Group shot before rolling out |
|
Guo Ger woke up early to get us breakfast |
HuaLien and her PCN routes
Hanging around Hualien. Staying at 南埔庭園民宿 NanpuTingyuan, Guo ger and
Fang Jei place. Actually it really feels more like a home. I guess that’s why
we coming again to this place. It is not fancy but it feels nice and homely.
Best of all, the 7-11 is just outside the front gate!
|
meat pastry that tastes sooo good! |
|
Tiger giving Darren some tune up |
In the morning, we rode around the PCN to Seven Star bay.
Hualien first section is quite "Jurong Benoi" feeling. Meaning it has
lots of concrete, Marble factory and trucks. Not too nice but as you ride on,
the view changes and becomes much more pleasant. We saw the fantastic coast and
also met an old gentleman cycling. He is 82!!!
|
goofing around and just chilling |

picking pebbles at Seven Star Bay |
|
I fell here trying to ride the BF on the pebbles... fail.. cannot. Maybe the Surly Moonlander can |
|
strangely therapeutic with the waves crashing |
|
having a break and nice chat with friends |
|
This is the fish that is associated with Seven Star Bay. Moolah fish |
|
Encik Chut power!! |
We reach Seven Star Bay in no time with all the chatting and joke. We also see
the "Mola Mola" fish which was hugggee.
|
a nice fisherman let us see the catch.. a moolah... machiam steath plane.. and much bigger then I tot |
After Lunch, we rode to Li Yu lake which was quite scenic. Encik
mentioned it was a slow ride but as usual, he bluffed. We blasted there and the
return leg was really fast. Lucky I got my pocket rocket which responded very well
to a speedy challenge.

Tomorrow we will also go towards that direction, except we going to Mu Ku mu

tourists.
