Hello Kitty in Maobitou Park, kenting

When Hello Kitty contemplates the meaning of life, it's always with a scenic view.

As I ventured further into Maobitou Park, I couldn't resist setting up another photo op for my travel buddy, Hello Kitty. There she was, surveying the grand expanse of the ocean like a tiny, plastic philosopher. Perched on a wooden platform, she looked out over the cliffs, as if contemplating the mysteries of the universe—or perhaps just wondering why I keep dragging her on these trips. The wind was relentless, whipping through my hair and making me question my life choices. But the view was worth every gust. The cliffs stood tall and unyielding, a testament to nature's raw power. Below, the ocean roared and crashed against the rocks, a symphony that was both intimidating and oddly comforting. It was like nature's way of saying, 'I could ruin your day, but I'll let you enjoy this moment instead.' A group of fellow adventurers had gathered on the pathway below, probably trying to capture their own perfect Instagram shots. One guy was doing his best 'I'm too cool for safety' pose on a rock, while another seemed to be having an existential crisis about whether to take a selfie or just enjoy the view. Ah, the modern dilemmas of travel. With Hello Kitty safely back in my bag, I took one last look at the breathtaking scene. It was the kind of place that made you want to pause and reflect—or at least pause long enough to take a dozen photos. As I turned back towards the main path, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace. Or maybe it was just the realization that I was far from the chaos of everyday life. Either way, it was a win. But of course, no adventure is complete without a minor crisis. Just as I was about to leave, a particularly bold seagull decided to make a dive for my snack. I managed to fend it off, but not before it gave me a look that said, 'This isn't over.' Ah, nature. Always keeping you on your toes.
