Okey Dokey, lets head off from where we lefted at the last post. After finishing our shopping in ??, we head off to our next destination, Yilan ?? to have lunch. The journey was about one and half hour ride, the weather was rainy which was really a pity because along the way to ??, the coastal view was really quite a sight.

One of the view of the sea, and oh ya, this directions faces America
The place was at north-east of taiwan, so if you swim across the sea, you will somehow reach The States? LOL! Halfway we stopped at a rest point to relieve ourselves. There are far and few rest points along the way because the road was rather narrow and by-the-sea.
After a one half hour ride we finally arrive in ??, a city by the sea, which will explain later why we are going to the Mazu temple ??? later. But lunch first! Ha! The highlight of today’s lunch was lobster meal ????. But sadly, it fails to live up the expectations.

The lobster that does’nt delivers
The lobster was nothing nice, bearly can find any lobster meal, and the meal was very dried does not really taste like lobster? But o well, what can you expect when it is catered meal provided by the tour.
I’ll just show some of the pictures, cos the rest is just normal dishes like vegies and all that stuff nothing too special. But although not nice, at least got ????? : P

Next, we head off to Mazu temple ??? which was very famous in ??, a must visit place when you come here i guess? Anyway, for those who do not know what is Mazu, Mazu is the taoist goddness of the sea who protects fisherman and sailors, and is revered as the patron saint who protects East Asians who are associated with the ocean.
Do you know?
Taiwan is the world’s largest productor of luxury yatchs, but most are exported to other countries and not many remains in the country.

Magnificant view’

Ending our visit at Mazu temple, we head on to a place called Tai Lu Ge, its a valley actually. We stopped there for 15mins, there is a cafe which sells coffee and the coffee is not exactly cheap, 7 bucks for one coffee. But it came with a compliment piece of cake.
We only stayed 15mins at the beautiful Tai Lu Ge because we need to rush to Nan Dao culture theatre to see show. The performance is by the ???, or the Taiwan aborigines who are the indigenous people of Taiwan. The performance was about half an hour if i did not remember wrongly, and after that, they also invite the viewers to go down and join them in games, their ??? dance and culture stuff. Pretty much like the stuff u see on ????? when they went to the ??? area.
did not take much pictures of the performance because by then my Ixus battery was running low. After the show we went to our hotel for the night, Parkview Hotel. Hualian was very much close by, so after a short while we enter into Hualian. The building of the hotel itself was very obvious even before we reached it because there is not much high-rise buildings in Hualian. Thats all for this post, watch out the next post where we are going to have a scrumptious buffet dinner at Parkview Hotel
