Taroko National Park 太鲁阁国家公园

We decided to go Toroko National Park on saturday morning by following the Taiwan Bus Tour. It is located in Hua Lien, but is not reach-able by cycling. We got cheaper price using Youth Travel Card. The morning weather looked a bit dark, but it turned skyblue when the van moving away from the town.

The driver (also the tour guide) was very good and professional. We were fortunate to be in a small group of 11 ppl, so everything was fast and efficient. The driver, Mr. Wong whois a teacher, kept joking and introducing along the way with full of interest. He knows alot about the place, although i know he d repeated it for hundred times :)

There were many spots within the national park, but we were brought to some of the best sites which cannot be missed :)

and the place is very nice! Cool weather, not cloudy, mountains which cannot see the top, the sound of waterfall along the river, the tress, flowers, the famous stones... cant describe in words, come let see some pics!

We were glad that the drive stop by at 七星潭 before back to town. This also a nice place to go, it is not a lake, dun get misunderstand! it is actually a seaside, facing Pacific ocean. The waves are big, strictly no swimming! The scenery around was very nice, not far can see mountains jz beside the sea, and the beautiful gardens jz beside the seaside with bicycle track.

The special thing is the stones. The beach has no fine sands, but full of all kinds of stones, which make HuaLien Taiwan to be one of few famous stones production in the world. Some names that i remember include 大理石，玫瑰石，猫眼石。。
