dear all, finally finish most work with my job and now I can drop by more often! I see there is a SteemitPhotoChallenge with a theme Nostalgia. It quickly reminds me of the feeling of my Chih-Shang trip a while ago. Chih-Shang is located in Taitung county - the eastern part of Taiwan that is regarded as Taiwan's back garden. Chih-Shang itself is famous for one very important, for most Taiwanese, theme - rice, rice field and rural countryside. Actually Chih-Shang rice is probably the most dominant rice brand in Taiwan. Upon hearing this name, most people's reaction is: rice!

As people here with certain age, either from their earlier experience or from parents' narration, still have strong feelings towards the countryside and all those rice cultivation stories. Visiting rice fields, especially endless rice fields in Chih-Shang, gives you the feeling of returning home and feel loved and secure. Somehow, this reminds me of the word - Nostalgia. So this is gonna be my first ever SteemitPhotoChallenge and I also share some non-entry photos which are just beautiful and peaceful. Hope you feel what I felt. Last I include a relevant song by Taiwan's top artist Jay Chou to go with these photos.
