Something old, something new
I was starting to think it didn't exist. That 'authentic' and 'Taiwan' were destined to be apart forever. But there does exist a town that is more than just skyscrapers and abused natural landscapes.
Lukang is the latern capitol of Taiwan. Shopowners there have been making traditional laturns and running the family business for decades. The streets are crowned with the colorful fruits of their craft.
There are houses on the side streets, not just shops selling plastic junk. The occasional tree even makes an appearance. If you get lost on a back road, you end up in a farm, not a traffic accident.
