| This bridge in Tienhsiang leads to a pagoda and temple that are situated on the top of a hill. The view from the top is beautiful, though the temple itself is rather tacky - it was built in the 1960s or so. | Yuka is here seen with the pagoda in the background. I believe this is the first pagoda I have seen made out of cement. |

| Okay, I just included this picture as I am making a rather funny face. | Pulowan is a small town inhabited by some aboriginal people. It is all rather touristy, but traditional garments can be bought for a price I am sure I can not afford. |

| Back in Hualien, or mildly outside of it, we captured this view of a rather nice-looking beach. The city of Hualien, however, is a place best avoided. It has virtually no charm, and should be considered nothing but a stop on the way. | Yuka is here drinking some kind of Chinese tea that she really enjoys. Although I wish I knew the name of it, I want to pay a general homage to the great variety of dishes and drinks available in Taiwan. The only problem is, of course, that one seldom has any idea what one is ordering. |
