[Chiayi] Chiayi Song of the Forest

Posted on by phototravel
If you have the chance to take a train passing near Chiayi Railway Station recently, you might notice a new egg-shaped structure made of yellow rattan by the tracks. This unique and mysterious attraction is Chiayi’s new landmark—the Song of the Forest.
 
Officially opened in August 2012, the Song of the Forest is the work of artist Wang Wen-Chih. It shares a similar artistic spirit with the “Moon Reflection in the Lake” at Lantan Reservoir, but the Forest Song is even more eye-catching.
 
While the Song of the Forest’s distinctive shape is noticeable during the day, its true brilliance shines at night when it is illuminated with yellow lights. The interplay of light and shadow through the rattan structure creates a mesmerizing effect, making it a popular spot for night photography in Chiayi.

The egg-shaped structure cleverly uses gaps to allow light and shadow to penetrate and seep through

Located next to the Cultural Road underpass in Chiayi, the Song of the Forest is easy to find. While exploring the Chiayi Cultural Road Night Market, don’t miss the chance to visit this mysterious attraction and experience its beauty!

I don’t know where the urge came from, but I felt restless and wanted to go out. Maybe everyone is just too busy… (or perhaps there are very few people like me who still want to go out even after starting work!?) With no one available to accompany me, a joke from Zhihao, “Come to Taichung!” actually made me start planning a trip. I took the train to Taichung alone.

[Taoyuan] The Chives Flower Field in Daxi

After several weeks of not venturing out for photography, I was on the verge of going stir-crazy. Either the weekends were marred by bad weather, or I was simply at a loss for new places to explore (I must admit, Taipei has been thoroughly explored). Just then, I came across a post on PPT DSLR forum, where someone had shared about the chives flower field in Zhongxin Village, Daxi. So, I decided to dust off my Nikon 105mm and head out to capture the beauty of the chives flowers.
