Tropic of Cancer 北回归线,ShiTiPing石梯平

Finally, here comes the last post of my Taiwan trip......another 2 special places that you must visit are ShiTiPing (石梯平) and Tropic of Cancer (北回归线). Why i said so?! Let's follow me and you will find out yourself....=)

Before this, i never heard about The Tropic of Cancer (北回归线) until i visited it in Taiwan. It also referred to as the Northern tropic, is the circle of latitude on the Earth that marks the most northerly position at which the Sun may appear directly overhead at its zenith. This event occurs once per year, at the time of the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its maximum extent.

Nah, this is the landmark of Tropic of Cancer...


Following pictures are the beautiful scenery over there... The day was so hot until we were unable to open our eyes under the strong shunshine. Luckily, i got bring my sunglasses...hehe... :D



Our last destination was Shitiping, a very popular spot just simply because of its natural beauty. Wow... Wow, i love this place very very much!!!  And i guess you will feel so too after seeing the photos i had taken over there.....

To me, it was really a very great and amazing place which was formed when volcanic rock worn smooth by sea erosion. It was uplifted in layers that resemble stone steps-which is just what the Shiti of the name means. The geological structure here is made up of whitish-gray volcanic tuff that is strikingly different from the rock seen in other parts of the East Coast.

Wah, looking back all the photos taken in Taiwan, i'm really thinking to go Taiwan again. It's really a very nice and beautiful country, furthermore there are still many tourism spots that i've missed out during the trip. Wait for me Taiwan, i'll visit you again........ :)
