Reflection from Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall

Reflection of the Memorial Hall
I've been in Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall several times, and I don't even know it has a Chinese Garden with man-made pond. I was with my friend when she told me to go and take a rest in a garden. 

A Gazebo and foot bridge reflection.

Looking at top of the Memorial Symbol in Peace Park

Remembering the incident that happened on February 28, 1947

From dictatorship to democracy

That's why February 28 is a holiday in Taiwan

Let's walk in this footsteps bridge and see

A pouring water

What's Going On Lately?

I'm having a cappuccino in a paper cup as usual in Chinese Class. We're having summer and winter in a spring, that's why a lot of people here are getting sick.



I'm feeling alright, a bit excited for the upcoming visit of hubby here next week. I have to lessen my on-line blogging for a while, at the same time it's my finals in Chinese Class.


On my mind is our upcoming trip to the famous Taroko Gorge in the middle of Taiwan. I booked our tickets on-line and haven't received the voucher yet. I hope the travel agent wouldn't cancel it. (Maybe they can't have their quota).




"I've lived to bury my desires,

And see my dreams corrode with rust;

Now all that's left are fruitless fires

That burn my empty heart to dust."

A Glimpse of 228 Peace Park (2)

Well, here are more scenes that can be seen in 228 Peace Park
The building at the back is the National Taiwan Museum.

The gazebos I've shown yesterday in a different angle.


The pagoda is right in the middle of the pond/lake.


There's also a small lake with foot bridge and fountain.

Part 3 will be Memorial Museum and Sculpture

A Glimpse of 228 Peace Park (1)

I had an appointment at the hospital last week and I came there a bit early so I decided to capture this park. At the back of the OPT Department is the 228 (February 28) Peace Park. The park is just right NTU Hospital MRT Station. Here's a glimpse...


There are four Chinese Gazebos and in the middle is the Pagoda. Behind these Chinese architecture is the National Taiwan University Hospital Out Patient Department.  


There are also  a lot of squirrels and doves. They are not afraid of people, actually, they come nearer like looking for food.  Here's one I captured eating red tomato.
