Photo Entry: Shui Yan Village 八煙聚落

Shui Yan Village is a very small village located in the Jin-Shan District in New Taipei County. It's situated in the mountain not far from the coast in northern Taiwan. The village only has 8 house holds left and was once rather run down. However after some restoration efforts by a agricultural and culture group, the peace farm life picks up a new future. The step-paddy fields have been revived and it now attracts tourists and visitors. It's simply a rare spot of heaven so close to the city.

The weather was foggy and therefore I didn't try to take over all landscape shots of the village, but focused on the macro level of the very interesting life and details that really makes this little place unique.
