There is this place that I wanted to visit about 4 years ago when I visit Hualien - 慕谷慕魚. The first visited with KM, the place was closed. The second time I visited Taiwan with Rach, the place was closed.
I knew that there was a need to registered before you entered the place and that was at the police station. The place limit the number of visitor for the day. I failed to registered online, meaning I decided to leave for 慕谷慕魚 early this morning. I reached the place before 0800.
But all my excitement went down the drain when I was told that the place was closed. Again???
I brought my boys opposite 翡翠谷. We cut through a cave and experience total darkness in the cave. The route was closed, but we stop at a dam with water fall.
To make matter worst, I forget to slot in my camera SD. The photos I took was limited and stored on the internal memory. I used my phone to take photos, but my phone was not water proof, meaning I cannot take pictures when in contact with rivers and water.
We decide to drive to Toroko Gorge 太魯閣. This time I climbed up Eternal Spring Shrine. At the 太魯閣鐘樓, we rested and Mat did some of his school works.
We did not stop next until 天祥 where we had lunch.
The next stop was the highlight - 文山溫泉. Officially the trail is stop. But we entered and enjoyed the place. We soaked in the hot thermal water mix with cold river water, in the midst of the beautiful and enchanting Toroko Gorge. Best!!
I visited this place the third time and am amaze at the great creation of God. The heights of the mountain, the depth of the valley, plus the cool and stillness of the environment, such combination cannot be just numbers and probability that it come about about millions of years of permutation.
We ended the day with dinner purchase at Dongdamen Night Market and went up to 楓林步道. We had dinner while watching Hualien in the city night view.
