Day two had us visiting the Linzi centre – ‘Linzi’ is famous in Taiwan for medicinal properties and harvested to make tea. Partly because I don’t drink tea, and partly due to the incredible costs, this was not something we felt the need to buy – but the first pic below shows this kind of fungus. We then drove to the Taroko National Park and the Eternal Springs Shrine. It is an area of natural beauty and gave us a chance to stretch our legs. We started the climb to the temple at the top – but had to give up when the steps kept going up and our time began to run out!
From the Taroko National Park it was a short drive around the coast to Cisingtan, one of the many beach
areas of Taiwan for lunch. From here it was then the long, long drive to our hotel for the night in the Hot Springs resort of Taitung. More for a toilet break than anything else, we did stop off at a working animal farm – where of course I made friends with a few goats!
