Travel to Rueisuei

Travel to Rueisuei

The first Sunday at Hualien, Taiwan, we travelled to Rueisuei area, a small town or village south to Hualien city. A simple, plain and calm town with breathtaking natural scenes. We took train there which spends an hour to arrive there. Along the rail way is East Coast Valley of Taiwan with beautiful mountains, plantations, rivers.... The valley along the journey was surrounded by mountainous hills in both sides.

We rented a taxi which brought us around the area and back to Hualien. Before this, ignorantly, i thought to rent a bicycle to go round the area. Luckily not, on the taxi, i only knew that the planned spots were far from each other. Maybe i can bear it; others may bring back to Hualien due to leg cramp. Just kidding k? Don't be angry if you (my elective partners) see my blog. Just like the humorous taxi driver said that, we can ride bicycle but after ride to the first spot, the underwear will be soaked by sweats.

We went to a farm with cow and sell dairy products which are my favourite. My most favourite drink is from cow, so i won't miss the chance to buy the dairy product. Estimated for this whole year i have consumed more than 8kg of milk powder. That is the milk that accompanied me during my study life. For sure i won't get
osteoporosis in my older life.

Later were the historical sites which like Stonehenge. But this "Stonehenge" in Taiwan is much smaller. Then, was the monument of The Tropic Of Cancer which is 23.5 degree longitude on the earth. The mark is like an octopus.

The main destination for the trip was hot spring which Taiwan is famous for. It is an enjoyable time in the hot spring. However, not everybody likes it. For me it will be the first and last time to soak in the hot spring for the sake of time and money saving.

Huh... my wallet had broken after the travelled for the whole day... More than RM150 (NTD1550) was spent. I am the top listed, because i bought an expensive tea which claimed the world-top red tea. Used up parents' money and brought them some nice thing, isn't a nice son?
