I am not sure if I am one of the few Singaporean who drove more than a 100km across Toroko Gorge on Route 8 from Hualien to Nantou.
We passed through Toroko Gorge and beyond 文山溫泉. The route is winding, the roads are good. But beware of narrow passage. generally the road can squeeze 2 vehicles, but the dangerous thing is that the oncoming vehicle speed and cut through your path. There were a few occasions, but as long as you drive slow and allowed the impatient car behind you to pass, the drive was very scenic. We started at around 0930 and it took us more than 2 hours to reach 文山溫泉.
We passed though Hehuanshan and reached the top of Wuling. It is wow and wow with the beauty of His creation. I enjoyed the stillness and the coolness of the air there. We stopped frequently to take views and pee breaks.
The Lord has kept us save. We drove pass Cingjing and rested at the little town of Puli. By the time we checked into the accommodation, it was already 1730. A near 9 hours journey. But worth it with the Lord's hand and protection upon us.
We had a steak dinner at the night market which operate only of Friday and Saturday. It happened that tonight was Saturday. The tepanyaki shop that we visited 2 years ago has stopped business.
For those who are interested in the route, here it is:
