It's daybreak. I missed the blazing glow all over the sky, but there is still a blue sky and rising sun.
Recently, the air is clear and the morning sun is dazzling. Because my body is tired, I often miss those glowing lights in the sky. The scenery along the Taipei River ranges from gorgeous to bleak. In midsummer, at around six o'clock, the flaming red clouds have disappeared and transformed into a dazzling morning sun nestling in the embrace of the blue sky. I paddled through the breeze, walked and pedaled on the clear waterside bicycle path, heading to the long-lost Taiping Ridge of Linkou, and soaked up the peaceful atmosphere of the small village.
New Taipei Looking towards Taipei City, each bridge has a different silhouette (Guangfu Bridge)
The river is still quiet in summer, with only the sound of the wind in the early morning and a few footsteps of sports and leisure. Get up early and follow the sky to the river. Beside, the sapphire blue sky falls into the bright orange horizon. The skyline, which seems to be regular yet unstructured, with its sharp edges and corners, and the jagged silhouette of the city, is just like the encounters in life, which are both beautiful and unpredictable. I like the scenery in these rivers, so no matter where I go to ride, I will go around and take a look.
It’s like walking into an unknown time and space, so beautiful (Wanbanqiao)
I rode along the Xindian River, preparing to cross the suspended bicycle bridge under the New Taipei Bridge. I have walked this road countless times, and it seems ordinary. Bridge view, I feel a little different tension today. Perhaps it’s because the sunrise over Taipei City has just climbed over the horizon, and the slanting light in the blue sky is a bit tired. Looking from New Taipei City, the shadows on the bridge are like walking into the change of time and space, empty and floating. The Xinbei Bridge is facing the Danshui River, where the Dahan River and the Xindian River merge. Every time I ride a bicycle, I think about coming here to wait for the sunrise. The stream remains the same, and my desire passes easily.
An arc drawn into the distance, with the blue sky accompanying it, it will be different.
The temperature in summer makes me unmotivated. The water park in the Erzhong Floodway is dull and unremarkable. This simple dullness, Just like the ups and downs of the days, if there is one day in the autumn and winter flower season, you will know how brilliant the flowers are in bloom! The flood dredging lotus park is in particularly good condition this year. I was riding a bicycle with only a small camera. The lotus pond was filled with green leaves. A small consumer camera can also capture the light and shadow in the red flowers and green leaves, stop, turn, and The dynamic colors of light and dark. There is no special arrangement for cycling, I just feel that the scenery passing by will always provide rich scenic spots to the cycling travelers.
The light and shadow linger among the flowers and leaves. It looks beautiful no matter how you take it.
I had breakfast near the head of Bali Ferry. I was the only one walking on the almost forgotten 105 County Road with the summer temperature that was still hot after I was angry. The first half of it was After a few kilometers of steep mountain road, the road gradually leveled off and we arrived at the Linkou platform, which happened to be the entrance to Taiping Lane in front of the Linkou Golf Course. Before the restructuring of New Taipei City, Taipingli was called Taiping Village, a small settlement on a hill, so the local name was Taipingling.
Highway 105 in summer is as steep and as hot
In the past few years, there were some crowds of people because of the movie Sedek Bale. Since the filming set was demolished, the Arong studio in the village is still there, but the prosperity has disappeared, and there is no chasing. Despite the noise caused by the popularity of movies, Taiping Village has returned to quietness. Turning in from the golf course, there was only a deserted feeling on the road. There were shallow vegetable fields in front of several houses, and some half-tilted red brick houses told old and unknown stories of the village's past. Those past events seem to be very interesting, but I can't find anyone to tell the story in an ancient sense. There is an old eggplant tree in the center of the village. The name of the bus stop has been changed from Taiping Village to Taiping Community. The sun shines from the treetops, and people who have lost their doors behind the stop sign empty their houses.
Linkou Taiping Village is now Taipingli in New Taipei. The bus stop has been given a new name
I still like to call this small place Linkou with the word village. The only small grocery store has a nostalgic tobacco and alcohol sign on the door of the old street. , the owner of the store looked at me taking pictures, and shouted from the window: "It's so nostalgic! It's been more than 20 years." The last steel plate issued by the Tobacco and Liquor Monopoly Bureau has been hanging for more than 20 years. The store really sells cigarettes and alcohol, and the iron signboard is real and not just for decoration. Buy a bottle of sports drink and sit under the tree. The wind is blowing slowly. Taiping Village is not hot at noon, but feels cool and comfortable.
The only small grocery store in the village, the iron signboard of the wine retailer, a genuine wine shop, the last public sale note more than 20 years ago.
misses the tranquility and nostalgia of Taiping Ridge, as well as the North 79 Township Road that passes through the village. Every time I come here to enjoy the lonely ride, then, before going down the mountain, I will meet the Guanhai Bridge, lightly crossing the green mountain recesses, and the green mountains will go to The sea is pouring down, Taipei Port , Baliwaihai, and Linkou Power Plant are all in front of you. The air is rarely clear in June, and the seas in Bali and Linkou are also particularly blue. The blue lines connect the sea and the sky, and the deep and shallow colors of the ocean are clearly visible. Stopping on the Guanhai Bridge, I looked at the lonely beauty with the summer wind.
When I met the Guanhai Bridge, I stopped my bicycle and stopped to find the memories I had missed for several years.
I remember that not long after crossing the Guanhai Bridge, the sunset in the direction of the Linkou Power Plant was very moving. If you have free time recently, find another day to ride a bicycle to the small village of Taipingling, stand on the roadside of North 79, and watch the golden sunset drop into the embrace of the sea.
