In keeping with Today's Selection of Scooter Balloons for Taiwan Picture of the Day I have dedicated this entry to the trip to the Jong Shin Village in Nantou County, Taiwan. To get there is an easy exit from Freeway #3 just south of Taichung and slightly north of Nantou.

The Gate welcomes you to Jong Shin Village

This tree lined street is not something you would excpect to see in Taiwan.

Houses on cute little streets complete with front yards and hedges.

The paths, fields and parks here are quite impressive.

Kids enjoy playing in this park with a sand pit, maze and lots of other kid activities.

She will gladly sell you some scooops, trucks and shovels for the sand-pit.

The village and the parks are quite established with many old trees and lots of roots.
