Seoul: The Deoksugung Palace

Midst in the city of Seoul is the Deoksugung Palace. I was lucky to be there early morning with almost no other tourists. Under the cold blue sky lies this gem with its beautifully restored buildings surrounded from the big city. This palace was in use until the begin of 20th century and some building shows a mix of western and traditional architectures. Also were some rooms fitted with…

New Chapter Starts: South Korea

Arriving at Incheon International Airport in South Korea i got almost overwhelmed by its futuristic design. I missed the express train to Seoul, so i got the chance for a coffee and stroll around the airport. A roughly hour of comfortable train ride brought me straight in the centre of the capital Seoul. Despite the long journey i couldn’t resist just having a short walk around the block to get a…

Taiwan: On The Top Of Taipei

Probably the most prominent landmark in the capital of Taiwan is the famous tower Taipei 101. On my last day in Taiwan the weather was just perfect to get to the top of this tower and have a last view over this interesting city and beautiful country. Ending the day with a visit on one of the nightly street markets.

Taiwan: At The Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall

Modern Taiwan was founded by the former president and revolutionary leader Chiang Kai-Shek, after Chinese civil war in 1949. It is only understandable that the people wanted to dedicate a special memorial place to him. So, the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall was build. This huge complex was build between 1976 and 1980. People gathering to hundreds inside the gigantic hall to watch the hourly…

Taiwan/Tamsui: Rainy Day With Friends

There was one more chance to meet my friends in Taiwan. Despite the rain we decided to go for a walk in the historical area of Tamsui. Among other historical buildings there was the massive Hobe Fort, Fort Santo Domingo and the former British Consulate Residency. And of course there was time for a coffee and having lunch together. Always a good time to chat and learn more about the life in…

Taiwan: The cherry blossoms of Fort Zeelandia

There’s an important historical place outside of Tainan, called Fort Zeelandia. It’s the place where Dutch people arrived and build their first trading outpost on Taiwan. Beside a museum and a tower with nice view, there’s also a beautiful garden with cherry trees. It’s just the right time of year to enjoy the cherry blossoms here.

Temple Of Confucius In Tainan/Taiwan

A worthy visit while in Tainan is certainly the Temple Of Confucius. It appeared beautiful to me in its simplicity and calmness. The imagination of a place to study and and have philosophical discussions is real to me. Luckily there wasn’t many people there, as i strolled trough the lush garden and enjoyed to roam trough the different halls.

Taiwan: Street Procession

There are still ongoing events for the Chinese New Year. So i bumped into a street procession and followed it for awhile. Gods and Goddesses were carried in ornate sedan chairs or pulled in decorative carriages. The people were in festive mood, played drums and instruments and cheered up the spectator and i think the gods and goddesses too.

Taiwan: Hualien (#throwback)

The news just came in: a strong earthquake on the east coast of Taiwan! I was shocked when i learned it happened at the city and region of Hualien. It was my base for a trip into the Taroko Gorge only a few weeks ago. Actually i’ve hardly seen anything from the city. A walk along the coast before a storm came in and some snapshots from the still ongoing lantern festival. The Chinese year of…

Taiwan: Burning Money In The Temple

Maybe you noticed these stacks of yellow papers in my prior posts. Well, these are ‘paper money’ what get burned for the ancestors and family members who passed away, to ensure they have the financial fundings for a comfortable afterlife. While i visited the City Temple in Tainan, i found myself in the backyard in a nice garden. I noticed a huge chimney. Getting closer to inspect it, i became a…

Taiwan: People Of Tainan

Roaming through the streets of Tainan many people gave me a smile or a wink or even posing in front of my camera. So did the lady with helmet, who had seen me with camera and jumped literally towards me. The three guys in bicycle training who winked me and posed shy but proud. Two young ladies nicely dressed up with amazing, traditional hairstyle posed happily on the street. Not to forget the…

Taiwan: Arriving In Tainan

It was late afternoon when i arrived Tainan, in southern Taiwan. But it’s never too late to go out for a stroll in the neighborhood. Much to see explore, as i found out soon. Around and inside the temples were still lots of lanterns, since the final festivities about Chinese New Year weren’t over yet. In one of the temple two nice, young ladies explaining me, how they interact with their gods…
