★ The first-ever bilingual (Chinese/Japanese) publication documenting a Japanese person's "walk across Taiwan." ★ A record of Japanese writer Yusuke Tanaka's 180-day "Micro Pilgrimage" experience, covering over 3,000 kilometers across all 22 of Taiwan's special municipalities. ★ A groundbreaking publishing project featuring a three-book set: a magazine, a paperback, and a photo book. ★ A crowdfunding success story with millions raised, filled with touching and humorous tales of Taiwanese hospitality that have moved countless readers in both Taiwan and Japan. ★ Capturing the charm of everyday Taiwan, from grandparents and neighbors to children, offering a glimpse of the island's "B-grade" scenery that appeals to everyone. ★ Local "C-grade" cultural observations that offer a more authentic taste of Taiwan than even xiaolongbao or bubble tea. Co-created by Taiwanese and Japanese editors, this project invites you to rediscover "Deep Taiwanese Travel"! "Autumn Swordfish" magazine, specializing in deep Taiwan-Japan cultural exchange, has partnered with Japanese editor and writer Yusuke Tanaka to embark on a unique journey: the "Micro Pilgrimage," a complete walking tour across Taiwan. Traversing urban landscapes and rural villages, this project unveils a gradient of scenery between well-known attractions, exploring the deeply rooted local customs, culture, and history. Through a Japanese perspective, it presents a fresh travel concept, "Super New Taiwan Routes," featuring 8 major themes and 18 distinct routes, paying homage to Taiwan's iconic highways, Provincial Highway 1 and Provincial Highway 9. The rules of the "Micro Pilgrimage" are simple: 1. No riding in vehicles, not even for a second. 2. No sleeping bags; find accommodation independently or rely on the kindness of others. 3. Prioritize taking detours over covering long distances, to create more opportunities for serendipitous encounters. This is a journey that engages the mind, body, and soul, undertaken entirely on foot. In an era where "distant" places are easily accessible, seeing "deeply" requires a different approach. The answer lies in walking. Cultural resonance is on the way.
