真是人不可貌相

要去台湾的朋友请注意咯，在选择民宿时务必要小心，最好有男生陪同。因为刚刚才收到惊人的消息，我六月时到台湾旅行的民宿老板竟是个色狼 >.< 。这个在花蓮市「小李生活館」日租套房老闆李玉麒，上網以民宿名義攬客，卻遭多名女遊客指控，他在飲料、蛋糕下藥，趁機撫摸胸部、下體及偷窺洗澡。超下流的！！

檢警到李經營的套房搜索，找到疑有迷藥成分針筒及五件女性內褲，將他帶回偵訊，但罪證不足飭回。因李有兩次狡猾脫罪紀錄，警方已監控李男行蹤，並希望若有其他女遊客受害向警方舉發。

真是人不可貌相，李是我们在台湾时的民宿老板兼导游。亏我老爸还说他为人不错怎么到现在还单身，原来他有这等癖好怪不得找不到老婆啦！！ 我们全家人都很庆幸能安全归来，真是不幸中的大幸，也幸亏我们都住在二和三楼而且都有男生陪同，据报道受害者大多数是全体女生，都住一楼方便他行事。。

还记得他跟我老爸谈天时说很羡慕有四个女儿，四千金，现在想想都不知道是不是话中有话，好恶心哦！！还是要提醒网友们出国旅行一定要小心尤其是没男生的陪同，毕竟我们无法预料将会发生的事。。。

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........ :)





East Rift Valley 花东纵谷国家风景区 - PART 3

Continue from part2...

Next, we went to GuangFu Sugar Factory (光复糖厂) in Hualien. Besides its sugar products, it is also very famous in selling delicious ice desserts in 30 different flavors, especially popsicles and ice-creams. If you are traveling through the town of Guangfu, remember to stop-by and have a taste of ice-cream here.....definitely you will say 'yummy!yummy!' But there is always long queue for the ice-cream, so must be patient before you get to eat.... :D As for the price, of course it is a bit more expensive...

found this beautiful flower on the tree :P

On our way to the BaXianDong (八仙洞), we passed by the 秀姑巒溪出海口 and 长虹桥 before reached our destination......

长虹桥

BaXianDong is actually located along the beach so you can find the beautiful seaview and sunset over here too....

Though it is called as BaXianDong but actually there are totally 16 caves inside. Due to time-constraint, we only managed to visit one of the caves and bought some souveniers ......

very special house

Hope i have the chance to visit all the caves next time.....

East Rift Valley 花东纵谷国家风景区 - PART 2

Continued from the part 1....

Our next destination was Lichuan fisheries (立川漁場). Well, i guess many of you may wonder what is so special for this place......fish breeding?? No, No....let me reveal the answer for you.... :)

Lichuan fisheries is actually a place for CLAM breeding but not fish, it's golden clam's (黃金蜆) sweet home. Why i say so? Hmm...this is because the clam is bred in superior environment where it is rich in natural resources. With the innovation on breeding techniques and professional management, the tiny, insignificant clam is able to be bred to full size, resulting in a fresh taste, and a golden luster on its shell. That's why they are called the "Golden Corbicula Clam".

Here, visitors can experience the clam catching by themselves. It is fun!!! We managed to catch some for photoshooting then only threw them back into the pond....

wah..very beautiful view

let's catch some clams in the pond

see... i got 2 clam...hehe. :)

wow....so many...

After spending around 1 hour at Lichuan, we continued our journey to a private ownership of land which only allowed visitors to see from the opposite side of the lake. It was surprisingly beautiful, nice for photoshooting.... fresh green grasses + blue blue sky...

i dunno what is this until know

Very beautiful, right? Hope you enjoy.... :)

East Rift Valley 花东纵谷国家风景区 - PART 1

The East Rift Valley National Scenic Area lies between the Central Range and the Coastal Range between the Mugua River in the north and Taitung City in the south. There are many interesting and beautiful sights that you can't miss out in hualien else you will regret yo!!! From one destination to another, let me guide you throughout the trip.

Luckily it was a sunny day, we set off to QingXiuYuan (庆修院) very early in the morning which was a famous japanese temple in hualien. Let's see how it looks like inside....

After that, we continued our journey to Liyu Lake (鲤鱼潭) which was located at the foot of Liyu Mountain. It is also known as lover pier (情人码头) where you can see the lovers stroll along the lake in the evening. Besides enjoying the beautiful scenery, visitors can also take some water games and sports such as boating and rowing, fishing, camping, cycling and hiking. Due to time constraint, we just took some photos near the lakeside.....
