The Amazing Tian Hou Gong Mazu Temple in Lugang, Taiwan
Aerial Views Taiwan / Xingtian Temple / Peitou / 2016.09.24
Aerial views of Xingtian Temple, Beitou Branch. Shot with a DJI Phantom 2, today, September 24, 2016.
The view is taken from the north of Taiwan, north of Taipei, and is looking directly south. The sprawling complex with powder blue roofs beyond the temple is the main maintenance yard and garages for the Taipei MRT train system.
Today was the first time I visited this temple even though I lived near it for years. The temple and its grounds are exceedingly tidy and trim. Like the Xingtian Temple in Taipei it is unique in that there are no offering tables nor is incense burnt. Spartan.
The grounds are very green and beautiful. The surrounding gardens are meticulously maintained. From the rear of the temple there's a trail head that leads into the woods above.
This temple is the Beitou branch of the widely visited Xingtian Temple on Minquan East Road in Taipei, yet it in fact pre-dates the main temple. The principle deity here is Guansheng Dijun. The Beitou Branch is commonly known as Zhongyi Temple due to its proximity to the former Zhongyi Railway Station and Zhongyi MRT Station today.
This grand temple covers an area of about 8.0 hectares. The facilities include a library, lushly planted grounds, trails, landscaped courtyards, rest pavilions, a parking lot and public restrooms. The Zhongyi Trail head is also located here for visitors wishing to explore the scenic natural surroundings.

Travel Devoted - Daoist Celebration - Dounan, Taiwan
On our bike ride to Hua Shan we passed through Dounan and came upon this celebration. We are never quite sure what is going on, but it is fun to watch, and very, very noisy.
The Daoist (Taoist) religion seems to really like to celebrate! They love their fireworks too!

Aerial Views of Tianmu, Taipei, Taiwan / August 5, 2017
A time-lapse of a 15 minute flight. I've had this Phantom 2 Vision + for about 2 years now. Everything works like new. I've had over 260 flights and no mishaps. The only problem has been batteries slowly dying. The original battery and the extra one that came with it are no longer usable. They still hold a charge but it seems the on-board circuitry is messed up. I've bought 3 replacement batteries and they're all good. This flight was mostly to keep in practice and to keep everything in use. This particular spot in the neighbor is extremely convenient and safe to fly in.
Although I have posted aerial videos of this same place many times, each time there's something different and besides instead of perhaps deleting or archiving the data why not post it to YouTube.
Further notes: The Phantom 2 records at 1080p 30 fps. To speed up the footage I pre-processed with Virtualdub. I changed the framerate to 150 per second, then the fps to 30. 15 minutes compressed to 3. Still smooth enough.
Final output done with Vegas 10.

Footage：Police, goddess Mazu worshippers clash in Taiwan
Worshippers following a statue of the Chinese goddess Mazu in Taiwan clashed with police on Sunday. It happened when the police built a wall with their own bodies to forbid the crowd of worshippers – who queued overnight – from mobilizing, in Zhanghua county. The police said they were concerned by possible safety problems with the rowdy crowd, such as a potential stampede. The police and the worshippers eventually reached a peaceful solution.

Taiwan Train Journeys Ep1 Part 1 - Yuanlin City, Changhua County.
On the 3rd December 2017 I decide to jump on to the train to head south, my goal was to visit three cities in three different counties, so my first city was Yuanlin City in Changhua county where I visited a taouism temple, as well as followed an old sugar rail line track where I got to see the old South Yuanlin station, which is slowly rotting away over time.

Harbor Life – Su’ao and Nanfang’ao
The ocean-port town of Su’ao is a short drive south from the NCFTA along Provincial Highway 2, the coastal highway. On the way you reach the mountains that come down to the sea and you’ll pass through a highway tunnel that pierces a spur just before entering the town.
The spur juts right out into the Pacific. A bit further south is another arm extending off the coast; its tip, long ago a hilly island, is now connected to the mainland by a low-hill gravel-and-sand isthmus created by the strong coastal currents. Between these arms are deep waters, and three ports: Beigang’ao (“North Side Port”), Su’ao, and Nanfang’ao (“South Side Port”).
Note: Readers will notice that many of this article’s place names end in “ao/澳.” This character means “deep waters – a place where seagoing vessels can moor,” and is used for locations with natural deep-water harbors where ports have been developed.
The Qixingling Trail takes you up on top of the northern spur. Find the trailhead right beside the south entrance to Su’ao Cold Spring Park, a key local attraction. “Qixingling” means “Seven Stars Peak”; the trail is 4,750 meters long, with a maximum elevation of 270 meters. The highest and most photo-worthy harbor/ocean/mountain panorama awaits at lookout No. 6, reached from the trailhead in a steep, steady 25 minutes, beauteous butterflies entertaining you all the way. If time allows, continue at least ten minutes further and you are reward with eagle-vantage photo ops north over the Yilan Plain, central mountains, and iconic Guishan (“Turtle”) Island in the far distance.
Nanfang’ao has three side-by-side narrow harbors, all dedicated to fishing craft. At the foot of the middle harbor is exuberantly ornate Nantian Temple, dedicated to Mazu, Goddess of the Sea. Construction was started in 1946 after, locals believed, the goddess saved them from disaster. On the south side of this harbor’s mouth is the raucous Nanfang’ao fish market, where boats constantly pull up to unload catch for sale at a dense array of stands, creating more vivid photo opps.
Halfway down the harbor’s north side (No. 81, Yugang Rd.) is the Sangang Iron Factory Museum. The factory, set up here in 1962 and closed in 2004, was dedicated to fishing-boat repair and maintenance. The museum, stuffed to the gunwales with now-antique machinery, period photos, and other fishing industry-theme treasure, is run by the son of the key factory founder.
Other Nanfang’ao spots of interest include Neipi Beach, the pleasant long and arcing sand/gravel beach on the outside of the earlier-described isthmus (dotted with attractive cafés and eateries), Doufu Cape, a spot popular with snorkelers on the outside of the “former island” at the end of the isthmus, so named because its rock resembles soybean curd, and Zhu Dayu Culture Museum, established by the local fishermen’s association to showcase Nanfang’ao seafood products (located by Nanfang’ao Bridge beside the northernmost harbor).
Photo Tip: This region’s most popular photo-taking spot is almost surely the Nanfang’ao Observation Deck, perched cliffside at the 108km mark of Su-Hua Highway. Directly above the Nanfang’ao harbors, your sunrise shots are guaranteed terrific, as are your evening shots, when the harbor-area lights come on and dynamic-design Nanfang’ao Bridge is bathed in changing pastels.
