Original text/原文如下：

Anyone who is from Taipei would know that if you live in RenAi Road, you are likely to be very wealthy. Interestingly, @lydiachan recently blogged a story about "Lin An Tai Mansion" and their family is actually one of the bigger landlord within RenAi Road.

提到仁愛路，只要你是來自台北市，也會知道住在這裡的人非富則貴。有趣的是之前 @lydiachan 介紹的"林安泰古厝"，他們的家族正是其中一個在仁愛路的大地主。

Today I would like to take you to walk around and explore the surrounding and the landmarks within RenAi Road such that you would know the attractiveness of it.

今天，我想跟大家一起參觀一下這地方，好讓大家知道它的吸引力。我會從仁愛路四段出發，一直走至仁愛路三段新生南路交界，把沿途的景點和地標跟大家介紹。

If one lives in the core area within Taipei, we will make a joke that he is living in the "Sky Dragon Country", a slang term to describe a place where everyone is rich. Specifically, RenAi Roundabout is described as towards the "Sky Dragon Path". Because it links up with the most prosperous street within Taipei "DunHua South Road" and "ZhongXiao East Road".

住在台北的蛋黃區，我們會開玩笑的說他是來自"天龍國"，意思是說這個地區的人也很有錢。這裡是仁愛圓環，我們會叫這裡"天龍之路"，原因是這裡連接了台北市最重要的街道 "敦化南路" 和 "忠孝東路"。

I am sure people who love Taiwan would know their favourite tourist spot "The Elite Bookstore" is just nearby.

喜歡台灣的你，大約也知道附近有遊客最喜歡去的誠品書店。

One thing you may not know about Taiwan is that a lot of time, we will need to walk in alley where there is no road for pedestrian but it is completely different in RenAi road where it is designed to have a lot trees in the middle of the street so that you can relax and walk slowly. In Taiwan, we will call here the "Boulevard". Apparently, the road is designed based on the blueprint of "Arc de triomphe de l'Étoile" and "les Champs-Élysées". Even though it is nothing compare of that, you will feel energised after you take a walk in such environment.

有一件事可能大家不知道的。在台灣，我們走路的時間，大部分時間可能也是在小巷上行走，而它是沒有行人路的。但是仁愛路完全不一樣，我們可以看到沿途也有很多樹木，行走上來你會感覺很放鬆，我們叫這裡林蔭大道。據說這裡是以凱旋門和香榭大道的藍本建設的。

Even though the street is surrounded by some of the best restaurants within Taipei, but you could still find some restaurants full of history.

雖然這裡有各樣昂貴的餐廳，但是我們也可以尋找到一些充滿歷史的餐廳。

九如 - more than 50 years of history and their most popular dish is rice dumping.

九如 - 超過五十年的歷史，最有名的菜是粽子。

忠南 - also more than 50 years of history and their most popular dish is the "lion head ball"

忠南 - 也是超過五十年的老店，最有名的是獅子頭。

There are also some of the best private schools in the country.

這裡也有全台灣最有名的私家學校。

This is just outside of Fubon Financial and I am wondering why financial companies love to put 2 lions outside their office e.g. HSBC in Hong Kong and London.

在富邦金控外的獅子。奇怪的是為什麼銀行那麼喜歡獅子，如匯豐銀行。

Lastly, it won't be completed not mentioning the most prestigious landmark "Di Bao". Due to the price of the apartment, only the most powerful or famous people in Taiwan could afford to live here. The list includes: Dee Hsu, Terry Gou, Lien Chan and also the famous steemit blogger @deanliu (Just joking :))。
