发帖数: 6973 | 2 It is said 清水斷崖 (to the north of City of Hualian) is a grandeur.
After visiting Taroko Gorge, you may return to City of Taipei northernly,
then either through 雪山隧道 or skirt along the northeastern coast. The
alternative is a side trip to 清水斷崖, back to Hualian and board a ferry (a
steamer actually) with the car overnight and land in Taipei.
I took the ferry decades ago (after visiting Taroko). I have not been to 清
水斷崖 or Taiwan's northeast. |

发帖数: 6973 | 5 That is the title of a Reuters report yesterday (May 29, 2008). Foreigners
are coming to Taiwan for weddings.
An offcial with Taiwan Tourism Bureau said, "Taiwan is not a big region, but
its variety is huge."
My comment: Taiwan does not have ancient buildings as China and Japan. Nor
does it have magnificent scenery like US. Still Taiwan is all right. Taroko
Gorge in eastern Taiwan is wonderful, in my view. |
