You can find the most strange places in this country

One of my favourite activities in Taiwan is to go 兜風 (doufeng), 兜風 means “to catch the wind” or in clear English,  to wander around. The basic idea is that I get on my scooter and drive around more or less randomly and see if I can find something interesting. It turns out that finding interesting places in this country is rather easy. Following are a few of the ones in Hsinchu:

P1050642

A piece of unused road that ends in nothing

P1050649

A bike path under the freeway

P1050651

They like to make little camps under the highway too

P1050658

Low bridges here

P1050659

They don’t like people steeling their chairs

P1050682

Random door

P1050686

Abandoned park

P1050707

Giants stairs, in the middle of the river

P1050744

A random path under the expressway

P1050746

On this hidden away baseball field…

P1050748

..I found this odd  building…

P1050751

…that looks like this on the inside

P1050759 

This beautiful park is in the middle of nowhere

P1050760

But there are holes in the water 

P1050761

Some more unused road, nice for driving

P1050765

Toilet seats in a tree…

P1050767

..and a great big grave in the woods

 P1050768

We found a nice ledge to climb up on

 P1050884

I decided to kick down the wall of this abandoned house

As you can see there are many strange and interesting places to be discovered, however, you do find lots of not so interesting places on the way there.
