Eastern

Last week, we took a trip to the eastern of Taiwan, including Yilan, Hualian, and Taitung. The most beautiful coastline is in there. I have enjoyed the amazing view in the year before last by riding bicycle. Nonetheless, some scenic spots haven’t been visited due to the bad weather. It makes the main reason why we have to go to there this summer vacation. The views of coastline in Suhua Highway are spectacular particularly. Therefore, we decided to take out the train at a small station in Suhua Highway and then we were walking on the way to next station. Because, we thought it was the best way to enjoy the trip.

We arrived at the station in the afternoon, and the weather was very hot. We took lots of luggage, but we still enjoy it. We have walked more than 15 kilometer. The worse, we missed the only train which stopped at the next station in the afternoon. What we could do was to take available vehicle. Fortunately, they were going to the same destination, Hualian train station. Then, we took the train to the Taitung at the evening. We will have taken couchsurfing at Taitung for two days. My partner found the information and made an appointment before. The master is a student also who is one or two years older than us. He was very friendly, helping us many things at Taitung, such as renting motorcycle, introducing the city, or even took us to eat breakfast together.




The next day, we rode the motorcycle and go to the coastline in Taitung. Though, it was also at the eastern part of Taiwan, the landscape was difference from Hualian. The traffic and the time wasn’t the problem for us. As a result, we might stay at one beach for more than two hours or even took a nap at a small pavilion. It was the meaning of travel: just relax, forget anything and don’t put any pressure on yourself. The third day was similar with the second one, but we take the Huatung valley way. It is the only plain which was near two high mountains at the different direction. There were also some scenic spots I haven’t visited before. The weather was still very hot and we had already got sunburn, but we still enjoy them.

And then, the end of third day, my partner had to go back home due to some parties. I still stayed there and would meet our club member at Taimali, or another trip. I would look forward to it deeply.
