Taiwan.. ~ Day 2

A tour of Taiwan's North coast bring us to Yehliu with the naturally formed rock formations, which are formed thru centuries of wind and sea erosion of the coastline. Most famous rock here is the Egyptian queen head which I'm kissing

we were brought to the old street of Jiufen for lunch. though it's a touristy shopping street now, the nice old feeling of past still lingers in the air..


met this BBQ sausage stall owner there with colourful over-the-top dressing, must pronounce her name 'Yao Zhi Zhi' before she'll agree to pose for a pic with you =)

after lunch we dropped by Nantien temple worshipping the sea-goddess Ma-Tzu and travelled to Hualien county via the scenic Su-Ao Highway. As the center of Taiwan is occupied by the Central Mountain Ranges, this route to Hualien was created by the cliff-side of the mountains.. One side the wondrous Pacific Ocean, one side the majestic mountain range.

Hualien is mainly inhibited by the Ami tribe, and we were treated to a song and dance show by the aboriginal people before we ended the night with bamboo rice and of cos, supper! And what a unique way to present the toilets!!!
