Maokong
Maokong literally "cat empty" is located in Wenshan District of Taipei, Taiwan. The area used to be the biggest tea growing area of Taipei. There are many intertwining footpaths which have been used to transport tea. Now, it is a popular place for tea culture and viewing the night scenery of Taipei City. The name comes from "jiâu-khang" in Taiwanese Hokkien, which means "crease aperture" and refers to pothole formations. During Japanese rule it was changed to the similar sounding Maokong.comment | share |
