns present living records of the history and culture of Taiwan's mining industry, each one distinguished by the different mining methods they adopted: the simple charm of Shuinandong; the tranquility of Jinguashi; and the traces of the miners' nightlife in Jiufen. Though the gold mines are now closed, these towns continue to exert an allure that attracts visitors to visit and dream.

It's the Anping Tree House!

A definite must see when you are in Tainan in South West Taiwan. It's not a 1000 year old temple in Cambodia but is a more recent amazing reminder of how nature works and prevails. This Banyan tree has taken ownership of this house and kept its distinct forms. If you wanted to plant this tree and do this yourself, I am not sure you could and if you did you will have to wait some time. It is fantastic to see the behavior of nature growing freely and symmetrically. If you are a photo enthusiast you can take some really terrific pictures here...selfie not necessary!

The People of Taiwan have been here for some time. There is some serious history here going back tens of thousands of years!

Museum of Prehistory is one great place to learn more.
In the 1980s and 1990s, a team of archaeologists from National Taiwan University excavated over 1500 stone coffins and more than 20,000 stone and pottery artifacts belonging to the Peinan culture. This museum is dedicated to this discovery and is located a few kilometers from the actual archaeological site. It also houses an extremely in depth exhibit on the current aboriginal groups in Taiwan. Outside the Museum building there are beautifully sculpted grounds and garden area.

Taiwan's Museums are Must Do's!

And the Games Begin!!!..yet again

Whilst we agree Taiwan is Taiwan...being a 'Tactful Taiwan' is also important!
I am sure the sign behind says 'PEACE to STRAITS'

TAIPEI (Taiwan News)--Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Minister Katharine Chang (張小月) said on Thursday during a press conference, “The Republic of China [Taiwan] is a sovereign nation” and “We won’t accept the one-China principle, Taiwan is not a part of China.”

Chang made the statement in rare tough rhetoric on the eve of the first anniversary of President Tsai Ing-wen’s inauguration on May 20 against the backdrop of Fiji’s closure of its de facto embassy in Taiwan, the Fiji Trade and Tourism Representative Office, days ago.

Chang said that China has since 1949 been continuously engaging in activities such as wresting allies away from Taiwan and interfering with Taiwan’s international participation to deny the existence of the ROC.

She said, “The existence of the ROC is a fact,” but China has been pretending that it “neither heard nor saw” that fact, antagonizing Taiwanese people.

Chang said that if China wants to improve the cross-Strait relationship and win the goodwill of Taiwanese people, it should face the fact that the ROC exists and let Taiwan’s voices be heard.

PS. Is now the time to think the USA has Taiwan's back???

Taiwan has the Best Night Markets!...Awesome!

Taiwan is famous for ‘Night Markets’, the Shilin Market is the most prominent of the night markets in Taipei. Stretching along alleyways, the food at Shilin is distinctive with its local delicacies and flavors. From tempura, bubble tea and stinky tofu, to fried chicken steak, this boisterous spot showcases local Taiwanese culture in a bustling environment. Made with sticky potato starch that binds the fried eggs and oysters together, and slicked with savory chili sauce and lime juice, the quintessential oyster omelet is the must-try street dish at Shilin. Apart from enjoying traditional cuisine, guests can pay a visit to local merchandise stores nearby for souvenirs.

Shilin Night Markets is so big it's not easier to find the best place for the ideal shot!

Formosa (Taiwan) it seems was always its own island!

The 184 Days of The Republic of Furmosa

The decision by the Qing Chinese government to cede Taiwan to Japan with the Treaty of Shimonoseki caused a massive uproar in Taiwan. It is really important to note that Formosa (Taiwan) was not actually really being governed when the Qing Dynasty ceded it to Japan. It was more of an Island of various indigenous people getting on with their lives, Chinese pirates living at various ports and a group of Han Chinese claiming to represent Emperor Qing. On May 25, 1895, a group of pro-Qing officials and local gentry declared independence from China, proclaiming a new Republic of Formosa with the goal of keeping Taiwan under Qing rule, choosing then Qing governor Tang Ching-sung as their reluctant president. Japanese forces landed in Keelung on 29 May, taking the city on June 3. President Tang and his Vice-President Chiu Feng-jia fled the island for mainland China the following day.

In late June, remaining supporters of the new Republic gathered in Tainan and selected Liu Yung-fu as the second president. The local Taiwanese Han militia units were mobilized to counter the Japanese occupation. After a series of bloody battles between Japanese and Republic forces which resulted in horrendous Taiwanese casualties, the Japanese had successfully seized Tainan by late October. Shortly afterwards, President Liu fled Taiwan for mainland China, bringing the 184-day history of the Republic to a close.
