In traditional Chinese culture, living with a family is inevitable during the Chinese New Year, but this year the government has called on the people to "live the Chinese New Year in the usual town" and "refrain from returning home" in order to prevent the spread of corona infection. It was.
Compared to 2019, it seems that only one-third of the people will return home, but this year's Chinese New Year will be on February 12, and the movement to return home will usually start on January 28. What is it like now?
People from many regions live in the international metropolis of Shanghai. Will those people eventually return this year?
I went to three major stations in Shanghai and saw what happened.

It contributed to the epidemic. In 2021, the infection is settling down.

Title: Freshwater Fisherman's Sunset Sunset Taipei has had good weather for the first time in a long time since winter, so
I went to see the famous freshwater sunset.
When I rented a bicycle from Tamsui Station and went to the Fisherman's Wharf (Fisher's Wharf)
I just saw a very beautiful sunset!
I also saw that the construction of the Tamsui Bridge, which is currently under construction, is steadily progressing!
The Danjiang Bridge is a bridge that connects Tamsui and Bali on the other side.
The construction of the Tamsui Bridge was already underway in 1992, but
Construction has finally started in 2014. It is scheduled to open in 2024.
I'm really looking forward to another three years.
Three years later, you can see a wonderful collaboration between Tamsui Ohashi and the beautiful sunset!
Please come and see us on that day!
