Finally! After three months working, finally I can spend some time taking a small trip and updating this column! Hahaha!
Well, this time I went to Fushan Botanical Garden in Yilan with my family. We were quite lucky because application was required one month earlier if anyone wanna visit it. My mom started booking it like two months earlier!
Fushan Botanical Garden was totally different from the one in Taipei! Taipei Botanical Garden is more like a park, which is famous for the lotus there, than a botanical garden. Taking a walk in Fushan Botanical Garden was like wandering in the woods─trees growing prosperously, various kinds of plants unknown to me being restored everywhere, butterflies, frogs, and beeees!
Frogs near the lake, which were quite cute I think.
Bees were flying around wherever you go! I thought it was not because they were bees that I hated them but because of their murmurs humming near my ears endlessly! Ooooooo!
That day was a sunny day, but soooooon rained! Oh my! My brand new white shoes! Although it stopped later, but I was wearing a pair of gray shoes afterwards…
And the most unforgettable thing was that my cousin was bit by a leech when she walked down the footpath. That thing was really clinging on her ankle and her blood run down a little bit when my mom got rid of it! Wow! That was new to me! I had never, ever, seen this kind of thing before! Only in text books (“city slicker” I would say hahaha)!
Like Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area, here in this garden trees which were blown in Typhoons were retained, which, the nature should be like. The trees, however, being blown down, were covered by new grass again as the time gone by and perhaps one day the dead trunk will be hidden, being replaced by thriving green leaves and live again.
Fushan Botanical Garden was not only abundant with restoring plants and growing trees, but also abundant with animals. According to the guide there, there should be Formosan barking deer in the garden, but I was not that lucky to see them somewhere outside Taipei Zoo. There was one monkey in fact, when we were about to leave, passing by roadside!
Anyway, I kind of loved this place because there were so many trees there, feeling healthy about it (no matter if it really was or not!), not so hot, not so cool, which was just fine. Hope this good mood will last for a while! Hahaha!
