Xia x 3!

If you haven't had a chance to visit the town of Sanxia (三峽), get yourself there as fast as your feet will carry you. Its "Minquan Old Street" (民權老街)--painstakingly restored to Japanese colonial era glory--is packed with very cool restaurants, shops, galleries, and antiques malls. Touristy? Perhaps. But I don't care because it's awesome.
