I took the train around 3 hours from Taipei to Sanyi, the
small town located in Northern Taiwan at Miaoli County. I can see the scenery
of mountain, canal, agriculture and simply lifestyle of people there.
The Railway
The Taiwan Railway’s Old Mountain Line which was constructed since 1908 with Japanese style. Nowadays, it was not in operation but the Miaoli County Government designated it to offer visitors as a county-level historic site and developed this track as a local industry. There is magnificent scenery of mountains and forests, enriched cultural tribes with long history.
Wood Sculpture
When I arrived, what I can notice about Sanyi is there are
many shops selling wood stuff. Actually, Sanyi is well known internationally. This
place is annually held International Woodcarving Art Festival which is one of
Taiwan's most important cultural events and highlighting works of masters from
around the world.
Cycling Highway
If you love cycling, this town is really suitable for you.
It’s a good idea to use a cycling way for sightseeing around the town which
follows the energy conservation. Moreover, visitors can see the wonderful scenery
of the flowering fields, leisure farms, fishing ports or special experiences through
the high way.
Farming Village
During the way within Sanyi, I noticed about Sanyi’s agricultural along with the road, in the people house area even just small, but I love that. There are many agricultural farms which offered visitors to visit and experience countryside life style.
Delicacies
Sanyi has a very famous traditional Hakka cuisine, oily,
savory, and salty which you can easily find it in the town with reasonable
price. Furthermore, you can find variety kinds of the local food which are very
attractive as well. I highly recommend trying local food in Sanyi and you will
love.
