My days in Hualien P2

Finally after so long, i get to continue my posting on my Taiwan trips!

Still at Hualien, i really think it is de best part of Taiwan!
Let's start of with flowers..lotsa flowers


The driver took us to this park..its a visitor centre for the rural people and it is quite secluded..if you are with tour, i believed you cannot find this place.




And the beautiful view




This is my lifesaver cup of tea! I was so exhausted and this refreshes me.


COntinue with my tour at Taroko








七星潭, the wind is so strong!!! It is the only place i feel cold!!!






We are in a hurry to leave the place..so we cant enjoy this snack stall like the locals


After the sky is dark, i went to the city.




The night here is nice, it isnt as crowded as those in Taipei




And i found Porter Here!!!


They don allow me to take a picture..if not i can show you their range of display!


I took a rest here and had a hair cut...seriously the salon has a better service..and everyone of them has a personal tv for u....but i really think they better skills to cut my hair!


This is the best food i have tasted here so far! Beneath the ice is a very "melt in ur mouth" soya beancurb!

And finally we went back to our Minsu, Stone House
Saying bye to our Driver...who love to say "heyo"


The living Room




4 storey high


Greeted by "Xiao Hei", a pure breed Chow Chow


Our room, 2 king size bed!


Ready for fireworks!!!










Lastly before we sleep, Liu Ah yi, free us a KongMing lantern..which we shared with another couple..as such...we didnt dare to write much. I bet Vincent wanted to write, "Find me a Soul Partner" but was refrained due to shyness...haha, actually me too!!(My Dream Gal to appear soon!)
But it is okay, i asked for money then and indeed, i strike some 4D even when i am at Taiwan! Okay the next is to see if my career advancement will come true!


Oiling it...before lighting!


This is the couple that stayed here with us and we went for a one day tour together!




It went up and up and up!!!!


let me once again pray..pray for happiness!! and i hope i didnt make a wrong decision this time!

My Days in Hualien P1

Hualien is one of the most "looking forward to" place i wanted to go for this Taiwan trip. Listening to Fionis bragging about how nice the Minsu (Stone House) was and experiencing my terrible night in Taipei Hostel, it really make me feel like flying to Hualien immediately.

I was super tired on my first day in Hualien! However, the scenery and Taroko Gorge kept me going! I have so much pics taken here!

At the train station




Their train are mostly quite old but the toilets are super clean and there is a water dispenser for the commuters.


Stopping by Xin Cheng for a break!


Reaching Hualien!! Waiting for Liu Aunty to come fetch me.




Our first stop wasnt to the Minsu..but to Taroko with our cab driver who act as our local tour guide!


Taroko is famous for DaLI stone..and seriously, its a magnificent view of the Gorge, valleys and waterfall!






Me standing between the mountains


We visited in our first stop the Big Buddhism Temple on the top of the mountain. Took me awhile to climb my way up! Can you see the Pagoda?


Flowers were blooming well in this cold weather!




And here we finally reaches the temple!
It was actually a sunday when we were here and there was a celebration. Somehow we met a taiwanese ah yi who was so welcoming that gives us books, water, sweets, and alot of others..and kept asking us to stay for the vegetarian meal.




And here we went into the danger zone...heard that this place has 2 casualty already both hit by the rocks that fell from the mountain. Frankly the helmet is useless as you can clearly see the impact of the fallen rocks on the floor..




They cordon off areas where rocks are bound to fall on, can see all the dent on the floor. The guide told us to keep moving, and don't stop at one area. All the time, we just stay near to the rock..


Can see i am all ready for the falling rocks!


This Vincent very daring...even with the sign there, he still go ahead!


This is what Taroko is famous for!


not sure for what reasons, we are not allowed to cross this bridge!


I wanted to show more pics but unfortunately, my flickr can't upload any pictures due to some network problem and i am so tired after this morning session!

Oh yah...i went for my first Paid Photography assignment!! I am so exhausted and i am sure, this will be my last! haha
