  • Experiencing C-Pop Nostalgia at Tainan’s Sunset Platform (Dec2024)

    I worked in Bei Jing from 2007-2013 as an expat, at that time enjoyed C-pop well, going to the lives or Karaoke with friends or by myself. Especially Taiwanese and HK popstars were for everybody. Anyone can sing the top star’s any popular songs.

    The owner of our Tainan(this is the 2nd time I stay her place) accommodation brought us to the 安平金城sunset platform, the timing was the best the season was nice. It was an evening of January, temperature was above 20 Degree! Around the platform there are several Oden （=fish cake stew) stalls, it reminds me Korean street. They matched well with winter cold but it seems the moderate temperature is also suitable to enjoy it.

    Highlight for me and Miss Ou ( the owner ,who was born in 1974 ,1year older than me) was a young street musician’s singing golden hits of our C-POP golden times. The first song was Chang Chen-yue – Wikipedia’s 愛我別走Bing Videos…WOW. Definitely for me that song was of Jay Chow ,then later know the original version .Too nostalgic. She sang ,visitors there sang ,I sang. That feeling was so special .I sang Taiwanese song in Taiwan together with Taiwanese and the sunset time. Happy, happy about the fact I could have common feeling with them around.

  • Tai Chung Tea room Chiou Shan Tang 秋山堂 in the National Taiwan museum of Fine Arts(Jan2025)

    It’s much more than a museum café. Guests can purely enjoy the time of great Taiwanese tea in a cozy and quiet space. Chiou Shan Tang（秋山堂）is a sister company of Chun Shui Tang (春水堂）but the style is totally different. If you are someone who wants to discover the wonder of tea, let’s spend several hours here. They also offer some yummy dim sums.

    Antiques in a cozy mode
    Spacious and not so crowded, imagine to spend several hours here with friends
    too luxury isn’t it?

    This atomosphere is difficult to find in Japan or maybe in Tai Pei.

    Each city’s population density tells us its main reason

    Tokyo =6,444/ ㎢

    Tai Pei =9,831㎢

    Tai Chung =1,291㎢

    practical and beautiful but I couldn’t find it online platforms

    Tea set seems to be very simple, but it was selected quite well. In China, people say to nurture a teapot. This is the one that is worth nurturing. I ordered the best Alisan tea, which they are proud of, and yes, the quality was high and the price was honest (At first glance, I thought it was a bit expensive but actually quite reasonable. Half of it is enough for the two of us to enjoy for around 2 hours (we can bring back the rest of the tea; the shop even offers sealing service).
