Military Museum
This museum, perched on Five Old Men Mountains behind XMU,
is quite meaningful to me, given that 30 years ago I was in the U.S. Air
Force on the other side of the straits, tending missiles targeted at Xi¨¤m¨¦n.
Each time I see its tanks, rockets, cannon and missiles, I thank Heaven
I never actually fired on what is now my home.
After the military museum, take the right fork, descend the hill, take
a break in the ancient tea garden, then saunter down the beautifully laid
out trails through the gardens and past the Buddhist
nunnery (strategically separated by an entire mountain from N¨¢np¨³tu¨®
lest wifeless monks have nun).
Splash in the streams a bit, take
turns treading the footmill, enjoy the wide lawns and rose beds and orchids,
then head out the main gate. The Martyrs Memorial will be on your right,
but go straight and you¡¯ll come to Zh¨ngsh¨¡n Park,
and eventually to the harbor and G¨³l¨¤ngy¨³. Take the ferry; otherwise
it¡¯s a long swim.
