Day 7 - Taroko & Hualien

Taroko was a really new experience for me.

To be walking between walls of rock created by millions of years of corrosion is really breath-taking. The wondrous work of nature, patiently chipping away at the concrete rocks bit by bit. Imagine what the place will look like after another million years?

We paid an extra NT$200 and asked the taxi driver to bring us to "Qing Shui Duan Ya" which was nearby Taroko. The place was a beautiful stretch of sharp cliffs facing the sea. Nice....but for someone who is scared of heights....you might feel your legs wobble standing on the ledge....

The rest of our evening was spent at Hualien's 南滨公园....enjoying the gentle sea breeze ^^
