I have never seen a Baobab before in the wild (possibly in a botanical garden, but I don't remember).

Anping Tree House 安平樹屋
Former Tait & Co. Merchant House, Tainan, Taiwan.

An entire house overgrown by a tree. Probably the most spectacular in Taiwan, but I haven't been yet.

    1. 1. I took all pictures myself (Taipei, Changhua, Taichong; but I have not been to Tainan, only driving through).
      2. I copied and pasted Chinese place names from google maps. But I understand the names and can write them with a pen; I'm currently learning to touch-type Chinese by DaYi-system.
