Park on a little mountain, "18 peaks" in Hsin Chu







Got some exercise by walking to what might be called the "top of Hsin Chu" yesterday and again today.
Saw that many people from the city were doing the walk to the top. Was very pleasant, with pretty scenery. Even was able to do pull ups, with bars all over. I did eight yesterday, but only six today.

There was even a guy cutting hair up here. People pushed parents in wheel chairs all the way up. I learned how to say "Do you speak Mandarin?" in Fukenese ("Taiwanese") from one of the sons who brought his Mom up (not everyone of that generation knows Mandarin, but most people do now. When I was here before, people spoke a lot more Fukenese.
[Sorry: I do not know how to put these pictures in the right order, so will figure that out next time]
Even was able to get a bunch of baojaos (plantain?) and a baked sweet potato on the walk down the mountain and home.
