Went to Carp Lake (鲤鱼潭)...



Us riding in a boat (Taken by our tour guide, 小喜)

Jade picking :)


What we found in the end :)
Lots of jade :D 
Though I think that's low- quality jade :(
Hehe.

We went to Chaofeng Ranch next...



Explored the ranch/farm while riding in a buggy :D

There were birds...



Camels...

Racoons... (I think those were my favourite animals at Chaofeng.)





 Goats...


Parrots...


And cows!


Couldn't believe it when I saw that some of the milk at Taiwan's 7- eleven was from Chaofeng. o_O

The view was beautiful xD and the air was super fresh.







DAY 6 (December 11- Tuesday): HUALIEN (花莲)
Weather: Really windy, but it was drizzly in the end :(
Updates: Learnt lots of cool stuff that day :D

Went up a mountain and saw the whole of Hualien xP
(I think we were up on the mountain near Farglory Hotel.)





We went to Yunshanshui (云山水)...





The 2 previous pictures were taken by our tour guide









WHY THE WATER AT YUNSHANSHUI (云山水) IS BLUE-
Well, because all that blue water flows down from the mountains :)

At a little wood- carving village at the foot of a mountain...
 A train used to run through this area.


 All these wood were said to be at least a thousand years old.

 "跟爸爸讲悄悄话"
This was funny...

"跟爸爸讲悄悄话"




Bought a colourful ball from that little village.
We played ball games with 小喜...




Then we went to a beach facing the Pacific Ocean...
(Well I thought that it would be full of sand but instead it was full of rocks)






DAY 7 (December 12- Wednesday): HUALIEN (花莲)





Helmets on!

Fast forward another 2000m up...
Look! Now we're at 2150m!

Standing next to the Bilu divine tree (碧绿神木). It's 3000 years old!

A dog near where we ate... It was cute xD

Fast forward another 1125m up... 
Reached 3275m!







The sky was a deep blue and very beautiful that day :D


Went downhill on the way to Sun Moon Lake, Nantou

It was a hotel! I bet just staying at that hotel for just a night would cost a bomb D:

Will post about Sun Moon Lake soon :D
