Yes, this road joins Pingtung and Taitung.
The mountains in Taiwan really are fantastic.
Too bad Shanghai doesn’t offer the same outdoor delights.

This is the one from Pingtung to Taitung, right? I lived in Taipei 1990-98 and often cycled around the island, training for triathlon or just messing around. Made it over this road a couple times enroute to Kenting. Most beautiful is the Huhuanshan then down through Talu gorge on the cross island or the suao – Hualian roads. Taiwan is awesome for cyclists (my bike has been in storage basically since coming to Shanghai

Lan Y / Orchid Island is the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited (1990) and I’ve longed to go back ever since (-: The local people, the smell, the winds, the colours, the boats and the peaceful quiet moments of true happiness……

The rice harvester here is made in Japan. It cost NTD2700000 (USD95000). I am not sure of the other details.

Comment on Shan Ding Elementary School sports day by Stephen

Paula,
Please feel free to use the photos and text for you class materials.
I suspect the Taiwanese sports day is similar to the Japanese sports day thanks to the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. Much of the school system ( indeed many of the civil systems ) still have a strong Japanese influence.

Hi, Im currently teaching English in four different elementary schools in Hiroshima, Japan. Im writing to ask if i can use some information and pictures you wrote about Taiwanese sports day as my open-class teaching materials for the inter-cultural awareness aspect of my demo lesson coming up in June. From your site, I was really surprised to realise how similiar taiwanese and japanese public educations are. My schools are all having their sports day in one or two weeks time and I think it will be interesting and rewarding for my japanese students to see wht elemtary school kids do in my lovely country, Taiwan!

Thanks ahead if my request is permitted. (dont worry, all your pictures and information will be properly cited or introduced during in presentation. )
