Things I Like about Nei-hu

April 11, 2008 airanese

People like beautiful scenery, some even drive for a long time to the scenic spots on holidays. However, we often ignore that the surrounds around us are also breathtaking.

Neihu is a suburb of Taipei, and I have lived here since I was born. Neihu was a simple area. When I was a child, my parents and I usually go biking on leisure time. But since many areas have been transformed into the industrial park, we seldom rode bikes to enjoy our spare time.

Furthermore, the population has increased a lot due to the establishment of industrial district. The traffic has also developed rapidly. Buses have become a very convenient transportation, and the MRT system will be finished in several years. The increasing of population makes Neihu crowded day by day.

In spite of these modern changes, there are still many advantages in Neihu which are different from downtown. There are two lakes here – “ Bi-hu “ and “ Da-hu “. In the park, there are many animals, like egrets, frogs , bugs and some colorful flowers. Many residents go there to take a walk and get some fresh air. Moreover, lots of scrappy lands are reserved and turned into parks.

What’s better, there are a lot of mountains here. Whether you arrive breathless at the summit or just go hiking for relaxing, it is really comfortable to breathe the fresh air in the mountains.

Neihu is a picturesque place, I am very lucky to live here. Next time, if you want to work off pressure, just go to Neihu to embrace nature and relieve stress.
