Day 2 in Taipei (I) (9.3.2006) - neko's FotoPage

after breakfast we took MRT to Shilin station and change a bus to National Palace Museum.
lots of historical treasures and Buddha statues. there's this Jade White Cabbage and Meat Stone that i found quite interesting after "over heard" their stories... i suppose you need to have some knowledge on this chinese culture and history in order to appreciate all these beautiful sculptures, calligraphy and things back in the Qing Dynasty... both of us don't know much, therefore all these treasures are just some beautiful objects to us. another way is to engage a tour guide there and she will bring you around the museum and tell all the interesting stories behind all these treasures, that was how i "over heard" the cabbage story while the guide was explaining to the visitors.
