Every city has its own charm but also has its own special set of problems that need to be solved.

Citizens’ Freedom -impressed with the open visiting policy for the Taipei city government building located in the city center: I passed by a couple of times and did not see people in and out. But this week, I saw quite a few tourists gathering in front of the building. In fact, it’s open to the public, welcoming both residents and tourists to visit its museum.
On the right side of the building, there are Taipei Discovery” exhibitions to introduce the history and different parts of Taipei with architectural models, photos, paintings, and videos. There are short movies introducing Taipei in a 3D theater at different time slots daily. Also, there is a floral decoration art exhibition on the second floor. I visited both sessions and the overall experience was educational.
If you take the elevator up on the left side of the building, some city government administration department offices provide services to the residents of Taipei. The building is quiet and orderly managed. Taiwanese should appreciate such transparency, residents’ freedom, and customer-centricity.
The artists' freedom: The artists here performed their music in the street and other public locations. They exhibit their artworks to express themselves in the galleries. They have the freedom to convey their thoughts creatively and share their viewpoints of the world frankly.
The scientist’s freedom: The research institutes open their gate for people to visit them, and encourage critical thinking to challenge existing theories and solutions. Science museums educate all ages to explore scientific knowledge, discover patterns, and advocate scientific disciplines in shaping modern societies.
The religious people’s freedom: Temples and churches coexist all over paces. When I sat down to have breakfast in the restaurant; the group of people were studying religions volunteeringly. There are many parks and roads named with religious meanings that focus on virtue and morality across different districts of the city.
Professional freedom: People in different professions demonstrate professional enthusiasm, articulate their thoughts, and share their knowledge open-mindedly. Are all genders, ages, and races satisfied with equal opportunities, what are critical, deeper problems that need to be solved right away?
As a tourist, I like the locals’ friendly attitude and good hospitality management techniques. But in many museums and parks, nonresidents have to pay much higher prices; should we complain about such unequal treatment?
Every city has its own charm but also has its own special set of problems that need to be solved. Taipei has the right dose of freedom. Nothing is extreme. Advocate freedom, but the law needs to be enforced to keep people free without falling down to advance humanity ultimately.
