The next morning, I'll travel to the western side of the island. I will try to get as much done there as I can. One place I will make sure I visit is Fo Guang Shan Temple, the worlds largest Buddhist temples in the world. I think that temple is probably the #1 must-see place on my list. I am also really eager to go to Dapeng Bay and Little Liuqiu a little farther north of the temple, but it really depends on if I have enough time. I'm hoping. A little farther north up the coast is Paochueh Temple but it also depends on if I have time or not.
From there, Taroko Gorge in Hualien County. I will travel to Taipei, the capital of Taiwan and spend New Years Ever there. Taipei is famous for Taipei 101, the second tallest building in the world. There is a huge fireworks and New Years celebration so it's going to be nice to experience a bit of the city life after traveling in more remote regions of the island.
That leaves me with two days left in which I will be spending them traveling around the northern parts of the island. I plan on making a stop at Lion Head Mountain which is near Taipei.
Again, this itinerary is tentative and I'm not exactly sure what route is best to make sure I see as much as I want. But I do know is that I am starting in the south and working my way up. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up of whats new in my life-- ya know, since my last post last week. I'll keep you posted about anything else thats new and for almost all of you in America: I'll see you in 27 days!
