Midtown, Taiwan 埔里 PULI -part 1

Land of Taiwan is shaped like a yam, but it also resembles Manhatten, NYC~100%~ Our smart town work project allowed us to discover the beauties of PULI in just 2 days, 1 night! PULI is the midtown of manhatten, right in the middle of the land of Taiwan. Midtown NYC is one of the busiest hot spot where times square, broadway shows are clustered with tourists! PULI on the other hand is a town of passing, tourists find it a convenient place for a short stopover ie: bathroom break, one stop shopping. Our trip to PULI is to gather more knowledge of this little town and brainstorm possibilities of transforming PULI to a smart town.

PULI is well-known for it's wine-factory 酒廠 & alcoholic chinese sausage + ice bars..
