Green Ark (綠葉方舟)

#2011-0509

Are you familiar with the story of Noah's Ark? For that special story, see Genesis 6:14-9:18.

And do you know what the Ark of God was? There are quite a few places in the Bible where you may find (and read about) the Covenant Box. For example, you may refer to Exodus 25:10-22, 37:1-9, Deuteronomy 10:1-5, and so on.

But this morning my wife and I took her sister and her mother (i.e. my mother-in-law) to a beautiful scenic spot in San-Yi, Miaoli County. The name of the place is Lu-Ye Fangzhou, or Green Ark in English. There are thousands of trees in the valley-shaped terrain. Surrounded by those green trees, the main buildings (used as restaurants) look like two huge boats, one of which (the older one) is mostly covered in green vines now. What a fantastic Green Ark!

We enjoyed the food supplied at Green Ark. What's more, we enjoyed the scenery over there. Since it is the season for the tung-oil trees to bloom, we saw lots and lots of white flowers on the trees and on the ground. And also we saw white flowers falling down like a shower of rain -- Even a slightest wind can cause many tung-oil flowers to fall off the trees!
