was approached by this guy.. whom i forgot his name, who mentioned he was a representative of Stone Minsu.. and so we went along with him..
he told us Mr Chen Guangfa was already at a restaurant waiting for us to have lunch with 2 other groups of Singaporeans..so on that day, 3 groups of Singaporeans will be exploring Taroko Gorge together with him.. i must amazed and have to agree he's very very popular with Singaporeans..
We also met up with Liu-jie, boss of Stone Minsu, at the railway station.. for people who intend to stay in Stone Minsu, you dun haf to rush to book yr railway tix.. Liu-jie can help you book even if you haven buy yr railway tix to Taipei.. we didnt know that so we book the 9am train the next day to return to Taipei cuz it seem to be the onli tix that we can buy...
after travelling thru the Hualien City, we reached this restaurant that has very good ambience and interesting food.. we ate a lot of wild veggies which were said to be extremely good for digestion and prevent constipation.. very yummy...
shortly after, we begun to explore the different scenic spots within taroko gorge.. i think they very interesting and imagnative.. from the different rock formations, they can imagine that it resemble faces of dogs, lions, snakes, 印第安人...very amazing!... it will bring more joy to have a guide with you than to explore taroko alone.. u'll probably haf a hard to identify these rock-like-creatures in the midst of these mountains..
the very very beautiful scenery you get to see in Taroko.. the rushing waters.. very clear water..
along the way, we were on the road.on the left is a mountain..on the right side is a river separating us from another mountain... Mr Chen start challenging us to throw stones over to the other side..who manages to throw will get free sashimi.. haha.. the distance seems near but actuallie it isnt.. ask Mr Chen the reason behind if you are interested.. only Dear manages to throw over to Mr Chen's surprise.. probably eating too much wild veggies make him stronger?haha...
can you see a sideview face hidden in within???
a side view of 印第安人..who was said to be the 1st person to land in Hualien...
the right side shows a bulldog.. the left side shows the sideview of a rhinocerous haha..
a snake crawling out from the mountains!
takin pics with Mr Jian(I think) on the left.. and Mr Chen, on the right on a 吊桥...it was already evening time by the time we finished Taroko..we then made our way to 七星潭..there is no sand.. only pebbles.. stones.. beside the sea.. some stones are really beautiful.. i picked a few back..the waves are very strong.. and suddenly raining and disappeared again..quite dramatic weather in Hualien...scenery damn nice!
after that, we were brought to Donggang Harbour..(if im not wrong)..to eat sashimi.. 5bucks for that amount is considered very cheap liao.. and is very fresh..the man-made fishball was also oishii..a lot of ingredients.. drinking soup in cold weather is jus the bes remedy to warm the body..then, we made our way to this Yuanfa Muahchee Distributor Store.. i regret jus buyin2 packets from this store.. cuz when we go other places to buy muahchee, they are very inferior as compared to Yuanfa Muahchee.. somemore is cheaper.. so when you guys go there.. do buy muahchee from this store.. it's the best!jus that the salesgirl is not friendly.. but cant forsake good food cuz of this since we long way come here.. so jus buy and go lor haha..we were brought back to Stone Minsu to have a bath before meeting others for dinner.. we went to ate 排骨面which is rather yummy.. before going to watch 阿美族dance in a very touristy kind of village.. the dance watching was free.. and i mus say many people chose taiwan as their grad trip cuz we saw more singaporeans over there and they are mainly there for grad trip too haha..
it was originally planned to play fireworks at night but due to the poor weather, it has to be cancelled.. great pity.. we went back to have a good rest before emarking our journey to the last stop..Taipei!
