Haha, not possible from here—but it was Canon!

Should I visit both the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lingering Garden, or is it better to pick just one?

Oh, that's right. The area near the city hall definitely feels more modern, with lots of tall buildings.

I had it too!

Exactly I couldn't agree more.

There are earthquakes. Don't come.

That's a good idea.

Wutong Mountain isn't really worth it. It's a tough climb, mostly just for hiking, and the views are just average.

Akanala.

Hot. Extremely hot.

Is that how it is? I've already given up on this place.

The one I'm staying at is 250 a night.

And the parking fees are so expensive too; it feels like there's no daily cap.

Well, if you're comparing it to Beijing, then yeah, that makes sense. Beijing is pretty boring, after all.

Hangzhou and Kyoto are actually quite similar. Both claim to be ancient capitals, but neither truly has that ancient capital vibe. Both city centers feature moderately tall buildings, and their main scenic areas are nestled in the mountains. The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is strikingly similar to the Yunqi Bamboo Path, and Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka really remind me of the Drum Tower area in Hangzhou.

Taiwan is genuinely very safe. I once left my MacBook Pro at the airport, and a kind person handed it into the nearby police station. I went to pick it up the next day.

Usually, the truly wealthy are more understated, while those who are poorer tend to flaunt their wealth.

Uh, where in Taiwan did you take these photos? They look a bit strange.

Ah, let me tell you guys, this place is really not that big!

• Honestly, when you look at it from one end of the area, you can see it all in a single glance—it’s just a small patch.
• If you came to shoot impressive scenes or large-scale productions, you might feel a bit disappointed as there aren’t many suitable spots for good shots.
• I have the feeling that it was quite exaggerated and promoted on social media, especially apps like Xiaohongshu, which is popular in China for sharing lifestyle tips and travel experiences.
  • Lots of people (including me!) came after seeing those beautiful edited pictures and highly-applauded posts online.
  • But when reaching the place ourselves, we find that it’s really just that small.
• Travel Tip/Scam Avoidance Guide:
  • Lower Expectations: If you were expecting a large tourist attraction where you could spend half a day exploring, this spot might come up short. It’s really quite miniature.
  • Mind the Filter of Influencers: Before arriving here, it’s best to browse through real reviews and un-Photoshopped pictures from different sources. Images online can sometimes be excessively beautified, which can lead to disparities between real experiences and what people expect based on those images.

Excuse me, do you need to make a reservation nowadays if you're driving there yourself?
