My Favorite City in Japan – Kyoto

      Kyoto is the most historical place in Japan. This city contains lots of history and classical style and special culture that it is really different from other city in Japan. I have never been there before, but I am always dreaming about having long vocation to experience the life in Kyoto. I would like to be a backpacker when I go there, and freely and randomly do and travel around. Also, I will choose to live in the youth hotel that I can make lots of foreign friends.

      First, I want to go to 金閣寺 in the northwest side of Kyoto. It is a really special temple covered by gold, and the reflection on the lake is the most stunning reason why I want to go there first. The scenery combines dignity and soft feeling together, and makes me feeling respect but also calm. I think this is a good place to create poetry or depict paint. I would like to sit aside and enjoy this beautiful view and relax.

      Next, I would like to introduce 伏見稻荷神社, this temple is one of the most historical temple. This temple was build on the top of the mountain, and the way to the temple have thousands of vermilion torii gates. The whole road was full of misery but stunning beautiful site. And I would like to wear traditional Japanese clothes when I go there. I think it would be the best place to experience the Japanese culture.

      There are also lots of spots waiting for me to explore. I really like Japanese culture. One day, I will stay in Kyoto and make my road-trip dream come true.

Road Trip

      As a saying goes, go forward to the things you want to do when you are young. To me, Taiwan’s road trip is on my top bucket list. I will start from my hometown, Taipei, and surround Taiwan. Taiwan is a great place for a ride, so I will go on my road trip by bike. Although it could be tough for me, I will try my best to finish this challenge. This road trip may take one month to finish because I want to have a deep travel in Taiwan. Every city I go through I will stay there for couple of days to go to the famous hot spots. To be a Taiwanese, we have to know Taiwan and love Taiwan. I am really anticipated to go on this road trip in my college year.
