三面環山，東面向太平洋的平地

因蘭陽溪沖稹而成平原 （蘭陽平原）

北區有頭城、礁溪，

中區羅東鎮為商業中心，

涵蓋周邊的五結、冬山等鄉鎮。

南區有蘇澳鎮、五結鄉、冬山鄉、

三星鄉，以及最南端的南澳鄉。

（ 南澳鄉多山，與花蓮相接 ）

西以雪山、大覇尖山

與台灣西部多地為鄰。

舊地重遊，

山川壯麗、靜謐如故。

傳統藝術園區的創新藝術作品、

莊嚴肅穆的寺廟、

溫暖熱情人們的互動，

還有幽谷中的繁花落葉 ⋯

我感覺遠離塵囂，

心靈飄向遙遠的沙丘。

 

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the Pacific Ocean to the east.

A plain formed by the rush of Lanyang Creek ( Lanyang Plain )

There are Toucheng and Jiaoxi

in the North District,

Luodong Township in central District,

is the commercial centre,

it covers the surrounding townships 

such as Wujie and Dongshan.

There are Su'ao Town, Wujie Township, Dongshan Township,

Samsung Township, 

and the southernmost Nan'ao Township.

（Nan'ao Township is mountainous and connected to Hualian)

Snow Mountain and Mountain Dabajisn 

at the western 

are adjacent to many places in western Taiwan.

Revisited the city,

the mountains and rivers are magnificent,

still as before.

Innovative works of art in the traditional 

art park,

the solemn temple,

warm and enthusiastic people's interaction,

and the flowers and fallen leaves in the valley...

I feel far away from the hustle and bustle,

my heart drifts to the distant sand dunes.

 

淡水老街 - Danshui Old Street

 

盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen Photography

淡水，位於台北盆地淡水河出口。

西元1858年開始通商，

是台灣北部最早開發的港口。

境內除淡水河口平原外，

多為大屯山陵地。

淡水泛指淡水河流域一帶（北台灣 ）。

漫步淡水街道，

西式、閩式、日式的老建築，

有說不完的陳年往事。

遊客可搭乘往八里、大稻埕間的渡輪

欣賞淡水河景。

中正路渡船碼頭附近到與中山路交會的老街

古董藝品店林立，

也是人群聚集的地方。

眺望一望無際的山水，

朵朵浪花不斷湧現，

也看到人們臉上的安寧與喜樂。

Danshui is  located at the exit of the 

Danshui river in the Taipei Basin.

Started trading in 1858.

It is the earliest developed port 

in northern Taiwan.

Except for the Danshui estuary plain in the territory,

most of them are the mausoleums of Datun Mountain.

Danshui generally refers to the area of the Danshui river basin,

( North Taiwan ).

Stroll along the Danshui street,

Western-style, Traditional architecture of South Fujian and Japanese-style old buildings,

there are endless old past events.

Tourists can take the ferry between Bali 

and Dadaocheng to enjoy the scenery of the Danshui River.

There are a line of antique shops in the old street near the ferry terminal of Zhongzheng Road and Zhongshan Road.

It is also a place where people gather.

Overlooking the endless mountains 

and river,

the waves keep surging,

I also see the peace and joy on people's faces.

農曆新年 - Lunar new year

盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen Photography 

巴黎共和廣埸周圍張燈結綵，

正在迎接農曆新年的來臨。

回想巴黎亞裔區每年都舉辦

新年花車巡遊、舞龍舞獅

熱鬧非凡 。

人人笑開懷。

The Place de la Republique is surrounded 

by lanterns and ribbons. 

As I recall,  the Asian District 

in Paris was held every year

Lunar New Year's float parade, dragon 

and lion dance.

It was very lively.

Everyone was so happy 

and smiling.
