台東旅遊 第三天 (C)
A Trip to Taitung
Day Three (C)

After spending several hours at the National Museum of Prehistory, Jean and I headed to Taitung Seashore Park, on the western shore of the Pacific Ocean. We took a leisurely walk across the expansive grassy grounds before climbing the Taitung International Landmark (台東國際地標).

Standing on the bridge-like Landmark, we could easily locate and point toward Lanyu (Orchid Island), Lüdao (Green Island), and other offshore islands by following the arrows marked on the bridge floor.

Before long, we headed in another direction and entered Taitung Forest Park, which is adjacent to Seashore Park. To our surprise, we reached a beautiful lake called Pipa Lake (琵琶湖) in just a few minutes.

At the very first sight of the lake, a strange feeling suddenly came over me—something we might call déjà vu or, in Chinese, 「似曾相識的感覺」. I tried hard to remember when, and with whom, I had visited this place before. Had I really been here? And if so, when? Those questions lingered in my mind as I stood quietly by the lake.

I asked Jean whether we had visited the lake before. She said she couldn't remember. Fortunately, thanks to my previous blog posts, I finally discovered that we had indeed come here about fifteen years earlier. Just look at the final photo below—an old picture taken on a rainy day when Jean and I visited this very place: Pipa Lake (琵琶湖).

台東旅遊 第三天 (B)
A Trip to Taitung
Day Three (B)

After watching the colorful hot air balloons rise over Luye Highland, we returned to our guesthouse for a short rest. Then, at around 10:30 a.m., we headed to the National Museum of Prehistory in Taitung City.

We spent several hours exploring the museum, viewing its wide variety of photographs, artifacts, sculptures, charts, and informative short films displayed throughout the exhibition halls. There was far more information than we could absorb in a single visit. Even so, the exhibits and the stories behind them were both fascinating and deeply moving.

We wished we could have learned even more from this remarkable museum, but Ars longa, vita brevis—art is long, life is short. With only a limited amount of time, how could we possibly absorb so much?

Instead, let me simply share some of the photos I took during our visit to the National Museum of Prehistory (Taiwan).
