What does the Local Guides program mean to you? Can I ask you about your hometown?

Hi,I’m Heng

I’m proud to be a Local Guide,I will show you my favorite.

In Taiwan, my hometown is not a big city. Besides grocery shopping, people hardly go out. Even when we going out to buy something, we usually go home after shopping.

Therefore, there is no scenic spot to go on holiday. After I became a college student, I found the plan of local guides on Google map. This plan made me having a new idea, which is to promote my hometown.

From that time on, whenever I visit somewhere in my hometown, I will think about how I should introduce that place, post the introduction on Google Map for sharing,I know people don’t stay here for a long time, but I hope to be recommended from local guide to push some of the attractions to incur people,maybe I can make my hometown more and more crowed.

Like the attractions in this photo,here is National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute,there are often exhibitions and market of art in weekend,so I will tell everyone what characteristics I know and they can come here to enjoy in life.

The next photo is ramen shops call Mien Wu San,open in a small place,when I knew there were not many guests to now many people go to eat every night, whenever someone ask me what ramen is delicious, I must directly recommend this shop to him, this shop is the first in my mind.

This plan allows you to pay attention to the places you would n’t normally notice, let hidden attractions be found, and you can go out and enjoy life on holidays, not just facing the TV, computer and mobile phone at home.I like nature, endless paddy and night views, I also hope that through the local guide program, more people will like to enjoy the countryside scenery.
