It’s a nice place to study and live. It is nearby the “Silicon Valley” of Taiwan, founded about one quarter century ago. It shares the same name and has something to do with the “Tsinghua University” in Peking/Beijing.

The Shinkansen is amazing, but the regular trains are much more interesting and telling for those who want to see the ordinary life of common people. Kyoto’s bus system is efficient, but complex and slow. Perhaps the best way to travel Kyoto is cycling and on foot.

I have visited Horyuji (Dharma Flourishing Temple) and Todaiji (East Great Temple) recently. Next time I would like to visit Asuka in Nara.

The main gate, built in 1628 and about 14-16 meter high?, is aged and magnificent. The Hojo garden (the abbot’s quarters) is quiet, well-designed, and with a dark garden, old paintings, and an enlightening water fall. Rinzai school of Japanese Zen Buddhism.

There are more and more Chinese people living in greater Vancouver.

Cambridge MA and Boston are both interesting cities to explore.

A beautiful, town confederated city in the Northwest.

I visited the house that my late father was born, which resides in the countryside (54, Maqiao or Horse Bridge village) of Bolin town, YongXing county, Chenzhou city, was built more than 70 years ago.

An ever-changing city in the northern end of this medium large size island (Taiwan) in the Western Pacific, somewhere between Japan, Korea, Okinawa, and Philippine, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore.
