5. Language
Many people in Taipei speak Mandarin, so there are basically no communication problems. At that time, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dragon" produced in mainland China were also broadcast on TV, which were very popular. Historical dramas were also produced in mainland China and were good to watch. It seemed that there was no obstacle to exchanges in history and culture.
6. Bookstore
There are many bookstores on Chongqing North Road, which are characterized by many books, large space, good environment, and depth (some are more than 50 meters deep). It took me a whole afternoon to visit 4 stores. Most of the books here are in traditional/vertical format, but if the book is exciting, this won't be a problem. Another wonderful thing is the magazines. There are so many types and beautifully printed, but not much content. Take travel and computer science as an example. If you have a thick book and you can read it while standing there, you will finish reading it, which saves money. The price of books is still quite expensive. I remember that at that time, "Lend Me a Life" by Yu Qiuyu and cost more than 500 yuan, and a set of popular versions of the four major classics with pictures and text cost more than 1,200, but the quality was very good and the packaging was beautiful. When I came back, I also bought an illustrated version of the complete collection of Song Ci poems, which cost more than 800 yuan.

7. TV
TV stations don’t have many sports programs, and there are very few live broadcasts, but baseball is an exception. There was a crucial baseball game on the weekend and all the TVs in the streets/stores were showing it and a lot of people were standing there watching. The outdoor TV near Taipei Station was the most popular, with more than 300 people, cheering constantly, and the atmosphere was very lively. As for the lottery held by a nearby merchant, although the prizes were generous, there were still very few people. They should regret holding the event at this time.
There are many political commentary programs, and the politicians are very good at speaking. Many people have never been to the mainland, but they are eloquent when talking about the mainland. Politicians are politicians, and their views do not necessarily have to be correct, but they must be powerful. I feel that their views are mainly based on whether they are beneficial to themselves or the election. It is common for them to turn black into white.

8. Bathing in hot springs
is also called hot spring bathing. This is a unique specialty in Taiwan. Not only are there many hot springs and they are of all kinds, Beitou is a place rich in hot spring resources. Take the MRT Tamsui Line and get off at Xinbeitou Station. You can first walk to the Geothermal Valley. The geothermal valley is not big, but the heat is very strong and the smell of sulfur is very strong. Unfortunately, boiled eggs are not allowed. There is a hot spring museum on the roadside. It is not big but has rich content.
There are many places to bathe in hot springs. You can choose the open-air ones. The price is about RMB 10, which is not expensive. A typical one is that along the river bank, there are 6 pools, including 1 hot spring (more than 40 degrees), 1 hot spring, 2 low hot springs, and 2 cold springs. hot spring water will flow into the hot spring first, and then into the hot spring and low hot spring in sequence.
Not everyone can tolerate hot springs. If you can soak in them for 5 minutes at a time, you are a master. I was so angry that I clasped my hands together and persisted. My highest record was still 3 minutes. However, there are many old men and women who can soak for more than 15 minutes at a time. They are really powerful. They should reach the ninth level of Nine Yang Divine Skill.
The hot springs are quite hot, so you can’t soak in them for too long. After coming out of the hot springs, I was very tired. It felt like I had swum 100 meters.
The low-temperature hot springs are better. You can soak in them for a long time and feel a little sleepy.
The cold spring is relatively cool, which is very suitable for soaking in summer and is also a favorite of children.
slowly relaxed himself in the low hot springs. The temperature was suitable. He admired the surrounding green trees and looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head. It felt really good.
