Taiwan-Hualian-Tagoro National Park-七星潭

Finally my thumb drive is back... yeah... the owner of Suto home at Hualian was so kind to ask 1 of their S'porean guest to bring it back to me. Really very grateful to these ppl. There are so many nice pic & memories inside, it will be upsetting if I lost it.

Pic was taken at Tagoro, 1 of the famous spots in Hualian. The sight is full of rocky mountains & waterfall.

Look at this rock, you shld see a tiger face.

and this is a Devil face on the rock, if you can't see pls let your imagination run wild a bit : }

and a giant rat....

a Red Indian.

Still can't see? how abt this Orang Asli? hahaha... if still can't see huh...then you better so go for eyes check up.. hahaa : D

Don't worry this 1 only see 2 mountains & clear sky hahaha...

Taiwanese love dogs, everywhere you go, sure u'll see big or small doggy...

I still can figured out how I managed to cross this hanging bridge, it's definitely more scary than the Heave & Earth Bridge at Alisan

The bridge can only take a max of 8ppl...and no swinging or playing on it. Must walk slowly...ee..scary...

七星潭Qi Xing Tan fascinating beach..was so windy that we couldn't even stand straight on our feet.. To bad some of my pic was corrupted during transfer of files : { lost most of the pic at 七星潭 and the wet market.

Taiwan-Hualian Part I

It's 11am when we back from the Lake tour, Mr Chen the driver from Hualian has been waiting for us. We quickly get our things ready & set off. The whole journey will takes us abt 5-6hrs, he will stop by a few places for sightseeing. We can't visit Takoro Gorge today coz it's running late so we will make it on the next day.

Well, it's really our Lucky trip, not only beautiful scenery but we also get to see flowers which are not supposed to be blooming in this seasons too.. Sakura! ya, Cherry Blossom in Nov.. hahaa even Mr Chen was surprised too.

Not only that we also get to see Meihua too, this flowers supposed to be seen blooming in Feb. How wonderful...Thanks God for his creation : }

Along the way we saw these beautiful houses, which are high end 'MingShu', homestay, built in Europe style on top of the mountain with best view.

This thing here must be specially introduced... hahaha...it's called "Seow Cha Bo"= "Crazy woman" : D was told by Mr Chen this is the local name for this flower, coz when u pick & throw it onto some1, it will stick on the person clothes, just like a "crazy woman" stick to many men. Interesting : }
"Ching Ching he bien chao....la la la la ..." let's go to the green green grass on highland : }

Feeding time....

He is attractive huh... hahhaa.. last time he attracted the Ostrich now he attracts the Sheep! hahaa

Finally reached the peak of the mountain, this is along the way to Taroko national Park. We stop by to take some pic, was like heaven..... we were above the clouds. Standing at 3000ft above sealevel..wow..and cold.., at only 5deg.
