文山溫泉 Wenshan Hot Spring
Last visited 4 Apr 2010
Located in Taroko National Park, this hot spring area is currently closed. I was told about this hot spring when I met a guy from Taichung while camping around the area. He told me he used to frequent this area and the hot spring was one of his favourite hang out. Next day taking his advise, we drove 2km up north from our campsite to seek out the hot spring. Watch me and Siboy our dog how we got to the hot dip!!
AliShan Cherry Blossom
The last time I was in Alishan park was 4 years ago with my kids. This time I am up there with family to view the cherry blossom (sakura). After the long hike around the area, we decided to take the forbidden road back to our vehicle.

This is the best wild hot spring in Southern Taiwan!! My fellow biker friends discussed during our camping trip at Shidong Hot Spring campsite. So the next day I decided to embark an unknown journey as we are unsure how the Aug 8 2009 disaster left in her path.

Shen Xian Valley is located about 13Km south east from Nan Zhuang Township.
From the parking lot, take a short walk down the 207 steps (if i counted correctly), you will be immersed with a beautiful view of Shen Xian Waterfall which is merged from 2 rivers. There is a trail after
the suspesion bridge from Shi Men old road 石門古道 to Shi Men Suspension Bridge. The trail is about 2.2Km and it takes about an hour half. This area is worth a visit if you nearby even you do not plan to hike Shi Men old road

Indeed is a recreation park, basically you just walk and walk and view the nature. Most of the path have been paved so kids and elderly could just do it.
Accommodation - Youth Centre
Room - 7/10 wooden flooring no beds but bedding provided
Food - 6/10 nothing fantastic
Service - 6/10 no room service but counter was helpful
Room package of 8 included dinner and breakfast cost around NTD3500
Activity - 20km of so call "Hiking".
Well.. This is not really an adventure trip but a recreation fun for family. However I did some workout like pushing myself biking faster up the mountain in Sun Moon Lake and running up and down almost 2km of steps in Sitou. It been 2 days since I am back and both my legs are still aching. Guess it had been a good work out over the weekend.
Ending the Rat Year in The MeiShan Kou Mountain,
As the RAT year coming to a closure and the coming of the OX. My partner's family decided to have a family outdoor camping. The plan was to get out during the long 9 days Chinese Lunar New Year holiday in Taiwan but we decided to push it ahead. We predicted that the mountains will be filled by humans and the city would be dead like a ghost town during the CNY. So we decided to beat the crowd to it and head off early.
