Our Days in Dongshi

Dongshi is a coastline township in Taiwan, famous for its fresh fish and sweet, fat oysters. Local children learn to be independent from an early age, not only cooking for themselves, but also helping their parents out, only enjoying themselves after work is done. They love riding around together on their bicycles and sometimes play by the embankment, watching the sunset and enjoying the rare leisure time.
