Places: Taroko (太鲁阁峡谷), Tienh Siang(天祥), Cisingtan Beach (七星潭海滩), Yu Bao Shop (御宝), Plaza International Hotel (通豪大飯店聳)
Today, we woke up at 7am; as usual have breakfast and then gather up to continue our journey with the rest of the group.
This is our tour guide, Yao Mummy giving us information on the places we are visiting.
The whole day, the rain and wind gushing non stop and one of our destination was closed due to the typhoon.
First stop was in Taroko (太鲁阁峡谷). The gorge was formed by rushing river waters which have cut straight through the marble and surrounded by subtropical forests. There are several notable scenic spots in and near the gorge. Due to raining, we just walk down and took some photographs before rushing back into the bus.
Raining season… but still must say cheese..
View from the bus.. raining
The gorge
We stop at Tienh Siang(天祥) to rest for some photo shooting, resting and drinking coffee.
Tienh Siang features a suspension bridge over the gorge, with a Buddhist temple and pagoda perched on the opposite side of the mountain. The Bridge of Motherly devotion is a popular spot of picnic, with a little bowed bridge across a small tributary.
Me with boy boy
The road…
The coffee shop
The next stop, we went to Cisingtan Beach (七星潭海滩) in Hualien to see the strong waves along the beach and also to feel the strong wind
See how strong the wind blows the trees…
Can you see the strong waves in the background?
My messy hair blown by the wind…
We saw reporter coming to this beach and the police told us to stay away from there as it is very dangerous. So we have no choice but to leave that spot and proceed to next stop.
Our next stop is Yu Bao Shop (御宝).
This is the shop where you can purchase Ling Zhi and other nutritional products.
Look at this guy who tells us the information on products sold.
See how big the real Ling Zhi is…
We bought Ling Zhi for TWD13000.
Name card of the shop
The lady who assist us in the shop.
Sooo big…
Helping him to shade from the sun… Haha…
After that we went for lunch. The place where we had our lunch is nearby the Marble Factory and there’s lots of marble craving statue around.
Some photos with the statue:
Haha, I’m Wong Fei Hong… (just kidding)
