Day 6 - KenTing & Hualien

We woke up a bit early to check out the sandy beaches of KenTing. KenTing wouldn't be KenTing without its famous beaches! On summer days, the place should be packed to the brim with beach goers but too bad for us, it was the starting of Spring and the weather and waters are a bit tad too cold for swimming trunks and bikinis. Dissappointing....especially the "bikini" part missing :-p

We left KenTing for FangLiao by taxi after the short morning on the beach. FangLiao is a really small town, very peaceful, very quiet. We took a small walk around town since our train was still hours away.

After a really long train ride, we finally arrived at Hualien. Due to unforseen circumstances, we had to change our hostel. Our initial hostel was situation rather far away from town, so we needed transport. But the funny thing is Hualien doesn't accept licenses from Malaysia. Really funny since I've already rented scooters twice at KaoHsiung & KenTing. *sweat*
