White Salt Mountain: Kites Writing Poetry in the Sky

There is a snow mountain in Taiwan that is both mysterious and does not melt? No, it’s a salt mountain. This is the location of the salt pile at #七股晒盐场. The pile of salt is nearly six stories high and weighs 40,000 tons. It looks like a snow mountain 🏔️. It is said that this salt was the war reserve salt during Chiang Kai-shek's time. Climb up #Qigu Salt Mountain to enjoy the scenery of #Qigu Lagoon Area and #Taijiang National Park. There is little rainfall in Tainan throughout the year except during the rainy season, especially in winter, making Tainan an ideal place for drying salt. Go to the salt field and learn how to dry salt from Tainan people, make #salt-marinated tofu pudding, and eat #salt popsicles.
"My enthusiasm is like a fire, burning the entire desert!" After visiting the snow-capped mountains in the morning, we went to the nearby Edingtou Sandbar Desert in the afternoon. Since the rivers in western Taiwan are relatively shallow, the sand and soil deposited from the rivers accumulate over the years to form sandbars. In addition, its location in the coastal area has long been affected by monsoons and terrain, forming sand dunes. Therefore, #Edingtou Sandbar is also known as the "Taiwan version of the Sahara Desert." There is also a #国圣Lighthouse here, which looks very similar to the Tokyo Tower. It was built in the 1950s and 1960s, but due to repeated typhoon attacks, the entire lighthouse sank into the sea. The current lighthouse was rebuilt.
