Hualien 2009 : Taroko National Park 太魯閣 1 day tour

continued from here…

***Updated on 22nd Nov 2013: Hi there!!! It’s the time of the year again 🙂 Time really flies. It has been 4 years since I visited Taiwan and I’m still soooo missing this place. Even more when Mr.Wong (黄先生) gave me a surprise call last few days. I didnt know he still keep my number. He asked how am I doing and if I will be traveling again to Hualien because he had just opened a homestay. Awww, so sweet of him and I’m so tempted to go again but I’ve used up all my leave this year 😦 Maybe next year, there are still so many beautiful places waiting for us to explore especially He Huan Shan…
Long story short, Mr. Wong can still be contactable at below number and if you are still looking around for transportation or homestay in Hualien, you may give Mr.Wong a ring and check out the details with him 🙂

***Updated : Guess it’s the time of the year again for long holiday…… Due to the number of request for Mr. Wong (黄先生), the cabbie contact number, yours truly me did you all readers a favour by contacting Mr. Wong to verify if the number is still in use since it was almost 3 years back. Good news is yesssssss!!!!! It’s still the same number I’ve been giving you guys all this while. You can reach him through Aunty Liu from Stone House Homestay if you plan to stay there or call his mobile at 0928-298 472 (add in the exit and country code) to arrange for transportation and he is more than happy to bring you all around the beautiful Hualien county….Oh ya, one last thing, 黄先生 speaks only Mandarin.. 

Enjoy your holiday and have fun!!!! 😀

Imma flood this entry with lotsa pics!!! *grin

We have earlier arrange with Aunty Liu through email for transportation during our stay in Hualien. The best way to travel around is by cab or rented car because there isn’t a MRT system and bus transfer isn’t that convenient.

Aunty Liu told us our tour guide, Mr.Wong (if I remembered correctly, lets just call him Mr.Wong) will reach at 8am and gave us 2 coupon for breakfast opposite the homestay.

This is where we spent the first night.. A room above KKK Mart. Highly NOT recommended lor…

Mr.Wong’s car… We paid NTD2200 for 1 day tour to Taroko. So lucky he just bought this new car 😀 and it cost him only around NTD800k… damm cheap!! Our journey started with Mr.Wong pick us up from homestay after our breakfast then to Taroko then lunch then back to Taroko then dinner and lastly, back to the Stone house.

The journey from Hualien city to Taroko is around 1 hour ++.

It is arguable Hualien county has the most spectacular natural scenery and Taroko National Park is one of them with magnificent mountain and canyon view. Good things is no entrance fee… FOC!!

The captivating experience began here….
