A refreshing summer sky and a Marker of stopping. When I was a student, at the end of August, I hoped that the summer Vacation would not end. I was thinking, "It's time, stop." Adult, it's strange and interesting to wish for faster progress. I wonder if it is because of such feelings that I unconsciously take pictures of the Marker of "Stop".

Waiting for the rice harvest, the path that runs straight through the golden rice fields and the blue sky that can be seen beyond. I could feel the end of summer and the visit of autumn. However, the temperature was 37 degrees Celsius, and the sunlight was so strong that I felt murderous intent. The gap between the scenery and the eyes was amazing. I wonder if autumn will really come...

(1) During the summer, Taiwanese students staying in Tateyama experienced the Tateyama Bay Fireworks Festival. We received wonderful photos, videos, and impressions taken, so we will introduce them! Xiangyun The fireworks festival in Tateyama was very exciting. Fireworks in Japan last for a whopping 1 hour, while major events in Taiwan (for example, New Year's Eve fireworks) last only about 5 minutes, and I was very surprised by the difference. The feature of Tateyama's fireworks is that they are launched over the Ocean, and the range of fireworks is so wide that they bloom all over the place in an instant, so it was so Fresh and spectacular that I didn't know where to look. In addition, everyone was lying down most of the time to watch it because of the Appreciation on the sandy beach, which was very comfortable. Intoxicated by the romantic atmosphere of the moment, I felt that the Tateyama fireworks festival had all the necessary elements for romance. The festival stalls also added to the dreamy atmosphere, and the colorful and rich aroma made me want to eat anything. In particular, there were many takoyaki stalls, so I just bought a box and tasted it. The owner was very kind, and even though I couldn't understand the language, he treated me warmly, which warmed my heart. Nature made me smile while walking, and the delicious taste made this night even more unforgettable. The Tateyama Fireworks Festival is truly exhilarating. I was amazed that Japanese fireworks can last for a whole hour, especially compared to major celebrations in Taiwan—like New Year’s Eve—that only last about five minutes. This difference really shocked me. What makes the Tateyama fireworks special is that they explode over the sea, creating a vast display that bursts in all directions at once, making it hard to know where to look. It’s both novel and spectacular. Watching from the beach, where most people lie down comfortably, adds to the relaxing atmosphere. The romantic mood at that moment is intoxicating, as if the Tateyama fireworks festival embodies all the elements needed for romance. The food stalls at the festival add to the dreamlike feeling, with their colorful displays and enticing aromas making everything tempting to eat. There were many takoyaki (octopus ball) vendors, and I couldn’t resist buying a box to try. The vendors were very friendly, warmly interacting with me despite the language barrier, which made me feel especially welcomed. As I strolled around, I found myself smiling unconsciously, and the delicious tastes made the evening even more unforgettable. Tateyama fireworks大會讓人興奮不已。 Japan的smoke 花竟然能持續長達一小時,對比台灣重大節日(如跨年)只有約五分鐘,這樣的差異讓我相當震surprise。 Tateyama fireworks的特別之處在於它在Ocean 綻放,smoke 花面積廣闊,一瞬間四處綻放,讓人不知該望向哪裡,未新奇又壯觀。 加上是在沙灘上欣賞,大家幾乎都躺著看,格外愜意。 那一刻的浪漫氛圍令人沉醉,彷彿Tateyama的fireworks節集了浪漫所需的全元素。 祭典上的攤販更增添了夢幻感,五彩繽紛、香氣四溢,讓人看什麼都想吃。 賣章魚燒的攤位特別多,我忍不住買了一盒品嚐。 店家非常熱情,即使語言不通,仍親切地與我互動,讓人倍感溫暖。 逛的時候,不自覺就會露出笑容,而那些美食的滋味,也讓這一晚更加難忘。
