an afternoon in Danshui


A beautiful mountain range that I can see from where I live



A monument to missionary George Leslie Mackay, who arrived in Taiwan in 1871


An interesting take on Starbuck's!


And on a boardwalk! Perfect!





A Dutch fort from the 1600's



Danshui River




A golden temple in the mountains

Oooh these are gorgeous pictures Elly! What fun history and sights. I especially like the Starbuck's....which isn't really history OR sights....but nonetheless :) The flower picture was great! I'm glad you get to enjoy the sights and be places you are new to, you'll be an expert on Taiwan by the time you're done!
