I had lived in Shiji for fifteen years where there used to be flood when typhoons raged, which always annoyed the residents living in a lower region. However, recently with the successful repair of Keelung River, this annoying problem no longer existing.
One of Shiji’s features is the Neighborhood Bus. It is free and as long as you beckon, the bus would stop. I often got on the bus to go to school or Shiji night market. On the bus, elderly people sometimes chatted with me. Although we did not know each other, we felt like a big family.
Another feature is Dai-ji Mountain. There is magnificent view on the summit; hence many elderly people and children like to go hiking. When I was an eighth-grader, in the summer vacation, my friends and I usually went to Dai-ji Mountain. Reaching the top, we bought refreshing cola and played in the nearly temple, which left me a unforgettable impression. Always, we also played badminton in the gym located in Dai-ji Mountain.
Although I have moved out of Shiji, there are many sweet memories about Shiji!
