National Palace Museum, Taiwan, TW-298144


The some parts of the treasures in the Palace of the

Qing Dynasty (Wiki) are keeped in the “National Palace Museum”, Taiwan.

I like the “Carved olive boat”, it’s not much bigger than 3cm,but there are 8 people, chairs, desks, and others included in it, even the small doors can open and close freely! Incredible!

The means of the “Hakka” are “the guests”, they have a long history about migrations, at the first, ancients of them were lived in the middle area of China, but they moved to the south part of China to avoid the wars, then some people went to Taiwan, several hundred years ago.  
Their language is very suitable to read the old (1000 years :P), traditional poems.  Because the writers these traditonal Chinese poems all were lived in the middle area of China, 1000 years ago.

There are several hundreds of butterflies in Taiwan. I think the most special one is the “Euploea”, people have founded them can fly across the sea, from Taiwan to Japan, the distance maybe over 2000km! It’s interesting such a tiny butterfly can do this!
