Day 2 - Hualian, Taroko Gorge, Part 4

Yes yes.. we are still at Day 2, Taroko Gorge

Now we are near the Swallow's Cave

Notice anything out of the ordinary???
.
.
.
.
Yes, saw that face formed by rocks?
It resembles the Easter Islands Stone Faces

Slushy Water

Now this is the Ci Mu Qiao
And what you see over here is a rock formation that looks like a frog
Legend has it that Taiwan,
despite being plagued by typhoons,
they are protected by floods due to this rock frog

The Yue Fei Suspension bridge
No, Yue Fei did not go on the bridge before,
Just that there is a nearby temple for Yue Fei,
Ivy have a fear of heights hence she was clinching on to me real tight

View from the bridge
Lol, I don't think there is much to explain

From the backstage

SCAM Logs..
Yes.. The Tunnel of Nine Turns Trail
Upon reaching this destination, our cab driver, Mr Chen,
 handed us 2 sheets of tissue paper,
gave us specific instructions to a certain part of the tunnel
to release the tissue paper in the air
and see it drift up into the sky

We were also required to wear helmet for our safety,
so once we reached that SPECIFIC place,
we released the paper for 6 times...
and for that 6 times....
it flew right in... -_-'
and there we were behaving suspiciously,
afraid that people would see our littering act.
tsk

2nd scam..
We saw this long flight of stairs and started to ascend the stairs
due to the strong curiosity of ours
so we climbed this ridiculously long flight of stairs,
we saw posters of some herbal drink being sold upstairs
Once at the top, we were damn thirsty and had to get a cold drink
to cool us a lil.. and we decided to get those herbal drink...
ITS SUPER EXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
1 500ml bottle cost 100 TWD and we bought 2...
that's around 8 SGD for 2 bottles of cheap herbal tea...
-_-'
Scammed..
