Orchid Island

A Catholic church after Sunday moring Mass. People usually dress up with their traditional costumes for the Mass.

A scene of the Wild Silver Village. Here you still can see traditional Dawu "sub-ground" houses. Most people are Cartholic on this island.

Residence of the former Lanyu County Magistrate. Only people of imporatnace can carry the icon of Dawu canoe as decoration on their houses.

This "open house" oversees the ocean. Sitting here looking toward the sea enjoing the caressing of salt wind is really a great summer treat!

It was early in the morning, probably 30 after 5, I got up and went out the hostel located near the seashore, walked to the small harbor next to the hostel, and took this picture.

Here, I couldn't resist the allure of the sea but jumping into it for a morning exercise along with several others.
