Keelung walks featuring the unique wave-cut landscapes of Heping Island, the colourful houses lining Zhengbin Fishing Port, ruins of the turn-of-the-century Agena Shipyard, a Shinto temple turned martyrs’ shrine, and the Qing-dynasty Ershawan Fort that fought to repel French invasion.

Reconnecting with the sea in Keelung, my new home as my coronavirus exile continues.

Exploring the wilds of Yilan County, ancestral home of Taiwan‘s aboriginal Kavalan tribe until aggressive colonisation by Han Chinese from Fujian at the turn of the 19th century forced them down into Hualien.

Traditional watercraft, maritime archaeology, indigenous architecture, and riverside cycle paths and gyms in Taipei’s Bali district, nestled between the Taiwan Strait, Tamsui River and Guanyin Mountain.

Hong Kong can be an immensely depressing place, especially recently: a deeply unequal society (mis)run by out-of-touch and unelected elites who habitually ignore the interests and will of the public, ravaged by months of increasingly desperate resistance and increasingly harsh repression, and now beset by a growing epidemic that our government seems to be dragging its feet to fight against. But it’s also such an unbelievably beautiful place.

鼠不盡的美景，鼠不盡的笑容 A very happy new year from Taiwan
