Mt. Datun and Jinshan

More wildlife in 7-11. This time, a bird.


That's my hand using a plastic bag to catch and hold the bird. (I put it outside.)


Mt. Datun in Yamingshan National Park. Hiking with umbrellas.




It rained off and on. Even through the trees we would have gotten quite wet without umbrellas or raincoats. A misty day...


Squawking bird in the tree. There were two, but they didn't show up well.



There's a frog (or toad) in there somewhere.






For making honey and ginger tea:


Yet another Old Street:


Hiking in the Jinshan area now.


Lots of sea spray and wind. Great views though.




Two candlesticks:


We walked/climbed along the shoreline by way of these smoothed over rocks and boulders. Most areas weren't nearly as level and easily walkable as this. Nobody fell into the ocean though.
This man was making the same trip as us, but with his bike. Craziness.



A narrow natural tunnel we passed through:


After the ocean walk we passed through this small town.


We headed to a set of tunnels. There is no lighting in there so we made use of flashlights. A family of bats were hanging in one room.


Eat, shop, and bus back.

You're not going to leave Taiwan until you've seen every bit of it, are you? Looks like another great day.
