That was fun! The first one taxed me a bit, but I eventually got numbers one, two, and five…I have never been to, nor heard of, the two forts.
What fun on New Years Eve! 新年快樂!

Great post David
That’s a really fun idea to post those images from Google Earth. I didn’t know the Taichung Station and I should have known Anping Fort since I’ve been there but I didn’t recognize it.

This is a fun and creative game to play David. Thanks a lot I really enjoyed it. You should try it again with other Taipei landmarks.

Thanks to everybody who tried the quiz and left a comment. I don’t think it was very easy. Anping Fort is not really that distinct on the snap shot from Google Earth. From above it doesn’t look much different from the average Taiwanese park.

Ha ha, that’s pretty cool David. Of course, I could only recognize the Taichung Station because I’ve driven under that blue bridge several times. Wishing you a Happy New Years!
