Good morning~~~~calla lilly farmers~~

Zuhzihu is part of Yangmingsan National Park, the back yard of Taipei city, most of  redsidency of Zuhzihu are farmer of calla lilly.There are 2 ways to grow calla lilly, hydrophyte and xerophyte. The hydrophyte way needs more water to grow the calla lilly,  farmers wears waterproof dress whenever working  in the farm, just like this guy. The hydrophyted calla lillies have longer stems , bigger and more beatiful flowers. But the tourist is very difficult to go into farm to nip calla lillies by themselves.
Farmers nip those in the early morning to sell to tourist. Just 0.4 USD for each, very cheapppppppppp.
The xerophyte way is more friendly to tourist. All the tourist can go into the farm to nip the calla lillies by themselves. 0.4 USD for each also~~~

Good morning~~~~Yangmingsan!!!

This was a sunny morning in Taipei. I was on my way to MRT station at 6 am like an early bird. Hoping not to be caught a traffic jam that would  ruined my wonderful mood for that trip~~~
It was around 7am ,I arrived Shilin MRT station  and from there caught a bus. Finally, Yangmingsan, it is raining and getting cooler .I started to run~~~and saw it just standing in the foggy village, toward the direction of that wind, just like it was welcoming me~~~

"Good Morning~~~~Yangmingsan
I am coming here again~~~~"
