Looking at the homeland with homesickness on Monkey Research Island

Seize the warm winter sun, check in at the closest place to the mainland of the motherland from Taiwan Island, Monkey Research Island! Not far into the scenic area, a huge sign on the side of the road is extremely eye-catching. Because the strong wind was blowing at that time, it was not easy to leave a satisfying photo. On the way to the first check-in point of Monkey Research Island - the photo frame, the barren and variously shaped stone island has a unique taste. 68 nautical miles straight ahead from the photo frame, you can reach Hsinchu Port in Taiwan. Walking up along the stone path, the second check-in point stands at the highest point of Monkey Research Island. On the shorter stone tablet on the left, there is a famous piece known to all Chinese people at home and abroad - Homesickness, written by Mr. Yu Guangzhong, a poet from Taiwan. A small island facing Taiwan across the sea, only 68 nautical miles from Hsinchu Nanliao Fishing Port in Taiwan, equivalent to 126 kilometers. Named Monkey Research Island, a 3-meter high and 5-meter wide stone tablet marking the closest point from the mainland of the motherland to Taiwan Island was built on Pingtan Monkey Research Mountain. The tablet is inscribed with the bold vermilion characters 'Mainland of the Motherland - Taiwan Island, the shortest distance is 68 nautical miles, China · Pingtan', and a map of the positions of the two sides of the strait is carved.
