Aft breakfast, we set off to a pl called 御宝, a place tt sells lingzhi. According to de tour guide, lingzhi r usually plucked by de 原住民, big lingzhi means it’s naturally grown, while smaller ones r those human grown, n lingzhi r grown on red wood, which is a very strong wood. When we reached de pl, an ex-doctor who’s now a consultant gave us some knowledge on how to eat healthy food in order to stay healthy. Aft tt, de原住民 ladies came promoting de lingzhi. But none of us din buy any coz it’s too ex.
Next, we went to 太鲁阁峡谷 to look @ de mountains n waterfall. Thou it’s quite beautiful, I still find de mountains n waterfalls in Yosemite nicer. De waterfall @ de former is much smaller, n it’s oni a flow instead of a gush. De oni thing I find interesting is de crossing of de tunnel.
aft tt, we had lunch @ tis restaurant where all de food served were new to me except 4 梅菜扣肉 n small tomatoes. De dishes I lyk most were fried pumpkin n bamboo rice top w/ yam. Coz we’r a grp of gals who dun really eat much, we really had quite a lot of leftovers.
Next, we were brought to 七星谭. Behind it was military ground. Over there, de sea was very very blue n clear. We picked up some nice stones as souvenirs. Those nearer to de sea were indeed much smoother n nice then those further from de sea.
We were in de bus 4 3 hrs plus b4 we reached our next hotel 4 overnight stay, called 知本温泉. There’s oso hot spring over there. Thru’out de journey de tour guide has been showing us anime. Haha, guess u’ll be tinking I’m so fortunate tt it hit my interest rite? Tt anime din really catch my interest, so i’ve been napping thru’out. When we reached 台东, we went to a restaurant away fr de hotel 4 dinner. De toilet was smelly, n de dishes there were not really tt great. It had tis pork soaked in rice wine which was a very special kinda food to promote, but de taste of alcohol was so strong tt we oni tried a sip n din touch it anymore.
We were advised to take a dip in de hot spring aft resting 4 an hr. so aft resting, we had to wear swimming costumes w/ swimming cap 4 hygiene reasons b4 enjoying our hot spring! Tis hotel is very interesting. It’s owned by 2 bosses, n so it’s operations r kinda messy. In a bldg itself there’s some rms belonging to 1 boss n others belonging to de other boss. N even 4 hot spring, restaurants n lobby, u’ll get lost b4 u get to find de rite 1 fr de rite boss whom u’ve paid to 4 ur pleasure. It’s not gd to dip 4 too long, so we’ve to get out 4 awhile aft dipping 4 3 mins, then we could oni dip 4 15 mins in total. Aft de dip, u’ll really get to feel ur skin getting smoother, n u’ll feel more energetic. Some of my other frenz who had menstruations can oso get to enjoy de hot spring in their own bathrms. But I’ve no idea how’s de feeling of enjoying hot spring in de bathrm. Mebbe I shld try tmr early in de morning?
