The Mediterranean Sea in Taiwan: Qinbi, a village of stone houses
Qinbi has the most well preserved traditional “Mindong” buildings. Developed along steep hills, the village boasts plenty of old houses built with granite stones. In early days, the villagers made a living on catching shrimps. With time, many moved out and lots of houses became empty. Through systematic refurbishment, today, the houses serve as B&B and arts and cultural spaces, regaining their old-time charm. Why not meander through this hillside village and appreciate the interesting wartime slogans posted on house walls - what a trip back to the past.
