Diligent Property Exploitation

Yilan County （宜蘭縣） is becomingly an increasingly popular tourist destination in Taiwan, and with fresh air, stunning coastlines, well maintained hiking trails, affordable and luxurious hot springs, a wealth of culture (from the National Center for Traditional Arts 國立傳統藝術中心 to aboriginal communities abound), and great food, quite rightfully so.

In addition to tourism, building up-scale houses nestled in rice paddies with mountains and Turtle Island 龜山島 in the background is also all the rage. Friends who lived here just a year ago have told me they are surprised at the changing scenery, once flat, now speckled with houses.

Well, so it goes with any kind of development. When is too much too much? Not for a while I'd imagine if the business philosophy and mission statement of this real estate company really have any relationship to their English name: Diligent Property Exploitation.

Thanks to Meg for documenting this one for us.
