People say that remaining a piece of pure land in western Taiwan is due to Puli's bad communications. This is just like those Western people who think that the preservation of the beautiful cities o f Eastern Europe is a benefit of the shortcomings of the communist economic system.
人說埔里為西部留下一片淨土，是得「交通不便」之利，就像西方人總認為東歐國家保存下來的美麗城市，乃拜「共產制度下經濟窘境」之賜。
