Description

Puli is a small town in central Taiwan. A 50-minute drive from Taichung, it is a favourite stop for tourists going to or from the famous Sun Moon Lake. Reputably, it has the best quality of water and therefore the prettiest girls. Rice wine also comes from the good water, and Puli Brewery is also popular in town. Geographically, Puli is located at the centre of a basin surrounded by mountains with high humidity. Foggy and misty scenes are common; one may easily enjoy the changing patterns from any window.

“Puli water/ quietly flowing in my dream/ through spring and summer/ autumn and winter too…”

From 王灝 《埔里水篇》 http://art.pulinet.com.tw/wang/2-2-1-5.htm. English translation by Desmond Hui.

埔里是臺灣中部的一個小鎮,離台中約五十分鐘車程,是到著名景點日月潭旅遊必經之地。埔里據說有最好品質的水,故此也盛產美女。此外因為有好水,所以這裡生產的酒也十分有名,埔里酒廠也是旅遊勝地。埔里在地理上是盆地的中央,四週被山嶺包圍,空氣濕度較高,故此常常出現千變萬化的雲霧景緻,在室內凴窗便可觀賞。

「埔里水 隱隱仔來流入夢... 流過春夏 也流過秋冬...」
