This is a surfer paradise beach, there is a campsite Jici Beach Recreation Area 磯崎海水浴場 located at the beach but it seems that everytime when I am there, it is not opened. The last time I was there on 3 Apr 2010 it was still not open. I had a closer look around the area and it seems to be in operation but no one is in there. Prior to posting, I just check the website, I was not able to hook up to the website.

Guess this is the only place we currently know that we can enjoy white water rafting after the 8 Aug 2009 disaster that destroy the Laonong River in Kaohsiung County. Comparing both rafting area we preferred Laonong River as there are more rapids however the Xiuguluan River will cover more distance. Rafting arrangement can be done at location otherwise here is a contact link. The rafting center provide camping site, click here for details

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!!
