Impressions about Lan-Yu

Orchid Island Handmade Canoe



So far, I haven’t got any chances to visit the far-away island which belongs to Taiwan . I heard one of my friends said it is a lovely and a little small island. Living there isn’t a bad idea but you must be well prepared for living there without too many convenient shops. Orchid Island , which means many orchids had grown there before. I mean long time ago. My friend told me that her journey  was an interesting and unforgettable experience. Flying with 18 passengers small jet plane scared her; shops usually are closed before 8 o’clock, and do not take photos to those locals, otherwise, they will get mad because you don’t respect them. She told me if people want to travel there, they must respect them and their culture. As the result, they sure will have a great journey. 





It’s a pleasure to enjoy a series of pictures which were posted by BBC In Pictures. BBC took a close look of Orchid Island . They do not take very beautiful photos to introduce people all over the world about Tao tribe. Instead, they focus on decribing “Fly Fish Festival” and wooden craft “Orchid Island Canoe”. Readers could read the instructions of photo and get a deep understanding about the “Fly Fish Festival” ceremony. 

They also illustrate 3 nuclear plants waste bring several severe medical problems to locals; language problems and traditional skills are dying because of young people’s outflow.
