What does the Local Guides Programe mean to me:It's my cloud library!

Hello guys! I am Cen-Fang, a level 8 Local Guide from Taiwan.

I usually check ratings and information on Google Map before traveling, and made a list for the trip. It’s very convenient for foreigners to explore a whole new city.

To help more people better understand and enjoy new places, I started to add ratings ,upload pictures and comments on Google Map since 2018,and made a great success!(by the way,I think price is very important information ,that’s why I usually add price or special sale information in my comments.) It’s also good for promote my hometown to the world.

Taiwan is a beautiful country , an island in the Pacific Ocean , known historically as Formosa. The capital ,Taipei city, is surrounded by mountains with Yangmingshan National Park which is the best destinations of flowering viewing in Taipei. The mountains cover two-thirds of the country’s terrain so that Taiwan is such a hiking paradise. On top of that ,Taroko National Park is Taiwan’s most stunning national park, the beauty of the east coast will leave you speechless.

Taiwanese food is incredibly tasty and affordable.Traditional Chinese food, exotic cuisine and night market snacks make Taiwan an unmatched culinary paradise.

I got more and more pictures views and comments after become a Google Local Guide and got feedback from restaurant owners.“Thanks for detailed description and ratings. We will do our best to keep quality. Hope to see you again”, one of them said. It makes me feel that will be great impetus to restaurants owners by posting reviews on Google map.

I found not only my action helped many people travel to the places I’ve been to but also make me enjoy visit more attractions.Also the reason I improve my photography skills and learn how to film a video.

Besides, I’m such a scatterbrain haha! I forgets things very easily, to be a Local Guide can help me backup memories on the Internet .All I have to do is type in keywords then I can check memories anytime and anywhere!
