Hualien- A lovely weekend

The train ride from Yilan to Hualien was just as beautiful as we had heard. The scenery was stunning with mountains on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other.

As soon as we stepped off the train, we were welcomed by friendly Rotarians. We were fortunate to have a Rotarian Jimmy lead us on all of our tours. Jimmy is also a tour guide and a wealth of knowledge. Our trip to Hualien included touring Taroko National Park, cycling the shore of Qixin Tan, museums, exploring the Ocean Deep Water factory and to top it all off- we went whale watching. The sunshine was out and the weather was clear. We didn't see whales, but we saw 2 pods of dolphins. It was the perfect day!

Tomorrow we take the train from Hualien to New Taipei City. Looking forward to it!

Good night!
