Taiwan East & South 18-19 Apr 2008

At Hualien, we went on an eating spree the whole morning; tasting all sorts of food we could lay on hands on. The best was the silky smooth Won Ton. Apparently, the stall has been in operation for over 3 generations and enjoyed the continual patronage of CKS and family members.

It was a welcome change in scenery when our bus took the coastal road southwards to Jhihben and Kenting for a night each, before swinging northwards to Alishan.

Along the way, we explored some scenic spots, namely iping (Stone Stairs Platform), Baxian (Eight Immortals) Caves, Amei Aborigine Cultural Village, Tropic of Cancer Sundial Tower, Sansientai (Three Fairies Island), Shuiwangsanliu (Water running up), Siaoyeliou (Little Fossil Rocks), Eluanbi (Taiwan’s Tip) Park, Maobitou (Cat’s Nose) and Bai Sha (White Sand) Beach. Also, we did stop by Donghe to taste its famous meat dumplings (pau).

Generally, this leg of the trip could be considered the most relaxing.
