19th Mar - Hualien to Chingjing
we woke up in the morning to the smell of delicious breakfast made by Auntie Liu. Before she decided to run a minsu, Auntie Liu used to run a 'breakfast shop'. I guess that explains why the breakfast she made for us was so delicious. Auntie made us 'Pizza', which was actually thick toast with mashed potato & mixed veg. My description does not do the toast justice but it was really delcious. Jeff had the home made burger which was equally delicious. We also had nice warm milk tea to accompany the sumptous breakfast.
After breakfast, we got onto the cab of Mr Chen, who was goona bring us on a tour of Taroko, Mt Ho Huan, Ching Jing farm & eventually to Lu Shan. what was in stall for us was what I call the 'extremes'. Taroko was an extremly mountainous area. The sights we saw there was amazing and I can understand why tourist all list Taroko as one of the must-sees in Taiwan.
Aftr Taroko, we went on an extremely dangerous drive to Mt Ho Huan. The fog was so bad that you can barely see beyond 2m. While the rest slept like babies, i was so afraid that I stayed awake for most parts of the journey. the other 'extreme' at Mt Ho Huan was the extremely cold temperature. It was only 3 degrees! It was freezing. I went to the loo there and my hands were numb when i washed my hands!
After Mt Ho Huan, we made our way to Mt Ching where we saw two extremes. Extremely beautiful scenary that was comparable, according to my sister, to Switzerland. It was also extremely boring for and the goats & cows were extremely smelly.
When we have had enough of Ching Jing Farm, we travelled to Lu Shan. We were told that Lu Shan was the top hotspring location in Taiwan. I guess that raised our expectations significantly. However when we finally picked a hot spring resort..we were extremely disappointed. It wasn't quite like the one that Jianhui had brought us to the last time. It looked a little run down if you asked me. But i guess we eventually made do with it.
Surprisingly, that night at Lu Shan was quite enjoyable after all. We had a simple dinner and walked around the little town. The weather was very cooling and it was all very nice. We bought some snacks and sat at the patio outside the room and chatted the night away. It was very relaxing and therapeutic to not be rushing around for once.
