The beauty of Taiwan

      Taiwan is a beautiful island. Not only are the mountains and rivers as magnificent as the valleys and woods, but gentle and kind people are part of the culture here. It is a really outstanding place to grow up.
      Taiwan has rolling green hills and crystal blue waters everywhere. For example, Jade mountain is Taiwan's highest peak, and often has pure white clouds surronding it. I wish one day I could stand on the top of the mountain to breathe the fresh air and enjoy the spectacular views. Beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains can be seen at Sun Moon Lake. There's even an interesting event held there every summer that thousands of people swim across the lake. Isn't it amazing? And full of poetic beauty, is Shanlin River. Not only tourists, but also photographers like to take pictures here, especially when the leaves change color. How wonderful! As if it was spring all year round, Taroko Gorge possesses lush, beautiful scenery. There are also many rigorous hikes to do in there, some can be really challenging. There's also a National Park, it's a scenic spot that tourisits would never miss. Even my foreign teacher says it's a wonderland of Taiwan.
      Taiwan is a place where culture thrive, too. Such as the Ilan Folk Village, which contains both the traditional artistic influence and the modern sincerity of people. If you get a chance to visit Ilan, don't forget to go and check it out. Temple fairs, which are meaningful and special folk celebrations, have a variety of lively performances. Besides, there are also a lot of vendors busy attracting people's attention. For me, my favorite food in the fair is a spring roll. However, there are still so many gorgeous places wait for me to see, to explore. People of this land are honest, diligent and industrious. They are rich in human feelings and compassion. Harmony is the best portrayal of these peoples' lives.

      Taiwan-Formosa means beautiful island. Your body and soul can be rejuvenated here. Growing on this land is so rewarding!
