freezincbrain: Day 7, 8 & 9 !

Wah! Finally I coming to the last few days of my Taipei trip. Realised that blogging daily events can be SO tedious lor! Hence, I'll post only dos 'better', interesting pics la..

Day 7 - Hua Lian 花莲

Having the first time experience taking their TRA when going to Rui Fang-Jiu Fen, we now know what to look out for & be careful we're on the rite track & direction.

11-12pm: Reach Hua Lian.
Have booked our hotel & is expecting someone to pick us up. Funny thing was, cos it was the bridal studio who help us to book this hotel stay & they register Thomas name in chinese directly as "Tang mu si"... So, the driver waiting at the train entrance was looking for a Causasian! U get the joke? Hence, we had to identify ourselves instead.

3pm - Half day tour

Here's Honey! We are making our own tea-tree fragrance soap! He had already finished it a week after we came back & the fragance was really nice..

By the beach.. I quite like this pic cos I look pretty & pretty-young! WAHAHAHA

Carcass of a spiked-puffer fish??? Its so prominent on the pebbled beach

Can you spot the eye & mouth areas? Ya.. u probably hav guessed the eyes popped out & the small pebble got stuck in the socket.. heheh

Here's the real life one!

Dinner!! In PJ !! hheee!!!

Day 8 - Hua Lian 花莲 - Taroko Caves 太鲁阁

Mother of Earth
Make a guess why isit named such... Heee

Hua Lian is famous for their moutains & is proud to be 1 of the top largest producer & exporter of marbles, granites

Here's vivid... beauty..

Look at the centre of the picture & see if you can distinguish a figure out of it. Guess what it looks like & tell me your ans!

The mountains have been for many years and are still quite active with regular rocks falls & they are huge ones! Here's testiment to the kinda damage & dangers

Big wind within the caves!! bear the chill & chheeze!

This is the temple built to commemorate the workers who gave their lives for the pavement & constructions within Taroko Caves mountains, making it assessible to all.

It was built such that the spring water 'cuts' through the temple from the mountain behind to what you see, down to the river..

Gate way to the temple.
Just beside, there are 3 huge Buddha status overlooking toward the river

Beware!

Skipped to the marble factory.. the giantic pork is in real granite patterns!!
Nature's beauty & humans creativity

Day 9 - End of trip & well pampered meal!!

Korean BBQ!! we've been eyeing this since we landed on day 1 !

My favourite La La - Clams!
SUPER fresh!

'Damage'
I think I've set my own record! Did it beat yours?!
