Hinoki Village in Chiayi was originally built as official housing during the Japanese colonial period for the Alishan forestry development. Today, it is Taiwan's first forestry cultural and creative park and is also a designated historic site. Strolling leisurely through the historic Japanese-style buildings, one can enjoy the soothing aroma of cypress mixed with the scent of tea leaves, creating a truly pleasant experience. My friends wandered through the shops, delighted by the aesthetic beauty of the items and the delicious food.

Charcoal Co (炭所馆) is an exhibition that showcases the types of charcoal used in our daily lives. The staffs here will demonstrate to us the purposes of the charcoal and we learnt a few more knowledges about charcoal! One experiment that they showed us was that they use their charcoal to put into a water to show how charcoal can turned the water to neutral PH. After those experiments, you can choose to purchase their products as well if you are keen. #fallishere
