Taipei Yangmingshan Sapphire Spring Water Yangmingshan Water Shrine is a water supply system completed in 1932 during the Japanese-Taiwan rule.
It is an old water supply system with a history of 90 years, but it is still working.
If you book a tour, you can see the source of the Kusayama Suido, which is open to the public.
The sapphire-colored spring water looks blue and is very fantastic!
And you can drink delicious fresh water from the nearby faucet ~

Xin Chao!
Vietnam has announced that it will accept tourists from overseas from March 15th, but details have not yet been announced the day before. .. ..

Da Nang, a resort area in central Vietnam, was crowded with many foreign tourists before Corona, but as shown in the photo, there are no tourists.

The photo was taken at Hyatt Regency Da Nang's private beach, which is followed by a 5-star hotel's private beach, but the city's public beach (My Khe Beach) is visited by many Vietnamese tourists. I did.

We are looking forward to the return of tourists from overseas and the revival of the bustling beaches of Da Nang.
