Hua Lian, Qi Xing Tan, Taiwan

Next morning, I bidded Taipei goodbye, and proceeded to HuaLien. Our first meal at HuaLien was good. It was different from Taipei. Even the food tasted slightly different. But the Shui Jiao was superb. As good as the XLB, and somewhat similar. The Bao on the left, is what HuaLien calls their XLB. We got conned, as we taught it was the xlb in taipei. This one is more like the normal bao.

HuaLien Train station, has a magnificent view.

That afternoon, we went to Qi Xin Tan.

Qi Xin Tan. We picked up some rocks to bring home. The rocks there are really beautiful and the waves strong.

At night, we went to the night market. This Gong Zhen Shui Jiao is famous. I was abit reluctant to eat shui jiao again, since we had it in the afternoon. But we were not sure if we will come back. Therefore, we ate. It was really very very nice. Almost the same as the afternoon one, but slightly nicer. They make the shui jiao on the spot. Interesting sight.

Jiufen, Taiwan

Next day, we went to Jiu Fen. First to Jin Sha Guang, which was really nothing much.

Jiufen, is high up the mountain, and offers a spectacular view. I just my trip started with the city, and moved to increasingly beautiful nature. We enjoyed some desert and this view.

At night, we went to this night market. By far, the most organized night market I've seen thus far, compared to those in Taipei. End of Jiufen.

Danshui, Taiwan

The next day, we decided to go to Dan Shui. The hostel girl showed us a few places to eat. First, the beef noodle at an orange shop was good. Then, this desert was very very filling. It is tau huay with red bean and ice.

At Dan Shui. More traditional Taiwan.

Dan Shui has good sea view. The reason I was there for.

And a lovely sunset.

End of Dan Shui.
