About This Book A long string of scenic wonders resides in all our hearts –children playing at a beach in the afterglow of sunset, a young mother strolling, baby in arms, through a grove of cherry trees in blossom, a dashing young horseman beneath a Royal Poinciana, a sea of roiling clouds encircling Mt. Ali, the sun sinking into the sea off Xiyu Island in the Penghu archipelago, glistening rice paddies crisscrossed with footpaths, Sun Moon Lake as still as a fairyland amidst thick fog, Paulownia tree pedals falling like snow in June. Some may spark a memory or give you a feeling of warmth. Many more offer enchanting surprises. The chance to view a mountain or the sea, to listen to the wind, to admire a flower or a tree – it’s been close by you all the time.
