Digest
In central Taiwan, the leading attraction is the rolling Alishan Mountain. It features thethriving sacred trees in primitive forests, mini trains in high mountain forests, sunrise,sea of clouds and the Sisters Lake. When climbing up the mountain, tourists can enjoythe culture of the Gaoshan ethnic group. The Sun Moon Lake is the largest high moun-tain lake in Taiwan (perimeter 35 km). The northern part of the lake is round like the sun,while the southern part is shaped like a crescent moon hence the name Sun MoonLake”.
Kenting in southern Taiwan is like the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. It lies at the foot ofthe mountain and is embraced by the sea. It is a popular beach, the only area borderingon the tropical region of Taiwan. It is home to the Eluanbi Lighthouse (Ngoluanpi Light-house), the largest lighthouse in the Far East. The Eluanbi Park is located in the southof Pingtung County. Eroded by strong wind, waves and rain for years, exotic limestonecaves have been formed.
Preface
Wang is known as a knight-errant in ~the world of cartoons because in the short span of 10 years hehas travelled alone close to 100,000 km, covering the major parts of the country. All along the way,he created many cartoons covering the customs, folklore and profiles of the places he visited. Whenhe was putting all these cartoons together into a book, I was invited to write a preface for it. I agreedreadily.
It is not easy for cartoons to cover the scenery of China. Wang is indeed a great man in this regard.His cartoons make it easy for Chinese readers to view their own country in a different light, andfor foreign readers to see China without a language barrier. With Wang as our tour guide all of thereaders can enjoy a happy trip around China.
Cartoons first appeared in the United Kingdom as early as the 18th century when critics madecomment on major events with drawings. To highlight the effect or views the drawings wereexaggerated. For instance, a man might have arms and fists which were made big and strong to showforce. As these strange drawings were loved by the public they found their way into newspapers andthis in turn made such drawings more popular among the public, h was then called “cartoon” inEnglish.
Believe it or not this time, Wang recorded his trips with cartoons complete with captions. It is indeeda new step for him. I hope Wang will cover more of China with his cartoons in the future.
