#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Houlong, Miaoli, is a small village with a large population of out-migration. On a very ordinary rural road, there is a townhouse in the countryside. On the first floor is a "Chongcheng Ganzai" store that sells snacks and drinks. The second floor is a dessert story started by young people returning to their hometown… "Chongcheng Grocery Store" is a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities. The cafe retains the original traces of time on the tiles, walls, and traces of fire tattoos; old furniture, dried plants, and small items are elegantly placed in every corner of the store, and there are tastes and styles worth exploring in detail. We visited the colorful tunnel, Hakka round building and Cape of Good Hope beach. However, it was windy and rainy when we arrived at Cape of Good Hope so we gave up on the trip to see the sea.

A must-see on Taiwan's west coast at Miaoli with its dramatic panoramic coastal landscape dotted with giant wind turbines.

2023/1/5 From the front door of the house, ride a YouBike to depart for the "Guogang Tunnel" destination. Take the sea line train to the "Longgang" station after arriving in Changhua, then head towards "Baishatun", passing by the "Hao Wang Jiao" scenic platform, and then walk down a steep slope to reach the old tunnel, a total of three. However, we all agree that the middle tunnel is the most beautiful. After taking funny photos, head to the famous "Gongtian Temple" in Baishatun for a meal. After finishing the meal, don't forget to take photos in front of the temple before heading to the Baishatun station to return to the house in Taichung. Today's weather on the coastal route is not good, the visibility is not great. If it's sunny, the coast will definitely be beautiful, but you may have to endure the heat. Spend a wonderful day in the cool sea breeze, and also welcome new partners to join and strengthen the lineup of the idle group.
