As a perfect spot for cooling off in summer, the 'Tsui Feng Waterfall' in Taipei City offers a golden natural beauty akin to an oil painting scene, making it a sought-after summer escape and a dreamy photoshoot location. Located in Beitou District, Taipei, the waterfall boasts a natural golden landscape due to iron-magnesium minerals in the rocks oxidized by long-term creek erosion, resembling the famous Rueifang Golden Waterfall. Visitors can capture stunning photographs by including the golden rocks, blue-green water pool below the waterfall, and adjacent trees in the frame, using long-exposure shots to capture the waterfall's delicate flow. Safety precautions must be taken when hiking to the waterfall from Tianmu's ancient trail, watching out for slippery moss-covered rocks and changing creek conditions.

A Taiwanese woman, Ms. Li, felt humiliated when she was instructed to strip naked and undergo an inspection by two female customs officers upon arrival in Palau for a diving trip with friends, despite not having any prohibited items. The incident left her in tears, prompting her to vow that this trip to Palau would be her first and last. The customs search was authorized, but the invasive nature of the inspection, including demands to check private areas, was deemed excessive. The Taiwan Foreign Ministry expressed concern immediately, explaining it was not discriminatory treatment. The woman spent over NT$70,000 for the trip and was left feeling unfairly treated, with the situation reportedly triggered by a previous incident involving a Chinese woman attempting to breach customs. This encounter has shed light on stricter customs checks in Palau recently, causing distress to tourists like Ms. Li who had never faced such treatment in her multiple previous international diving trips.
