My name is Finemakers.

It's finally the last day of 2020.
This year was a really tough year for those involved in our travel business to be swayed by Corona.
Even so, I was given the opportunity to take a new initiative called a virtual tour, and I was able to meet Japanese customers, albeit through the screen. Even in this uncertain situation, I was greatly saved by the smiles and kind comments of our customers.
Thank you to everyone who participated and to everyone at VELTRA for planning.

By the way, New Year's Eve events are held in various places in Taiwan every year.
However, this year it was canceled due to the influence of Corona.
101 fireworks in Taipei will be held, but you will be admitted by wearing a mask / temperature measurement / disinfection / signature / identification card.
There are also admission restrictions.
The information is constantly being updated, so please check the official website.

We pray that 2021 will be a fruitful year for all of you.
Please take good care of yourself and have a good year.

New Year's pleasure, Manji Ruyi

This is an Italian restaurant in Kayama, Hsinchu.
It's a place far from the city, so the fresh air,
The scent of baking pizza, the bright interior and cute decorations,
It's a place to relax.
I pray that you will come to Taiwan sooner.

My name is Finemakers.

Sun Moon Lake, located in Yuchi Township, Nantou County, central Taiwan, is a very beautiful alpine lake. It was named Sun Moon Lake because it looks like the sun on the east side and the moon on the west side of Lalu Island.
Surrounded by mountains and abundant in water, this land changes its appearance depending on the season, weather, and time of day and shows various faces. The beauty of nature is one of the eight scenic spots in Taiwan.

Around the lake, there is the Nigetsutan Kantan Public Road where you can take a walk and cycle. Approximately 400m from the water company to the Xiangshan Visitor Center has a route on the lake, which is especially wonderfully recommended.
Besides cycling, you can also board a boat or take the ropeway to see the lake from above.
At the surrounding restaurants, you can enjoy stir-fried wild boar meat, wild boar meat, venison-based mountain dishes, and indigenous dishes that are rarely seen in Taipei.

The area around Sun Moon Lake is also famous for producing black tea. Not only the tea leaves themselves, but also sweets made from tea leaves are available, so it is recommended as a souvenir.

Please see for yourself the changing scenery such as early morning, dusk, and quiet night. There is no doubt that you will be captivated by Sun Moon Lake.

"winter solstice"
It was the winter solstice yesterday!
In Taiwan, it is customary to eat dumplings called "Tangyuan" at the winter solstice.
Dumplings are made by the family or bought on the market.
Then, you can put it in a sweet soup made of zenzai or peanuts, and eat it in various ways.
Since the Tangyuan is round, it is meaningful to have a "family harmonious" and "cheerful", and to eat the Tangyuan to wish for a year of harmoniousness.
But just because it's delicious, be careful not to eat too much 😋

My name is Finemakers.

In the latter half of December, the northern part of Taiwan has become completely cold.
Illumination events for Christmas and New Year's Eve are now starting in each city. This time, I visited an event held in Banqiao, New Taipei City.
Since this year is the 10th anniversary of the event, it will be a special event in collaboration with Disney called "Disney Fairy Tales fairy tales", and it is crowded with many people every day.
The most popular are the Cheshire Cat objects that appear in the central Christmas tree and Alice in Wonderland. By the way, it is said that the number of objects and exhibits installed is 48, which is the largest in history.
In addition, there are eight tunnels of light that are surrounded by 360-degree light, which is popular for photography every year.

The venue is a very large area, centered on the New Taipei City Government and in front of Fuchu Station.
The event will be held for a long period of 52 days from November 13, 2020 to January 03, 2021.
It's crowded on weekends, so it's a good idea to arrive and know where it is before it gets dark.

* Please wear a mask at the venue.

Have a nice weekend.

Have you ever been to Banqiao District, New Taipei City?
The New Taipei City (New Taipei Christmas Town), which is always held at this time of year, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, and the highlight is the collaboration with Disney.
Since it is an event once a year, there are many parents and children and couples.

It seems that the corona vaccine is already out, but I think it is still difficult to go abroad.
We hope that this year will be over in the next two weeks, and that we will be able to give everyone a sense of energy in the local situation.

"Mt. Taihei"

Taiheiyama is a place where forestry flourished during the Japanese era. The railroad tracks that were once used to transport timber remain.
"Jianqing Huai Trail" is a trekking course that has selected 28 beautiful paths in the world. The decayed railroad tracks are mossy, making it a beautiful tourist destination.
You can also take a trolley train from Taiheiyama Station near the summit! It is also good to enjoy forest bathing while being shaken by the train.
However, this time I went in December, so it was raining and cold .. Summer is recommended!

Xinbeitou Station is the closest station to the famous Beitou hot springs in Taiwan.

The original Xinbeitou Station was established in 1916 as a station on the Taiwan Railways Administration's Xinbeitou Line, but in 1988 the Taiwan Railways Xinbeitou Line was discontinued due to the construction of the MRT (Taipei Metro).

The current Xinbeitou Station has become a station on the MRT Tamsui Line and Xinbeitou Branch Line.

In recent years, the old station building of the Taiwan Railways Xinbeit Line has been restored, and it has been opened to the public as a station with a history of more than 100 years, which remains in Taipei City.

When you come to Beitou Onsen, be sure to visit the old station building.
