Taiwan map

• Pine garden. Hualien County's Pine Garden was built in 1943, it used to be the military base for the Japanese Navy during World War II. Now it became a recreational resort. Anyway, seems that i didn't take much pictures back then, so i suggest u to check out the links for more information :D

• Meqmegi (Mukumugi) Recreation Area. Meqmegi was the name of the first Taroko tribal family who settled in this area long long time ago. look at its natural beauty..... breathtaking isn't it?

• Taroko National Park, the famous one in Hualien. The parks are placed to protect the natural scenery and wildlife. It's all about nature! 

• Rafting at Siouguluan River. It's the largest river in eastern Taiwan with about 90 kilometers long. but the river is not heavily flows, so it was quite exhausted to go through that river. One thing, don't forget to have sunblock with you, if u don't want to become unfinished-dark-skinned like the man behind me LOL:P

• Monster village. It's a Japanese style village built in 2011 based on the ancient story. you will find comical-monster statues are all over this village. Interesting place! I think all the monsters there are cute:D 

• Xitou nature education area. The place is near monster village and is part of the experimental forest belonging to the National Taiwan University (NTU). 

• Sky-ladder bridge. It is said that one of the well-known places visited by tourists. We shud went up to the hill by car/van/any vehicles. So we start from up to downhill. yeah, don't try to start the other way round, from down to uphill, it will be really really exhausting. From up hill we still need to walk about 1400 meters long way to reach the bridge. We were given the bamboo stick for each person, yes it's useful to help us walk in a very challenging road, up-and-down hills with many many stepladder. That is why it is called sky ladder. The scenery is awesome, but the weather is cold and foggy at that time, so we can’t enjoy the view very much.
