[Postcards] The Eye of Taichung

This time I'm going to introduce you these four postcards. Do you notice that there is an eye in this picture?

The Eye of Taichung

These four are designed by my friend, who is an art major in NTNU. She is really talented, isn't she?

Taichung, in the central of Taiwan, is my hometown. I lived there before I go to Taipei for university. As you know, Taipei is the capital of Taiwan. Taipei is not far away from Taichung. It only takes 1 hour if you take Taiwan High Speed Rail(but it's expensive.) Ya, time is money,though.

臺中(Taichung) is the blue area in this map.
Although these postcards are called The Eye of Taichung, they  actually involve Nantou, which is the only county that is not near  the sea in Taiwan.  Don't ask me why they are named like that.  Only my friend knows. XD

This place is definitely worthy of visiting. Oh, but I haven't visited there yet. What a shame!!!

Lavender Cottage

Lavender Cottage has several branches in Taiwan but the original one is in Xinshe, Taichung.
If you are interested in this place, here is the website of Lavender Cottage.

My friend form junior high sent the cute bear postcard to me four years ago.

This postcard was from Lavender Cottage in Mingde, Miaoli. I miss my lovely friend so much. <3 I haven't seen her for several months. Every time I see this postcard and her handwriting, I just can't help recalling the wonderful time we had in our junior high school when we planed to explore every place in Taiwan. God, that was long time ago!!

These two mailboxes are so cute! The left one....hmm....maybe is used to send a mail to your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend. Obviously, the right one  is for family. I took these two photos in Jiufen, Taipei.

Luce Memorial Chapel

Luce Memorial Chapel is one of the most famous spots in Taichung. Haha, this place is really near where I live. It only takes me 15 minutes to walk there from my house.

The chapel is located in Donghai University.
I remember that I loved to play with my younger sister and younger brother on the field in summer. We played Frisbee and climbed the tree. Well, my childhood memory. :)

Sun Moon Lake

As you can see the map up there, Sun Moon Lake is situated in Nantou. The ropeway started to work in 2009. It can take you from Sun Moon Lake to Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village(a theme park)
If you are a big fan of One Piece, then you cannot miss this. http://www.nine.com.tw/ONEPIECEII/story.htm
