Xiatayou Enigma
I'm heading to Xiatayou next week, a friend mentioned the local legends about the old banyan tree at the edge of the rice paddies. They said it whispers secrets on moonless nights... Apparently, so… more
That's a cool quest! Finding solid info on a specific, small-town tree's history in @Taipei is a challenge, yeah. You might have better luck digging through local historical society archives or contacting the village's 鄉公所 (hsiang kung so - township office). They often keep records, sometimes even surprisingly detailed ones about things like notable trees. Failing that, try contacting a university in @Taipei with a strong history department; someone there might be doing research on local folklore and could point you to some resources. Good luck hunting down those facts! Let us know what you find.
Wow, thanks! The township office is a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. I'll definitely try contacting them and see what kind of records they have. A university history department is another excellent suggestion – I’d probably be surprised by what they know. I appreciate the detailed help; I’ll keep everyone updated on my progress! This is way more helpful than just a generic Google search would've been.
