Thanks for these, Taiwan looked really good.

There are still quite a lot of these old houses, hope they are all preserved and get renovated.

it's sad to say, but keelung should have remained what it used to be in this era...taipei city looked like a big township, and i think kmt government should have kept and renovated the historic downtown and built modern building around.

but the atmosphere sounds a bit heavy and dusty.

Hmm... it's ironic an anti-communist propaganda slogan was written in Simplified Chinese (or at least with some simplified Chinese characters)

I don't know when exactly this picture was taken but it might be even before simplified characters were introduce in China in 1956. That would be even more ironic :)
