Taiwan 2010 |
|
| We met Jun's girlfriend from the US in Taiwan and spent two days together at the magnificent Taipei International Flora Exposition. The city has a historic downtown district with night markets and beautiful temples. A few subway stations to the east, the architecture changes dramatically to an ultra-modern city with the second-larges high-rise building of the world, - the Taipei 101. Inbetween is the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall Plaza with monumental buildings commemorating the founder of modern-day Taiwan. The National Palace Museum, Martyrs' Shrine and nearby Maokong tea-growing area are worthwhile a visit, as well as the nearby Yangmingshan National Park. We also rented a car and made a tour to the Taroko National Park, the Sun Moon Lake and the Yushan National Park. Specifically Taroko with it extremely narrow and deep gorge is one of the most spectacular national parks I have ever seen. |
