New Taipei; Old Taipei

There is -old and new, urban & rural; mixing over; blending in; spinning around; woven into a multitude of -Taipei landscapes, flavorably.

Taipei's morning is-

calm and quiet;

the mother river of -

danshui flows-

through the city, freely;

the mountain peaks watch over -

the metropolitan areas,

affectionately…



Taipei started -

waking up,

blinking eyes with-

sun rising;

drizzling rain;

tropical wind, flavorably....

skyscrapers are -

stretching up;

the new Taipei is emerging;

the narrow streets were -

overloaded,

is the old Taipei part of reality?


Pass through-

Taipei’s Freedom Square;

appreciate the vitality of -

museums, galleries;

this urban city is -

broad and narrow;

bright and dim;

global and local;

loose and tight;

ancient & contemporary;

fun and serious,

friendly & restrict;

blur the boundaries of-

here & there,

us & them, anthropologically..

New Taipei,

Old Taipei,

current generations follow up-

ancestors' footsteps;

carry on -

ancient culture heritage, responsibly;

wise abstract quintessential from-

the old to-

generate fresh knowledge

reimagine-

the modern society, progressively…


Taipei’s night is -

cool with the breeze;

shining with the light,

present its varieties;

demonstrate its taste;

the tale of stories,

happen at -

the top of-

the hills;

corner of streets,

all the time.


There is -

old and new,

urban & rural;

mixing over;

blending in;

spinning around;

woven into -

a multitude of -

Taipei landscapes, colorfully.

Are you able to -

take the rhythms of -

the city,

explore unknowns;

can you sense -

meaningful symbols;

uncover shadows of light;

underneath?


Old Taipei,

new Taipei,

Taipei will continue to

rejuvenate fresh energy

reinvent itself,

transcendentially.
