Coming down from Liushishi Mountain, we headed towards Taitung Pond. Still running on the Taiwan-Kowloon Highway.
Dapo Pond, one of the ten scenic spots in Taitung, once appeared on the cover of the literary master "Chishang Diary"
Dapo Pond was formerly known as "Dapi", also known as "Dapi", and was once listed as one of the ten scenic spots in Taitung for "Fishing on the Pond".
The beauty of the pool has attracted the attention of the literary master "Jiang Xun". He wrote poems about his thoughts of staying in the Huadong Rift Valley these days, revealing his feelings for the pool. On the cover of Mr. Jiang Xun's "Chishang Diary".
The name "Chishang" started from Dapo Pond. During the Qing Dynasty, Chishang called it "Xinkai Garden", which means "newly opened up garden". Because of the "Dapi Pond" in the jurisdiction, it was misrepresented as "Da Po Pond" during the Japanese occupation period. Later, the tribe was located above the Dapo Pond, so it was named "Pond".
To feel the beauty of Dapo Pond, you can rent a bicycle and go around the cycle path of Dapo Pond. The pool is the most beautiful in June when the lotus is in full bloom.

The Brown Avenue in Chishang has been prohibited from entering by cars and motorcycles for many years. If you don’t want to walk, you can rent a bicycle or a co-operative car instead.
On the field road in Chishang Township, Taitung, there are waves of rice swaying on both sides. It became very popular because of the advertisement of Brown Coffee, and it is called "Brown Avenue". In the middle of Brown Avenue, there is a meandering path, which is the place where Takeshi Kaneshiro once came here to ride a bicycle to shoot advertisements. The endless green rice fields on both sides sway with the wind, and it is known as a "green road to paradise". These are the must-see attractions when you come to Chishang Township.
Takeshi Kaneshiro on Brown Avenue
A winter tree next to Brown Avenue is the scene where Takeshi Kaneshiro shot tea in the advertisement of EVA Air in June 2013. It is called "Takeshi Kaneshiro Tree". Since then, this tree has become a famous landmark of Brown Avenue, attracting Many fans and tourists come here to make a pilgrimage to take pictures. The Kaneshiro Takeshi tree fell in the attack of Typhoon Madom on July 23, 2014. The Ikegami Township Office and EVA Airlines urgently invited Japanese arborists to come and treat the tree. Two trees, Tokuo Yamashita and Yoshihisa Kawaguchi Under the treatment of the artist, he was able to recuperate smoothly and is now thriving.

Landmark of Brown Avenue ~ Ikegami Photo Frame
We rode a tandem bicycle and roamed on the Brown Avenue with green rice fields on both sides, admiring the field scenery covered with countryside, which looks like an oil painting. There are no traffic lights on Brown Avenue in Chishang, not even a telephone pole.
Brown Avenue is an idyllic alley in Chishang, Taitung. It became popular in the early days because of the advertisement of Brown Coffee. Recently, it has attracted attention again because of the advertisement of Takeshi Kaneshiro EVA Air.
There is a white photo frame at the entrance of Brown Avenue. This is the landmark of Brown Avenue ~ Chishang Photo Frame, which is also a popular photo spot. With the large rice fields and distant mountains behind, as well as the blue sky and white clouds, it is a rare good background. There are so many tourists taking pictures here, it takes some time to wait in line.
There is also a very cute Uncle Brown next to the photo frame, and many tourists are rushing to take pictures.
In the past, it was only known that Chishang’s strength was rice. When the residents lived in food, clothing and affluence, Chishang also transformed from a land of rice to a town of culture. The Spike Art Festival will be held on October 24th and 25th, and this year will enter its 12th year.
Have you ever listened to music for the paddy fields? Music boxes are played on Brown Avenue, and Chishang rice listens to classical music, so that Chishang rice can grow under classical music every day from transplanting to harvesting. It is the first time I have listened to classical music while farming. I believe that if you are in a good mood, the rice you grow will also taste good. No wonder the rice in Chishang is so delicious.
Nice View on Brown Avenue
Ikegami's road to heaven ~【Paradise Road】passing by
【Road to Heaven】, the official name is "Wanxin Road". It is a small road extending in the middle of Brown Avenue. It is slightly S-shaped and extends all the way to the sky. When the sun sets, the golden light shines down. At the end of the road, it seems to lead to heaven, and with such a dreamy nickname [Paradise Road], it has a different beauty from the straight Brown Avenue.
The new installation art in 2020 is just beside the intersection of the Road to Paradise, and it is also a popular spot for taking pictures.
I actually missed this road to heaven on the pool [Road to Heaven]. I can only say next time.
Chishang~Dachi Bean Curd Shop Eating Tofu Curd
This Dachi beancurd, beanbag and soymilk store is a famous store in Chishang. It is near Brown Avenue. It has a history of nearly 50 years. It still uses the ancient method of firewood to make bean curd. First, the bean dregs and soymilk are filtered and separated. , The surface of the boiled soy milk is cooled and solidified into a thin film, which is the bean curd, and then the bean curd is picked up and put on the bamboo pole to drain, and the handmade bean curd is completed.
The store is very similar to an ordinary house, with simple tables and chairs placed at the door, because the tofu curds were sold out early in the afternoon, and the boss said that there were only soy milk and tofu curd, so we ordered 2 bowls of bean curd, which tasted delicious Very soft, pink and tender. It's just that there are a lot of flies here.
A must-eat when you come to Chishang~ Fukuhara Tofu Shop Soft, juicy and delicious fragrant tofu
"Fukuhara Tofu Shop" located next to Fukuhara Elementary School, even though it is hidden in an alley, still attracts many tourists.
In addition to fragrant tofu, Fuyuan Tofu shop also has bean curd and soy milk.
The fragrant tofu at Fukuhara Tofu shop is not crispy on the outside, but slightly crispy and thin, but the inside is really soft and soupy. It tastes very different from ordinary stinky tofu. It is not like stinky tofu but a bit like fried tofu, it is fragrant stinky tofu.
Because it is delicious, I need to line up to order food, and then wait patiently for the stinky tofu to be fried. I waited for about half an hour. But as long as it's good food, it's worth the extra wait. I still have to say again, is there too many flies on the pond? I also encountered a bunch of flies at the Dachi Bean Skin Store just now, and there were also a bunch of flies at the outdoor dining area of the Fuyuan Tofu Store. Everyone was scared and moved indoors to eat.
