This was the first place we visited when we were in Taiwan. A beautiful reservoir called Yong-He. A simply decorated cafe where you can rest and have lunch in serenity. To avoid ruining the particular calmness of the experience, this post will be pictures, mostly.

三灣鄉的大池塘
Mr. Bob and Madeline - our fabulous tour guide and hostess.
After lunch we took a walk around the manmade pond. Here is Henry taking off...
...because, "Look, mama! A duck!" How could he not want to chase after the duck, right?
The duck is smart... it hid itself under the porch so Henry couldn't get to him.
I think we single-handly provided enough fish food for the entire population of this pond for at least one week. Who knew feeding fish can be so much fun!
My sister, niece and Henry feeding the koi fish.
And they went wild when the fish food was toss in the pond! Aren't the colors beautiful?
Ah, more ducks. Trying their luck with Henry, perhaps?
Run, Duckie, Run!
Time to take a break on the hill.
Henry stood on a suspended bridge and it's a good thing that it's sturdily built because Henry ran and jumped and no one was hurt.
The owner of the cafe knelt next to Henry, together they made sure the fish of this pond was well-fed.
