Interested in sculptures？ Then Sanyi is the place for you！ This small town in Miaoli County is famous in Taiwan for its wood carving. The people of Sanyi have been carving wood for over 400 years. The carvers there are some of the quickest and best in the world.
If you watch the carvers in Sanyi， you will see their unusual carving style. They get their ideas for what they carve from the shape of the wood. At the Museum of Wood Sculpture， you can see hundreds of examples of the Sanyi style of wood carving.
But that is not all there is to see and do in Sanyi. Sanyi is also known for being home to many Hakka people. Visit the town and you can enjoy many delicious Hakka foods， like pickled vegetables or Lei Cha， a special Hakka tea.
The best time to visit Sanyi is early summer. That is when the trees are covered with white and yellow blossoms. When the wind blows， the blossoms from the trees fall to the ground like snow！ The beauty of “snow”falling in summer is a sight that you definitely should not miss！
三义：木雕山城的夏之雪
对雕刻感兴趣吗？三义正是你的好去处！这个小镇位于苗栗县，在台湾以木雕闻名。三义的居民从事木雕工作已有四百多年。在那儿，有些雕刻师堪称世界上技艺最优秀、雕刻最迅速的好手。
如果你观察三义的雕刻家，你会发现他们有着特殊的雕刻风格。他们从木头的形状上获取灵感。在木雕博物馆里，你可以看到无数充满三义风格的木雕作品。
不过在三义，你的所见所闻远非这些，它还是众所周知的客家之乡。游览这座小城时，你可以品尝到许多美味的客家食物，例如泡菜或一种特殊的名为“擂茶”的客家茶。
游览三义的最佳时间是初夏，那时这里的树上会长满白色和黄色的花儿，风一吹，这些树上的花朵便会像雪花一般飘洒到地上。你绝不能错过这幅夏天的美丽雪景！
