Taiwan Day 2 - Hua lien Taroko trip
Posted on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 9:33 pmWell, we didnt have any breakfast package so instead, I went to a nearby 7 Eleven to grab hotdogs and bread. They’ll serve you (because I didnt know how to). Good day to start off!
One tip here: The hotel will book for you a personalize Taxi, where you pay the entire cab for say TWD$3000 - $3500. Since most cab drivers in Hua Lien should be able to do the same service (Depends if they are willing to travel one whole day), we approach drivers the previous day, and got ours at TWD$1600, about $USD50.
Entry point for Taroko
1st Stop, I was brought over to this place by the friendly Taxi driver. It took us about 30 mins to drive up the “Entry point” or Taroko day tour.
Then we drove into the Display meusum 太魯閣國家公園 , 5 mins away.
The beauty of Taroko Park…
And then for the rest of the Journey, you’ve got to be there to see and feel it. It took us an almost whole day of looking at Nature, mountains, rivers, and we took a lot of fresh air. It was slightly cloudy, and by noon the sun were out. And Wow, its damn hot.
七星潭石雕公園, last stop?
We ended our Hualien trip at 台灣七星潭石雕公園, at around 6+
Driving back to the City, the Taxi Driver bought us up to a hill where we can look over the entire Hualien City. Didn’t know what hill was that (as it was very dark and we were tired), with Taiwan’s 70% Mountainous areas, and in HuaLien 90%, what we saw was a mere 10%. Oh, and we saw our Hotel, as well as Ziqiang Night Market 自强路夜市,花莲.
Exciting - 自强路夜市!
Before we really end and back to our hotel, we went there to buy our dinner. It was really packed, but this time this Night market has almost anything, bubble tea to Chicken Cutlets and other food varieties.
We bought them packed back to our hotel, to enjoy the aircon, while we prepare to go back to Taipei tomorrow.
