After 3 days in Kaohsiung city, finally we are moving on to our next stop in Taitung. The place is bout 2 hours train ride from Kaohsiung and managed to get abit of rest on the way there. Taitung is relatively less developed and its more of a coastal scenic area rather than a city. Its far away and blocked by mountains from the other counties and it gives it a more relaxed n rustic feel.
After some navigation and searching around, we found our accomodation without much hassle. In fact this is the first hotel we are stayin in for our 12days trip. The other places we stayed in so far were either hostels or homestays. Realli glad we could get this hotel in Taitung for a veri cheap rate of bout 20 dollars per night for one person. And there is free wireless Internet so thats y precisely why I can type this entry heh.
To best enjoy the coastal scenery in Eastern Taiwan, we decided to use the bicycles which the hotel provided for free to travel around the coast. Saw so many nice lakes, bridges and sea views. I shall let my pictures tell this part of the trip :) Towards the night we went to walk around the Taitung town to see what nice local delicacies and shops they have. They have similar stuff with others parts of Taiwan but perhaps something different is their Shui Jing Bao which is this delicious bun with vegetable n meat fillings in it. We actualli wanted to go the hot springs today but seems like not enough time today. Tomorrow we'll be renting a car to travel around and to the hot springs in the evening. Gonna be another eventful and happening day tmr :)
