Tainan Travel: Baihe Lotus Ponds

Travel date: 2021/07/04

The lockdown hasn't ended yet. Initially, we had plans to visit my parents-in-law for the weekend. It has been nearly two months since our last visit to them. They live in Yunlin, and currently, there haven't been any Covid-19 cases reported in that area. However, my sister-in-law lives in Changhua, where there are daily reports of new cases. Moreover, she travels back to Yunlin every weekend and continues to go to work and eat outside, which increases the risk of visiting them during this time. Especially recently, there was a family in Tainan who tested positive for the virus after visiting their family in Changhua.

As a result, we mostly stayed at home. We did visit one house that is currently on sale. It's important not to solely rely on pictures since real estate listings often use extensive photo editing. We have encountered situations where a house looked decent in pictures but turned out to be in terrible condition and not worth our time. It's astonishing to see rundown buildings in remote areas still being sold for 10 million or more. It seems that owning a house in Taiwan may be out of reach for us.

Although all parks remain closed, we decided to go to Baihe to see some lotus ponds. Lotus flowers are one of my favorites, and it's currently their blooming season. Instead of visiting a park, we took a drive along small countryside roads with no people around. The area had hardly any houses, mostly just fields, many of which were planted with lotus flowers.
