Qingqing: Huahua, has the silvergrass started blooming recently?
Huahua: I think so. No wonder all my friends’ Instagram stories are filled with silvery-white flower fields.
Qingqing: Last year, I hiked the Caoling Historic Trail with my family. The whole field of silvergrass sparkled under the sunlight — it was beautiful.
Huahua: Do you have any photos? I’d love to see them.
Qingqing: I do, but it was super windy that day — my hair was even messier than the silvergrass.
Huahua: That’s more natural. Are you going to give it another try this year? I’m looking for someone to do an outdoor photo shoot — want to be my model?
Qingqing: Sure. I haven’t been hiking for a long time either. We can start the hike from Fulong, and we can even take some Fulong lunchboxes with us. When we take a break, we can find a spot to sit down, eat, and enjoy the view of the silvergrass.
Huahua: No problem — let’s head out this weekend then.

Many consumers are guilty of filling drawers or closets with old laptops, cellphones, fitness trackers and other electronic devices once they are no longer needed. It’s hard to know where to recycle such items, or it seems costly and inconvenient to do so. The world generates millions of tons of electronic waste — also called e-waste — each year. According to the UN’s most recent estimate, people worldwide produced 62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022, and only about 22 percent of it was properly recycled. The US’ Environmental Protection Agency estimates that less than a quarter of e-waste is
Travel fever is back, and it’s contagious. After years of being kept home during the COVID-19 pandemic, people are once again eager to explore the world. Rather than just book any trip, travelers are getting smarter about how they scratch that travel itch. Microcation Defined as four days or fewer and over 160km away from home, the microcation perfectly matches the post-pandemic mindset. After long periods of remaining indoors, people are making up for lost time by taking short, frequent getaways throughout the year. These brief trips avoid the work-life imbalance that comes with long absences. With only a few days away, one’s
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Gig Tripping “Gig tripping” combines concerts with travel. People fly to see their favorite artists perform — usually abroad—and spend a few days sightseeing before or after the show. While die-hard fans have done this since the 1960s, the post-pandemic travel boom changed the game. Even people who aren’t superfans are now booking international concert trips because they want to make the most of travel opportunities. This trend exploded in the US, as the math makes sense. Domestic concert tickets are so costly that flying abroad for the show plus tourism expenses often matches or even beats the price
