you've heard of this sculpture museum before, and now that you're in the northern part of taiwan and you're mobile with a rented car, so you include an overnight stop to jin shan which is basically the greater taipei around the yang ming shan on the east coast. this allow you to get to know juming and his work better....
it's a relatively long journey driving from sanyi to jin shan, hence naturally the first thing to do is to fill your stomach to replenish the energy to explore the compound. there's not much choice from the menu, so you choose the vegetarian lion's head with sweet potato rice, a thoroughfare of taiwan
after the meal, you started explore the museum, starting with the passage that finally leads you to the outdoor sculptures...
a series of installation called armies or soldiers. each soldier has a name but you wonder they're real name as kuomingtang's soldiers
and the other theme also around armies, soldiers, this time the sailors and the vessel
it's a beautiful day, in fact it became warm in the mid afternoon but the view is quite nice overlooking the coastal area and the sea at one side, but the other side is pretty much surrounded by the temples and tombs.
as for you, despite the beautiful scenery and playful sculptures at one side, your spirit is heavy and you could feel the spirit of dead is dominating the area....
set that aside, there's also indoor exhibition with juming's experimental wood craving
it's quite a refreshing museum and you loved the fact that some of the sculptures especially the taichi series has put you into play....
