Taiwan - Day 3
Taiwan - Day 3
we set off early 8am in the morning,
took a 2 1/2 hours train ride down to HuaLien
& had sushi while standing in front of all the seated passengers.
"a hungry man is an angry man"
so let's just not starve ourselves!!
train operator waiting for everyone to get onboard
could it be one of the mountains that we're gona hike?
we took the public bus up to Taroko National Park,
& approached the TNP HQ to enquire on nearest tourist attractions.
"1st, walk through the tunnel of roughly 1km & you'll find a hiking trail"

"1st, walk through the tunnel of roughly 1km & you'll find a hiking trail"
the tunnel is dark, long and creepy....
any vehicle passing through will bring forth roaring engine sounds
& there are even bats hanging upside down, trying to catch some nap time
1km tunnel with parts of it in almost total darkness;
we finally see light at the end of the tunnel
we finally see light at the end of the tunnel
in my mind, "the group of tourists should be heading the same trail"
Shakadang Trail, here we go~~
nature at its best!!
it looks refreshing & we cant wait to find our way down to the stream
clear icy cold water that refreshes our mind & body
stream of gushing water
some Korean chicks
say cheese~~
some adventurous youths trying to climb rock & roar like tarzan
is there any other trail that we can go?
on our way back, we saw a bunch of China tourists.
no idea what they doing in the middle of the road.
taking photos with iPad??
anyway, we initially planned for some whale watching out in the sea,
but we realized that we didn't have enough time & it was drizzling on our way back.
so we spent the rest of the time waiting in 7-11 for our train to go back to Taipei
play with camera, chit chat bout our individual army experience, bla bla bla~~

proof of visit to XiMenDing =)
one of the old buildings in the area
on the way back, TienBoon was craving for cakes at this cafe....
85 Degree Celsius
btw, we saw a show on tv the previous night,
"Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations"
& it was talking bout Japanese chef's freshly made soba noodles.
thus, it made it to our list of cravings & will be served into our tummy
