Is it fun in Jinshan?
It is so much fun to stroll Jinshan Old Street and explore its hot springs and other landmarks! I live in Tamsui, just a few minutes away from this place and yet I feel like I have so much to learn about Jinshan. I am drooling at its variety of delicacies and the most unforgettable experience was seeing an apple still attached on its branch! How often can you see apples like that aye?
From its name Jin or Gold, this place is most definitely precious to the people in Taiwan. There is so much to discover and know about the history and how people evolved in 300 years! I really want to know too!
