 Toucheng,
Yilan 
Today we��re going to Wushi Port in Yilan where there��s
a fantastic museum, seafood and a beach that surfers
love.
To get to Wushi Port, take a train and get off at
Toucheng. You can pay for your tickets by tagging
on and off with an Easycard or iPass.
This is Wushi Port, the latest reincarnation of it,
actually. The older and much smaller one is over there.
Come on, I want to show you.
Wushi by the way means ��black rock.�� Those dark rocks
in the middle of the old port over there is how this
area got its name. And the funky looking building
behind me, that��s the Lanyang Museum.
The outline itself is really interesting. What do
you think it looks like? A crashed spaceship? A mountain
growing out of the ground? The architect, Kris Yao,
wanted it to resemble the natural landscape around
here - rocks that that jut diagonally out of the earth
and the ocean.
The shape of the building and the big pool of water
in front of it makes a really good picture. Looking
at the building makes me feel like I��m hearing music.
No, I��m not crazy. I love it!
Kris Yao used 12 different materials for the facades.
Each material represents one specific musical note.
He mapped the score of Vivaldi��s ��Four Seasons�� to
the facades of this building. I think it��s quite clever!
And I love the space!
This is a real fishing boat! A lot of the exhibits
in this museum are interactive and that��s why I love
it. Of course everything is really well laid out,
too. There��s so much to learn if you slow down, look
and think about what you��re looking at. Unfortunately,
there��s just not enough time in one day, so I have
to come back!
Where can you eat if you��re hungry? There��s a seafood
market here.
Wushi Port is also a big surfing spot. A lot of surfers
in northern Taiwan like to come here. In fact, we
bumped into one of our coworkers over there. I love
it how there��s so much to do around here - there��s
the beach, the museum, seafood, hiking, whale watching
from Spring to Fall. Everything��s within walking distance,
too. You should come!
