farewell, Taiwan….

We successfully wrapped up our journey in Taiwan. What a trip! What a group!

Safe travel to the next destinations and happy summer!

We will reconvene in Poughkeepsie!

NTU lecture and neighborhood walk

We visited the NTU campus in the morning. Professor Zhou gave us an introduction of the university and the department. Professor Huang presented her recent works on garden city and showcased three cases she was involved in (pictures). Then we toured their affiliated farm and several projects on campus.

With Siennah, we walked through the old city quarter of Taipei and witnessed the change of the city landscape. It was like going back to the old time by a time machine, unreal but unforgettable….

Our first day in Taiwan!

We arrived at Taoyuan airport at about 6:40am local time, an hour late than scheduled. Everyone was tired but in high spirit.

After a short rest, we drove to Yeliu Geological Park near Jilong city. The lunch was fresh seafood from nearby ocean (pictures…). Even more impressive was the geological formation shaped by million years of water and natural elements (pictures…).

We wrapped up the day with an early dinner at Din Tai Fung, a well-known Taiwanese restaurant. The dumplings were delicate in their making and delicious in its multiple flavors (pictures..)

But most people were just too tired…..
