about this place sooner.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Would it have brought comfort or made me long for my garden?\u00a0 It was definitely a wonderful place to visit last Thursday.\u00a0 It is the now-open-to-the-public Official Residence Gardens.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Originally, the vast acreage was the main home of the Chinese leader who fled<\/strong> when the communists gained power (with the help of Russia).\u00a0 He established a temporary, or so was his plan, government on Taiwan.\u00a0 And either he or his wife liked to garden.<br \/>\nOf course, it will have changed some in the years since they were alive.\u00a0 We (Natalie, Carlie, and Greg\u2019s mom with me) spent two hours wandering around just gazing in appreciation and taking lots of pictures.<\/p>\n<p>I immediately compared it to Buchart Gardens on Vancouver Island, which is billed as a 55 acre garden.\u00a0 <strong>The Official Residence is supposedly about 40 acres.\u00a0<\/strong> It doesn\u2019t have as much variation in height, seeing that it wasn\u2019t built into a cement pit, but it is very well designed.<\/p>\n<p><strong> We were the only foreigners we saw there.\u00a0<\/strong> One elderly Chinese gentleman struck up a conversation with me.\u00a0 He had been to a few places in the eastern USA during his years in the business world.\u00a0 Several children on field trips said hello to me.\u00a0 One asked in Chinese if we were Americans.\u00a0 Another was apparently from a Japanese school.\u00a0 He stood right in front of me in a friendly, but confident way and said hello.\u00a0 I responded in kind.\u00a0 When I saw that he stayed there continuing direct eye contact, I asked him how he was.\u00a0 He then decided he was in \u2018over his head\u2019 and ran away laughing and calling \u201cSayonara!\u00a0 That\u2019s \u2018good bye!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong> I think the best thing to do is just show you the pictures.<\/strong> \u00a0 I hope you enjoy them half as much as I enjoyed being there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-593\" title=\"gardens 2\"
