台東池上鄉欣賞稻香田的超大觀景台 Chishang Township, Taitung (Taiwan)
池上鄉名取自聚落位於大坡池上方,故稱此地為「池上」.在清光緒年間被稱為「新開園」,為「新開闢的田園」之意.
Jack's off to Taiwan! Day 16 & 17 - Chishang & Taitung 池上& 臺東
Earlier this trip (day 4) I passed by the east coast and didn't get a chance to explore the area due to circumstances, but I was determined to return before leaving Taiwan!
The entire train ride from Taichung to Chishang took over 7 hours, but I was transported to a totally different side of Taiwan - the (kinda) countryside! The lifestyle is totally different. Definitely a great contrast to the busy city life on the west coast.
For those of you curious of the Eva Air commercial:

Minerals brought by plate activity in Chihshang could raise quality of rice
Rice produced in Chihshang Township, Taitung is celebrated across the country. A theory has emerged that the excellent taste and quality of this rice is due in part to minerals brought to the earth’s surface by tectonic plate activity. These verdant fields are where famed Chihshang rice is produced. Quality is attributed to not only favorable weather but also active tectonic plates.Chang Sheng-hsiungRetired Tapo PrincipalThis is a result of plates squeezing against one another. It is one of the most active plate movement areas in the world.According to the Graduate Institute of Applied Geology at National Central University, the Chihshang area fault is located at a boundary between the Philippine Sea Plate and Eurasian Plate. Its role in turning the soil enriches the soil’s mineral and nutrient content, giving Chihshang rice its special aroma and sweetness. Huang Rong-lanChihshang Farmers’ AssociationOf course when plates move, the surface loosens. The loosening of organic matter and irrigation brought by rainwater could have an effect on the soil.A local farmer disagreed with this theory.Taitung FarmerI don’t think there’s a relation. The main reason is air quality.Whatever the case, the environment and hard work of farmers allow consumers to enjoy the wonderful flavor of Chihshang rice.

台東池上鄉大坡池4/6 Dapo Pond Chishang, Taitung (Taiwan)
在日治時期,大坡池的湖面比現今還要廣闊,孕育出豐富的淡水魚蝦,在波光粼粼,雲煙繚繞的湖面上,時常可見一葉扁舟漁夫撒網如詩般的畫面,不僅被列為臺東十景之一,早期的池上便當裡的魚蝦佳餚,更是來自大坡池.

Amazing ♥ Taroko Marble Gorge 太魯閣峡谷 (Hualien, Taiwan)
Taroko Marble Gorge 太魯閣峡谷 (Hualien, Taiwan)
One of the world's most dangerous routes, as cliffs are steep, roads are very narrow, blind spots around bends, falling rocks and we had to go thru many tunnels along this 19km canyon. BUT the scenery is undeniably breathtaking ..
Risk-taking just walking along the side paths and takes a bit of courage .... with rocks (think huge marble boulders) falling down anytime.
Many people died here during construction of highways, landslides and typhoon season.
Glad we did Taroko Marble Gorge and witness one of the most beautiful marble mountains. No photos can capture the aweness of this amazing spectacular wonder of the world.

Taiwan : Taroko Nationalpark
Taroko nationalpark er en af top attraktionerne på Taiwans østkyst. Taroko gorge er en 19 kilometer lang kløft som indbyder til smukke vandreture. Vi tog den lette Shakadang rute som var en 1/2 dags vandretur i smuk natur. Et godt råd er at starte tidligt, da der er mange turister på netop denne rute. Tag også en madpakke med, da der er rig mulighed for stop undervejs.
Nationalparken har mulighed for et væld af vandreruter, der passer til et ethvert behov.
