Discovering the True Beauty of Taiwan and Enjoying My Friendships

人是故鄉親Luke enjoys traveling with friends in Taiwan With my tank top on, I am enjoying the heat發表讓人們目不轉睛的演講 by Luke Wang

Time flies-it is already the last month of my summer break. To start out this crazy month, my friends and I decided to go to Green Island- a famous spot southeast of Taiwan. With its hot weather and beautiful natural resources, Green Island is famous for water sports.

Starting with Taitung (台東), we spent a day visiting some famous tourist sites. The next day we went to Green Island. I was fascinated by the island's beauty: natural, simple and lovely. The sun burned my skin and sweat dampened my shirt, but I loved the feeling, especially with great friends at my side.

After the Green Island trip, another group of friends took me to a beach in northern Taiwan: Baishawan (白砂灣）.With its white sandy shores, Baishawan is a great place for college students to hang ont.

Here I am at the end of the month, recalling my four months of summer break. I know it is time to say goodbye. I don't want to go, but my studies are calling me. Savoring the love of friends and family, I realize what is most important to me.
