il Giardino Romantico

This is the world famous Chiufen. It is the setting of the famous film 'City of Sadness', one, I had to admit, I had only seen once at a time when I had not yet learned how to appreciate it. Travellers from Taiwan and abroad love to come here. Although many complain that the place has become way too commercialised, to me, some things will never change - the innate historical and cultural atmosphere hidden within.

這就是世界知名的觀光景點—九份。也是電影『悲情城市』的拍攝地點。不過我必須坦承，這部電影我只看了一次，而且是在我年少無知（現在還是很無知）的時候看的所以還不懂得欣賞（現在就會懂嗎？）。台灣以及各國觀光客都會來這裡玩。許多人抱怨這裡已經太商業化。但我的見解不同。有些東西是永遠都無法改變的，那就是這些地點隱藏的歷史以及文化背景。

Is it because I had spent the majority of my childhood outside Taiwan, that I hardly recognise of these goodies?  
是因為從小花太多時間在國外所以不記得這些東西嗎？還是這到底是哪一個年代的東西啊？？
