Vacation at Taiwan (Day 3)

Day 3

The day started by visiting the Taroko National Park. What's so special with this place? Erm.. you can find mountains every direction you turn to.. It was a very beautiful sight-seeing of mountains and clouds on the top.

Cloudy day, nice weather



Aaaahhhhh... heeeelppp!!

After lunch, we went to a stone and jade factory/ shop. There were lots of beautiful sculptures from stones and jades. From this visit, we got to learn how to differentiate stone and jade. Light can go through a genuine jade. =)

On the list next was visiting Ling zhi & Tea Centre. We were given a little 'talk' on the functions and advantages of ling zhi as well as deer foetus. (P/S: Got to drink ling zhi FOC!!! hehe~)

The browny thing in my hands was a deer foetus (we were told that it is good for respiratory problems), the browny thing on the right was ling zhi

The staff there told us by touch the 'weapon', one can get pregnant. Haha~

We continued our day with the visit to the Rei Suei Leisure Farm where we could find products freshly made from the milk produced by the dairy cows there. Got cheese cakes, special brewed coffee using the milk by the dairy cows, milk nougats. The milk nougats were YUMMY!!!

Before leaving, all got 'hasil' from the farm - milk nougats!!

With the farm visit, we called it day. For the third night, we spent at Taitung, Chihpen Hot Spring!! Our dinner was at the hotel itself. After a rest post-dinner, it's time to 'pao wen quan'!!

The water's clear and it was nearly 40 degree celcius!! Masak-lo

After the 'wen quan', end of third day, SLEEP!! =)
