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
