到婆罗洲岛马来西亚的沙巴省去玩，在沿海可以看到海滨住着千百户的水上人家。他们用竹木铁条构建房屋，并排搭在海面上，别有一番情趣。（回国之后，我便依此画了一些“棚屋图”。）
此画中的河岸好美，在棚屋的后面簇生着一大片花丛，此刻那儿正开着烂熠的紫红色花，花海的后面露出几幢美好的瓦屋，和前面棚屋的景色相互比美。
When I took a trip to Sabah State in Malaysia, I saw countless people with houses on the water along the coast. These people keep their houses above the water on stilts made of bamboo, wood, or steel. It's quite an interesting feature. (After returning to Taiwan, I made a few paintings of houses on stilts based on this .)
The coast is beautiful in this painting, and there are masses of flowers growing behind the houses. Some glowing purplish-red flowers happened to be open at that time. Some attractive tile roofs can be seen behind the flowers, and they form an interesting contrast with the houses on stilts in the foreground. ＠
