Min Sheng Park

Once upon a time, there’s a little dreamer who was not familiar with the hometown where she grew up. Why? Well, practically she spent almost her school life in home and school. At that time, her life was ALL about studying. But anyway, now she is a 23-year-old young lady and she can’t be more ready to take a closer look at this city, with all the gears one needs to explore: a mobile phone with built-in camera, a city map, and scooter.

One day during the break between works, she felt sooooo sleepy and decided to head home on her scooter. But then even though with a 1:54 map of a 60 kilometer square city, she lost her way. When she finally got back on the main road which leads home, there’s only one hour left. (It takes her half hour to drive home from where she works) She gave up the idea of going home. But she ends up landing on a small and sort of deserted park.

Her journey all begun with it. It was a crisp winter afternoon. She started to walk from the very north end of this park and all the way she could hear the twittering made by the fallen leaves which were dragged all over by the breeze. This park is more like a path sandwiched between two rows of trees. She took out her cell phone and started to snap shots of the withered trees. To her surprise, they look gorgeous and strong in her camera. With this energy they conveyed to her, she took more. Passing several crossings of streets, she came to a micky mouse pool, whithout water in it. Then something distracted her attention from the gaze at the pool to the eavesdropping of birds chirpping. This is the only busy spot in the whole park. She quietly observed them and bore their images in her mind in order to check up what they are later. Though they are all black in feather but they can definitely stand out from the crowd with those tiny red beaks and elegant long tail. They're Black Bulbul. In spite of their lovely and adorable body, their taste preferences turn out to put them on the blacklist of farmers.

On the other end is a little playground for kids. Thanks to this park, she enjoyed a short escape from the day and got to touch nature one step closer. As a jia-yi-er, this a park she would recommend to all of you who come to JiaYi city. It's absolutely not among one of the best, but if you wish to enjoy a piece of quiet, then this is a pick.
