"Kotei Kawahama Park"
Spring is the season when flowers bloom.
The purple flower field is in full bloom until mid-March at "Koutei Kawahama Park", which is about a 10-15 minute walk from MRT Gongguan Station. It's hard to compare with the purple lavender field that spreads all over the hill like Furano in Hokkaido, but now that you can't travel abroad due to the influence of the new coronavirus, there are places in Taiwan where you can experience this kind of pseudo-departure feeling. It's a popular trend.

On Monday, March 8th, a two-night, three-day tour was held.
On the first day of the same tour as last week, I enjoyed sightseeing in Sedona and watching the sunset at the Grand Canyon.
The temperature has risen for the past few days and it has been quite warm and cheerful during the day, but it seems that cold waves are coming in again, and snow forecasts have been issued for four consecutive days from tomorrow.
The Grand Canyon is over 2,000 meters above sea level and it is not uncommon for it to snow in March.
I used to be hit by snow during Golden Week.
Originally, there is a big difference in temperature during the day, so if you stay in the Grand Canyon, you will need to take measures against the cold throughout the year, so be sure to check the temperature before you go out!
I will post a photo of the Grand Canyon from my guide this time as well.

[Empire State Building, 90 years old this year! ]
The Empire State Building is one of New York's leading buildings and a standard tourist attraction. The name of the building, the Empire State, is also another name for New York State (Empire State), and it can be said that it is a building that truly symbolizes New York.
This Empire State Building is celebrating its 90th birthday this year. It was completed on May 1, 1931. Despite the Great Depression in 1929, it is still reported as a surprising fact that the construction was completed in 1 year and 45 days and the 102-story building was completed (about 400 m).
The building that was built with much effort was not filled with tenants after that, and it was also called Empty Building (empty building) ironically.
The observation decks on the 86th and 102nd floors are popular with tourists. When it's crowded, you can line up for three hours before you reach the observatory. The view from the observatory is exceptional. When the visibility is good, you can see up to about 100km away.
As long as the Empire State Building seen from the outside is beautiful. Not only in Manhattan, but also in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Empire State Building on the other side of the neighboring state of New Jersey.
The Empire State Building is lit up in different colors for events and holidays (usually white lights).
You can check the color of the light up on the official website (↓).

The business hours of the observatory within the year from March 1, 2021 are as follows.
March 1-13: 12PM-9PM

I think there are many people who mention diving for the purpose of traveling to Saipan and Rota.
The Mariana Sea, which boasts the highest degree of transparency, still retains its charm and is waiting for the day when divers will come to the island again.
Meanwhile, the annual diving popularity ranking "Marine Diving Award" was announced on March 5th, and Mariana won the top prizes in multiple categories this year as well. Congratulations to all the winners! We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the readers who loved Mariana and supported the site by voting, and the Mariana Tourism Board!

"Houtong"
"Cat Village" Houtong on the outskirts of Taipei
As soon as you get off the train, the cat will welcome you with a sign and poster of the cat.
Unfortunately it was raining on that day and the cats were taking shelter from the rain.
There are several cafes in the village where you can take a break while watching the cats.
The cafe I went to this time was the Empress Gallery.

Monument Valley, a tourist destination that represents the Grand Circle, is located in the Native American and Navajo reservations. The park is still closed due to the influence of the corona. The photo shows a teardrop-shaped teardrop arch located outside the park and still available for sightseeing. I hope that the vaccine will spread and the park will open as soon as possible.
Henna tattoos are popular in Malaysia due to Indian culture.
It is especially popular with young travelers because it is easy to put in with a fashion sense.

It is a lantern festival of Fukukogu in Xiluo Township, Yunlin County.
Jiufen red lanterns are well known in Taiwan, but in recent years, the lantern festival in Yunlin County has begun to use colored lanterns.
