2026 Autumn Limited Ink- Yeh Liu

As autumn settles over this humid subtropical island, the sun softens its piercing rays, and the rain loses its unbridled summer wildness. Those who once sought refuge from the scorching heat now emerge from buildings and shadows. In this most comfortable time of the year, they venture outdoors to explore the season's most vibrant tapestry of colors.

This year, we embark on a journey that weaves through the mountains, seas, and time of Taiwan. In Yehliu, we witness the Queen of the rocky shore sculpted by time and monsoons, feeling the profound passage of millions of years. In Anping, we trace the gnarled roots of ancient trees and ruined walls bearing four hundred years of glory, savoring the mottled history beneath the setting sun. In Duoliang, we keep company with the abandoned station maintaining its quiet vigil over the boundless Pacific, anticipating the racing silhouette of a passing train. And in Sun Link Sea, the towering cedars and ethereal mist quietly wash our weary souls clean.

Let us set forth together, exploring the beauty of this land one step at a time.

Yeh Liu

Sixty-five years ago, a maiden standing guard by the coast was crowned by waves and time, ascending as the Queen of the rocky shore. With her visiting subjects, she shares castles forged by the earth, landscapes sculpted by the monsoons, and the profound shifting of seas and lands she has witnessed alone for millions of years.
