Virtual China: Finishing Taiwan

 

 

And my Tea Egg II

The marbling effect finally worked...but it is still rubbery and disgusting.

Today we will finish Taiwan...not with the omnipresent neon city-scape...but instead part of Old Town...and some much needed green-space.

First up...Old Town.

Juifen...just outside of Taipei harkens back to a time this was all under Japanese Rule.

The last video showing what a beautiful island Taiwan really is...and the third video a lot claustrophobic even for me...just too narrow streets and alleyways with way way too many people.


and the famous A-mei Tea House.

onward to the best National Park of Taiwan

Taroko
 

The park covers 355 square miles encompassing Taroko Gorge.

It has everything for everyone...from the glitz and gloss of neon and amusement park rides...to breath-taking scenery from suspension bridges...

and even caves and caverns.

Next time we will do an overview of the Mainland.

Until then...
