Building rock castles at
Seven Star Lake |
Hualien (花蓮)is full of wonderful things. Have you ever went inside a tub of hot spring water? Did you ever see a trail that was carved out of rock or holes on cliffs that look like swallow nests are in them? There's also a super high temple, don't forget the very long suspension bridge and the ocean where you can build rock castles. That's all in one magnificent place called Hualien.

Hot spring tub |
After we checked in hotel, the first thing impressed us was the giant hot spring tub in the spacious bathroom. A light sulfur smell appeared while filling up the hot spring tub. We noticed the water is a little yellowish before we jumped in. It was very comfy and relaxing. Though in my opinion, it would be best in the winter because it was so hot. I think it is the most comfiest place in the world.

Pulowan |
Pulowan is where we watched a movie about people who lives there. The facial marks they make are very unique. The girls look like cats because they have three black marks on each cheek. Men looked like ancient Egyptian's beard. Both had a vertical line on their fore head.

People walking on long suspension bridge |
After we saw Tian Xiang Visitor Center, we arrived at Eternal Spring Shrine. There was a very high and long suspension bridge . I really wanted to go up there and walk on it. Look, a few people walked on the bridge. The bridge was shaking and wobbling like mad. My brother saw it and refused to go. It would be an awesome journey if we were there.

Seven Star Lake |
Seven Star Lake is the awesome place to end of our journey. Is it really a lake? No, it is a small bay with a beautiful beach besides the ocean. We built rock castles and threw huge rocks at the big waves. Watching the huge rock hits the wave as it creates another wave made us laugh loudly.
Hualien was a very fun trip. You also now know about it. I hope someday you can have a trip just as fun.
