I'll still have to head north to go to school, but living in Xindian opens up exploring south. I rode south all the way to the Xindian MRT terminus station and kept going along the Xindian River and found it surprisingly beautiful and almost rural. Black & whites Nikon N70, Ilford XP2 Super.

3:43-3:47 p.m. - Xindian River from Beiyi Rd. 

Exploratory foray up Xinwu Rd., after which I'll go home and look at a map and find it goes to Wulai township (← in literary circles, that is called "foreshadowing").

4:22 p.m. - Open Sky Temple (開天宮) on Xindian Rd. off Beiyi Rd. 

Xindian Rd. A very cinemagenic road. Would be surprised if no local filmmaker shoots here.

4:53 p.m. - Taking the riverside bikeway home, passing Bitan bridge.

Close to 5:00 p.m. based on a digital shot also taken here.
