Wulai (03/30/2010-03/31/2010)

The beautiful mountain village of Wulai, just less than an hour's bus ride away from Xindian, Taipei, was my final destination in Taiwan.  After 5 months of new sights and sounds, great people, fantastic food, beautiful scenery, and wonderful rich culture, I concluded with a peaceful and relaxing couple of days at a hot spring resort.  No visit to Taiwan is complete without spending a good amount of time soaking in piping hot sulfur or chlorine spring water after a long mountain hike.   From the pictures you can tell I spoiled myself a little here :).

However, as I walked along the trails leading from the cable car and through an old neglected amusement park I felt a touch of sadness of a time that is slowly fading away as lives and priorities change. I will miss Taiwan.
