Eighty-eight of "All the Way to the Dust".

Beitou

(Editor's note: Mr. Li Chenguang, 84 years old this year, he has made some brief outlines of the cities where he has lived and worked in his life, and the impressions given to him by these cities. )

Beitou, on the northwest seaside of Taipei City, we arrive at Beitou Hot Springs. In addition to traditional Chinese characters, Korean and Japanese are added to public places and facilities. Most of the Taiwanese residents are small, ochre-skinned, thin and ugly. The climate is humid, but the people are weathered and wrinkled, which is very different from the scenery. Most of the indigenous people of Taiwan and Lingnan have been like this since ancient times, but when women speak Mandarin, their voices are soft and delicate. The toilets on Taiwan's planes and in urban areas are clean and tidy, and they are mostly labeled as "powder rooms".

Beitou is the most famous leisure and pleasure place in Taiwan. The sunset in Taiwan is slightly earlier than Shanxi, and the sky is getting late, and the place where we stayed is the "Atami Hotel" at No. 258 Guangming Road, the layout of the hotel is a little bizarre, and the indoor furnishings are simple and clean.

At 5 o'clock the next morning, dogs barked. Outside the window, the trees are dense and full of shade. The banyan tree on one side of the road is tall and its aerial roots hang down to the ground; Coconut palms, palms, loquats and unknown trees grow luxuriantly and leafy. The stream on the side of the road is babbling, the water is shining, and the scenery is very beautiful, and the city is like the countryside.

In the morning, first go to New Taipei City, along the way on the hillside to see the tombs, quite spectacular, luxuriously decorated, various styles, the locals jokingly called "nightclub".

At 10 o'clock, enter the Yeliuchi Geopark on the seashore, 2 kilometers along the coast, the special landscape is rock, after hundreds of millions of years of sea erosion weathering and crustal movement, the honeycomb stone, mushroom-like stone and so on on the shore are created, stretching and listed, strange shape, rare in the world.
