The new roads have certainly brought in a group of immigrants anxious to escape from Taipei City and return to nature. But at the same time, verdant Mt. Kuanyin-named for its uncanny resemblance to the deity Kuanyin-is covered with columbariums and cemeteries. Even Kuanyin, worshipped for her limitless compassion and mercy, must be creasing her brow at this rampant overuse of the mountain.
聯外道路固然送進一批希望遠離台北市，享受自然的新移民，卻也迎進了一堆「另一個世界」的「故人」在八里定居，翠綠的觀音山，到處可見靈骨塔、墳墓林立，濫葬之嚴重，恐怕連慈眉善目的觀音都要皺眉頭。
