      <description><![CDATA[Every winter in Taiwan, people make the same journey: north from Taichung, up into the hills of Miaoli County, to Dahu. They come for strawberries.

The numbers alone make clear that this small township, spread across 90.84 square kilometers in the southern reaches of Miaoli County, built something real.]]></description>
