The distance from Taipei to Chiufen is very far. Took the whole morning to reach there. We had to travel through several mountains along the winding road. Quite unbearable at times, luckily i got no car sickness. A bit tough on del and dora though.. One good thing is we could enjoy the nice scenery while travelling.

Nothing much at Chiufen actually, to think we travelled all the way up the mountain. It is actually just a street that sells food and traditional stuffs. Bought fishballs from there to eat. It was so hard that you could hit someone with it. Haha..

Above photo was taken at Taroko Gorge. Only managed to upload this photo cos the rest is still with dora. Nice view and cool weather. The water flows very rapidly and so Steven warned us never play with the water there.

At evening time, we went to the Ami Aboriginal Village to watch their performance. Dun really enjoy their performance cos they all dance so unwillingly, except for one. Cant blame them actually, cos they have been dancing non stop for the whole morning and afternoon. This is the result of having it commercialised. At times i even wonder if they are real Ami people or not..

Returned to a 5* hotel at Hualian for our buffet dinner. It was real good. Room was good too. Had 3 larger than super single bed and it was still very spacious. Too bad that there wasnt any shopping items for us to pack. Really had a good night rest there..
