Douliu
Gukeng Shuttle Bus
Welcome to TAIWAN, I am Poyu Lin
I love to travel,love wandering around Taiwan
This is Yunlin!
This is also Yunlin!
This is Yunlin here too!
If you don��t want to drive your own car or join
a tour group, the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle service
is a great way to get around. In Yunlin, the shuttles
run on two routes. The one I��m taking today is the
Douliu Gukeng route, which passes through a bunch
of fun places.
Yunlin��s Douliu has a pretty famous attraction that��s
hidden along the city��s quiet Yunzhong Street. Built
in 1937 during the Japanese colonial period, this
complex was used as housing for the city��s police
force, before it was redeveloped as a village for
creative industry.
Before, my only impressions of old-style black vinyl
records all came from movies and TV shows. But today,
I��ve got the chance to listen to and experience
their special sound firsthand.
Nostalgia is a funny thing. In the right surroundings,
you can get a sense of a place��s unique history,
no matter where you��re from or whether you lived
through that era. This is the kind of place that
can let you feel like you��re really taking a step
back into the past.
This is Huashan Coffee Street. Take a look at all
the shop signs. I think this street must have the
world��s highest concentration of coffee shops.
In terms of climate and environment, Yunlin��s Gukeng
Township is highly suited to growing coffee.
I��ve never tested coffee cherry before.
It��s sweet and teste like a jujube.
It��s been said that both English and Dutch settlers
used to grow coffee here. In 1931, the Japanese
started large-scale cultivation of the Arabica variety
of coffee beans in Gukeng, shipping most of their
production back to Japan.
After harvesting,coffee cherries need to be spread
out in the sun.This is called dry processing.
Up until the last decade or so, coffee-drinking
wasn��t common in Taiwan, and Gukeng��s coffee fields
were left unplanted during periods of low demand.
Then, in 2003, the Gukeng Township office started
holding the yearly ��Taiwan Coffee Festival,�� which
proved a success in popularizing coffee among Taiwanese.
The festival also made Yunlin��s Gukeng synonymous
with the drink.
I��m not a coffee expert, so I can��t really make
out the fruity notes that they mention. But I really
like the taste!
Aside from being a place to drink coffee, Huashan
Coffee Street has over 14 themed walking itineraries,
which you can take to discover all kinds of surprises.
Wow! Look at that! So cool!
Mushroom-shaped structures like these were actually
used as storehouses for grain back in the day. To
preserve some idea of what Gukeng used to look like,
one person designed these buildings to resemble
the town��s old-fashioned granaries.
In Yunlin, the agricultural base of central Taiwan,
you can see a different side of Taiwan. If you get
the opportunity, you should definitely come and
take a look.
I am Poyu Lin, enjoy your time in Taiwan! Ciao��see
you next time.
