I was there last week too. Some of the places do look familiar esp for Taroko and Hua lien. How long were you there for? I just went to Taipei and Hualien.

Hi bro, I was there for a week. It's a tour package ad don't have time to shoot actually...the last day met the Typhoon Talim somemore. Can't get any nice sunset and sunrise coz of the weather. How about yourself?

ptwong · 5th September 2005

it was more of a free and easy trip for me. Stayed for about a week too. I left 2 days after the typhoon Tali. Did you spend much time in Taroko? Did you took the train or took bus to hua lien? I spent so much time walking till i got two big blisters on both side of my feet!! I also put up some of my pics the night before. Next time go there you should try to backpack, more fun but need to brush up Mandarin first ha....

I went for a package tour with family, I do agree with you on bacpacking. There are so many opportunities along the way, just bacause 'm on the tour bus. Think I will be back, and try to avoid the hot summer and typhoon season.
