February 28 is a national holiday in Taiwan to mourn for the pity souls murdered by the Chinese government back in 1947. The Chang-Kai-Shek government took over Taiwan from the Japanese in 1945. A horrible political oppression was enforced on Taiwanese people since then, and had lasted for 50 years. Well-educated gents, teachers, and doctors were arrested and murdered during that period since the Chinese government wanted to take full control of the Taiwanese.

It's a sad story to tell. But the post is more relaxing. I took the liberty to go on a hiking trip with a friend and her friends.  Our main focus was on Tinmum Hiking Path. We separated around noon at Yang-Ming Mt.. I enjoyed a carefree afternoon and wandered around Yang-Ming Mt. park a bit.

The architecture is located in the water park. It was built in 1908 to serve as the pump room. The bump room has retired from its responsibilities of providing water to the citizens, and becomes a museum for how our daily water is produced today.

The food is better than last year's, although the potion might not suffice for a table rounded by 10 hungry employees.

I have to say that the English translation is really hard to understand.

Although Christmas in Taiwan is normally so commercialized that it has lost its true meaning of sharing or being thankful for the greatness of the Christian God. Nevertheless, it's a great treat to people who love taking photos to wander around Shin-Yi District to catch the moments of brightness. 

Taipei Water Park is the nearest spot around National Taiwan University that provides some Christmas feelings.

Although Christmas is not an official holiday in Taiwan, one can still find beautiful lights and decoration at department stores and many other places. But the tricky question here is that when Taiwanese people import so many Western traditions, how many original customs still remain?

Fu Jen Catholic University was established 85 years ago in China. They re-establish their school in Taiwan in the 60s. Yesterday, they celebrate their establishment with a grand firework show, which was designed by the artist who designed the renown annual firework shows of Taipei 101 in Taiwan.

First photo taken during the firework.

Fu-Jou-Shan Park is a metro park near Fu-Yang Park. There are routes that connect the two parks. It provides good spot to look around this cold grey city full of houses, and no green.

It's amazing to see how many houses and skyscrapers are in Taipei City. You don't get this kind of view in Kaohsiung. At least, we can see some blue see in Kaohsiung.

Fuyang Eco Park is a small metro park in Taipei City. One can walk from there to FuJuSan Park. It's a luxury to have greens in this metropolis crammed with skyscrapers.

It is said one can find tree frogs in the park. Unfortunately, I didn't come across any.

Double-Ten Day is known as the day when Republic of China is established in China. Republic of China or the KMT (Chinese Nationalist Party) retreated to Taiwan, after People's Republic China or the communists takes control of Mainland China. Taiwan was not part of China when Republic of China is established in 1911, it was ruled by Japanese government at that time. 

Come to think about it, Double-Ten Day is never a day to celebrate since it does not stand for the day that Republic of Taiwan is established. 

Well...

He doesn't seem to be impressive at all.
