That was the first time for me to Taitung. I was very impressed by the seascape when I looked down
from the height. Blue sky and blue ocean combined together. It was really amazing!

I think Brown Avenue is the best natural preservation in Taiwan. The scenary changes with seasons,
and the colors change from green to brown.

Green and yellow are the colors in my memory. When spring comes, all kinds of crops like paddy, corns, vegetables and fruit covered the field. It was full of vitality and greenery everywhere.
Every summer and fall, I help my grandma plant and harvest her crops. That makes me feel satisfied and comfortable.

In my childhood memory, my family took me to the beach on Saturdays and Sundays. I was very happy.

In my memory, our family went to the beach to play with water. The beach is very beautiful!
-Hebe Cheng, Taiwan
I remember that it was a hot and humid summer afternoon. On the way to Yilan with my family, there was a lazy turtle lying on the beach to enjoy the sunshine under the beautiful blue sky along with light blue and green seawater.
That stunning sunshine and graceful waves are still vivid in my mind.

One day I went to Penghu with my family for snorkeling. I saw the blue-green seawater down below the ocean. Moreover, there were many kinds of colorful corals swaying back and forth with the sea water. The stunning scenery is still unforgettable for me. Therefore, the color of my memory is colorful.

Blue is the color in my memory. My parents used to take me to the beach. We loved playing at the beach when I was a little girl. The clear water reflected the blue sky, glittering in the sun. That's beautiful!
Yellow is another color in my memory. The dazzling orange sun shined on the golden sand. The yellow sand was very soft. It's comfortable to hold it in my hand.

In my memory, my dad and I were fishing and watching seagulls flying at sunset. It's a symbol of freedom. The sunset of freedom is so beautiful.

My family took me to Alishan for its famous sunrise in a silent night. I watched countless starry stars shining like fireflies in the sky. It made me feel calm and peaceful. Therefore, the color of my memory is dark blue.
-Shain Wu, Taiwan
The color of my memory is orange red because my parents and I watched the sunset of Alishan together. I was amazed by the breathtaking scenery. The sky was dyed orange red by the sunset, and the horizon seemed to burst into flames.
-Kiki Lin, Taiwan
The color of my memory is white, blue and gray.
I lived in an apartment with my family. I could see white clouds and blue sky as I looked up. It made me feel comfortable and chill.
However, the sky became dirty and gray little by little because of the air pollution.
Then my memory turned into gray as well.

1. When I was a little girl, our family usually went camping together. That was a sparkling night. The sky was studded with twinkling stars when I looked up. Everything was so beautiful!
2. During the trip, we also enjoyed the sea of daylilies in Jhihben, Taitung. The oranged-colored flowers were blooming through both sides of the road. That was spectacular!
3. After we were back to the campsite, the camp owner shared his home-grown grapes with us, who were exhausted from playing all day. The grapes were really juicy and sweet. Yum yum!!
