Hills & bicycle, 3+Hsinchu Harbour and Scenic Coastal Road
Saturday, I continued my discovering biking possibilities around Hsinchu. After I found the Green Grass Lake, I was curious if I could find the other way there. Area behind seemed to be hidden background of hypertech urban Hsinchu Science Park. I was right.
I think I posted this one already in 2005, but it is so funny I could not resist, Fantasy World of Successful Group, it is amazing, when someone here used spell checker for sure, he did not used her/his brain to think if this is really a good thing to write:
I was driving through the northern part of the Science Park, which encompasses also the Jin Shan temple, which is 150 years old, and now I visited for the first time. I think I will come to see it again, after I read a bit about the place. In internet I found interesting text here and I like how these people try to make something even from the industrial ugliness. Here are some pics of Jushan temple.
For Darac, this is how they tile the roof here
Stone carvings at the entrance are very intricate :
Further ride reminded me I am in XXI, not XIX ct.
I went further, and after some wandering (try to drive in not the easiest landscape and with manymany not cearly marked roads, and when they are marked, it is in Chinese), I found my way towards Baoshan. If not ugly industrial buildings, then some church which took the competition seriously.
I mean, WF idiot can build smthing like this???
And it is on a small mountain stream....enjoy, beauty Made in Taiwan! Sometimes I am happy Croatia is not an European industrial Tiger!
And just few hundred meters away is-nature! Baoshan is village in the tops of the hills, so really, just a short ride out of these ugly ugly ugly buildings is... Prepare your mind for a jump:
Back to Hsinchu, after few kilometers of ride along the Green Grass Lake, after I found a way.
Two weeks ago I saw this one and now came back to make a pic, funny construction on the outskirts of Hsinchu.
Next day, sunny and warm Sunday convinced us maybe it would not be bad idea to take a (motorcycle) ride to Hsinchu Harbour. I wanted to see the sea. Hsinchu is 'coastal city' but you do not see the sea much. And when I say warm I mean 27, 28 cels on the road! Yes, winter :-D
We took 8km ride to the Harbour. There, typical weekend activities:
Always strong wind here, lots of kites:
This one was original, a "diver" hunted by a "shark":
It is Taiwan, so nearby is fish market atop which are restaurants. Sense of life is food. Eating. Should be Taiwan anthem. Note how big are these fish!
Local ice-cream man, candized pistacchio scrapped into icecream, all in chinese pancake. Funny but good! I never saw anything similar. Traditional ice-cream man, Mala immediately wanted one, memories of childhood!
Oh yes, we were in a harbour, yes:
With fishermen. Pretty different from what I am used to see.
I told you Taiwanese try to make 'something' of all industrial shit they have, yes? See this. Ideal leisure place, no?
No, don't panic, it is not atomic power plant (as in Kending, where it is just behind the beach), noo, it is...guess what? Recycling waste burning plant. Sure enough they made 'enviromental exhibition' of it! There is always some small smoke outgoing there, but almost invisible, I go and believe it is as green as possible. I believe, I believe...
Few kilometers south, there is some real sea coast:
It is the beginning of so called Hsinchu 17km Scenic Coastal Area, which I extensively tried in 2005 by bicycle.
I even put my finger into water today! Chinese Sea, Taiwan Strait, notified for historical records. Miki was there.
Water was some 17 cels or so, if it would not be so shallow and dirty, it would be possible to swim. But this is not real sea, but artificial bay, between the garbage dumping place, and nearby the "cosy" waste 'cramatorium' you just saw, so thank you very much for swimming, when I write this my finger is still OK, I hope this action was not too much for it's health. O tempora, o mores, when it is possible to have such coastline:
Sure, these concrete things are protection against desant vehicles, if Mainland Chinese decide to come to eat all the shrimps and crabs in Taiwan. Like Germans in WWI&II wanted to eat all the Sacher cakes in the world, but really all, all, all of them.
