While in Taichung, I went to visit a little local park they simply call “Folk park”. It’s an old Taiwanese residence, I think, a bit like Lin Family House up in Taipei, featuring…
Chinese style garden and ponds…
Chinese style architecture restaurant, temple and shopping center …
A folk museum…
and a huge Chinese style living accommodation…
Outside, in the lovely gardens, there was a very traditional Taiwanese singer who was recording his video. It was fun to watch, and one member of his team came by and chitchatted with me, telling me some “interesting” gossip regarding this singer’s life. Can anybody help me with his name?
A really nice place to visit.

The folk park is GORGEOUS! I imagine there are many little pockets of paradise in Taiwan like that park. I also really loved that town center photo.

I guess that the Taiwanese singer in the video is “阿吉仔.”
