Taiwan Day 14 花东 HuaDong : 云山水 YunShanShui - 花东纵谷国家观景区 East Rift Valley National Scenic Area - 鲤鱼潭 LiYu Lake - Night market

1000 - Woke up naturally at this time as I was drinking too much of beer. And I feel like don't want to go anywhere. Then went to the GongZheng street eat another famous 小笼包 XiaoLongBao as branch.

1130 - Then departed to YunShanShui (means cloud, mountain and water) which is a half hour ride from the HuaLien City. It is a very relax place and the scenery is very beautiful. Before reaching this place, we stopped at a 7-11 to buy some coffee. We also saw there is free 阿美族 AMei Tribe costume to wear and take photo.
After reached the park, we were argued again because I didn't dump the empty beer can in the scooter storage box and the beer was spill in thr box. I became no mood again and didn't take much photo.

1400 - We departed to East Rift Valley. After having simple lunch in the convenience store, we continue the journey. That time was heavy rain, thr taiwan thin rain coat can prevent being drenched effectively. This kind of rain coat design is so good that hardly to find in other place. Riding along the route 9, we saw there were a lot of people cycling as this route is part of the round island route. I keep thinking when can I do it.

1600 - After riding for an hour in the raining day, we reach a rural area where there is not much traffic by following the coordinate in the GPS. The hilly road condition is also very bumpy and muddy. The muddy road made us fall down after getting through it while the scooter was almost stop completely as the muddy on the wheel is too slippery. After muddy road, we arrived but there is nothing to see except a very small river. We continued rode up until a part of the road is totally muddy and there was a tractor cleaning the road. Then we just decided to u-turn and leave the place. After getting to the main road, we saw the East Rift Vally administration building where there have tourist information of this scenic area. We then know that East Rift Valley cover a lot of places from Hualien to TaiTung. Each place is separated quite far, can't be reached on foot. Cycling may be doable. Then next time just come here and visit all those places.

1700 - Departed to Liyu Lake near the Hualien City. I was riding so fast (around 60-80 km/h, speed limit was 70km/h) that hope that can reach before getting dark. When reached there, the sky is still not that dark and not much people there. We just took some photo then leave.
