About East Longitudinal Valley
The bloom of cosmos and rapeseed in East Longitudinal Valley (Huadong Valley; East Rift Valley 花東縱谷) is gorgeous. These are great green manure planted after rice has been harvested, also the scenic view for tourists. If you come to the valley in winter, there should be many colorful fields presented to you.
I had a road trip between Chishang (池上) and Yuli (玉里) in 2009 when the railway was not electrified yet. The image of a train passing by the field of flowers is probably an iconic but old-fashioned composition favoured by a photography hobbyist like me. But since the poles were erected along the railway a few years later, this scene is not the same anymore.
