CCU Lover's Scenic Vista

Beautiful view. Too many people. If you plan for a romantic evening, it is quite the trip to get there and you will have to share the spot with so many couples. It feels like a date game TV show. However the view is stunning and it's nice to share it with a partner.

Great views - if it is a clear night. Check the air quality, or choose a slightly windy day.

I revisited a part of my father's youth. He graduated from 文化大學 many many years ago. I remember his stories about his late night escapades on his motor scooter with good friends or past girlfriends. He used to tell me about mixture of freedom, romance, and hardships he had when he was younger, and now I, in a way following his footsteps, have found my way to the top of this precipice. As my own friends took me to the top overlooking the city, I felt a closeness to my father and his youth. He lives in America now, far far away from familiar faces and sights. So as I looked over the edge at the glow of the city lights, I think about my own home and experiences. Where I've been, the relationships I've made, and the bonds formed in various places around the world. Life has a way of taking you to strange places and giving each of us unique and similar experiences. And now this place will hold a unique memory for me as it did for my father, laughing and sharing memories with good people on the back of a scooter. A symbol of my youth.

Must go on your visit to Taipei. Stunning view when the sky is clear.

nice view. a bit hard to find parking though. probably need to come earlier and wait around before it gets dark to get a good spot.
