the weather is still fine but you're moving on to your next destination. you bid farewell to jialeshui and drive north bound. and within 2 hours drive, you're into a hakka village in the province of kaohsiung. here you're introduced to the hakka culture and heritage.
the entrance to the meinong folk village
the hakka umbrellas
the plants
the hakka textile lanterns, you almost tempted to buy but at the end you left empty handed
more hand painted umbrellas, visitors can actually participate in painting an umbrella and bring it home...
the utensils used in the farming...
you had the chance to taste the hakka lui cha or thunder tea (客家擂茶) here. it's very different from what you're accustomed to, this cup of lui cha is more like the morning cereal drink and distinct hint of sweetness, it's very different from the hearty and savory thunder tea back in your home country.
it's quite fascinated to see and taste the things of hakka here.
