There's nothing famous in Linbian. Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area extends into Linbian township, but the main entrance is in Donggang, further west. 林邊沒有知名的景點. 大鵬灣國家風景區有部分屬於林邊, 但是它的大門跟遊客中心都在更西邊的東港.
According to the last census, there are 17,238 people living in Linbian. As you might expect, most of these people live near Highway 17, which divides the township in two. 上次的人口統計顯示林邊的人口有17,238人. 大多數的人口居住在把林邊鄉分成二個部分的台17線附近.

This is in Shuili Village, near the coast. The village is surrounded by cemeteries, solar panels and ponds like this one. Many different varieties of fish are raised in these ponds. 這是靠海的水利村. 這裡被墳墓, 太陽能板跟這樣的魚池包圍. 附近的魚池養了很多種魚.

It's not the most scenic stretch of coastline, but there are a few of homestays popping up around here. The ferry to Xiaoliuqiu isn't far off, and many people enjoy the ocean view. 這附近的海岸不是最美麗的, 可是當地仍有些民宿. 東琉線船運中心離這邊很近; 很多人也喜歡來這邊看海.
Closer to downtown Linbian is the "Seadawn Seafood Processing Culural Center." Fishing might not be a big part of Linbian's economy, but fish farming definitely is. 靠近林邊市區有鮮饌道海洋食品文化館. 海上捕撈漁業可能不是林邊的主要經濟發展, 但養殖漁業的重要性是無庸置疑的.
The main entrance. The dusty octopus in the back makes sense, but a dolphin? Dinosaurs? A... fox? What kinds of animals are being processed in this facility, and should the rest of us be worried? 文化館的大門. 後面沾滿灰塵的章魚在這裡我可以理解, 可是海豚呢? 恐龍? 狐狸?

Rice, betel nut trees and banana trees are grown in this area. 附近的稻米, 檳榔樹跟香蕉.
These winding roads/paths between the fields are fun. I don't know why farmers in this area grow bananas and betel nut together. Maybe it's easier on the soil. 我很喜歡田中的通道. 我不知道為什麼農夫把香蕉樹和檳榔樹一起種的原因. 對土壤比較好嗎?
