Taiwan- Day 3 Journey to Hualien

Keykey and co stayed in City Inn 1 hotel at Taipei. Only remembered to take photos on the day.
As we were travelling all around taiwan, we decided to leave some luggage with the concierge for the next 6 days 

It was small, but still cosy ;)





Colourful and cheerful walls in the room! Not a lot of space to walk after we opened the luggage
Little table for eating the yummy takeaways
TRA Train station at Taipei to Hualien
A 'passenger guiding room'
 Keykey wanted to go in to guide other passengers!
Keykey met a new friend!

Train is here! Choo choo~
Comfortable and clean interior

Beautiful scenary along the way. Would have loved to get down to take a walk.
Big key was snoring away as usual


Arrived at Hualien. There was a queue to get out as passengers climbed the stairs with their luggage.

Booked a taxi tour beforehand. Mr tour driver was waiting for us. Leave a comment and your email if you would like his contact.

Mr tour driver heard Keykey's tummy rumbling and recommended a place for breakfast.
Got different piping hot pastries.




Tour for the day starts:
Shakadang Trail - Entrance of Taroko National Park - Eternal Spring Shrine - Swallow Grotto Trail - Tunnel of Nine Turns Trail - Tzu Mu Bridge - Holiu Suspension Bridge - Tienhsiang - back to Hualien city




Keykey decided to go for a walk along this trail!


Signs telling visitors about the history of the place
After treking for quite some time, we were rewarded with a beautiful oasis view. Naughty little keykey wanted to dive in for a swim

More photos in the next post!
