PLACES:

3:23 — He Huan Shan (合歡山)
•••••• ➫ aka Joy Mountain is a 3,416-metre-high (11,207 ft) mountain. Now that I have my fair share of hiking in Taiwan, this climb wasn't so bad.

4:04 — We had lunch at one of the restaurants near the Bilu Sacred Tree.
4:24 — Bilu Sacred Tree (碧綠神木)

5:16 —Yue Fei Pavilion (岳飞亭) was built in remembrance of the hero, Yue Fei.
5:27 — cartoon movie reference #2
5:38 — Cimu Bridge (慈母橋)
•••••• ➫ 慈母 Cimu means 'Motherly devotion'. The rock beneath the bridge looks like a frog. A pavilion was built on this frog rock, becoming the crown on the frog. This was built by late President Chiang Jing-guo, in memory of his mother, during construction of the road. On the east side of the bridge, the Cimu pavilion was built by late President Chiang Kai-shek, in memory of his mother, Mrs. Wang.
6:04 — Swallows Grotto (燕子口 Yanzikou)
•••••• ➫ The Grotto trail is interspersed with tunnels and overlooks the narrowest portion of Taroko Gorge where the river is most rapid. The walls on each side of the river contain caves which form natural nesting places for spring swallow birds, bringing life to the area nearby the roaring river, with locals naming it Swallow Grotto.
6:46 — Jinheng Bridge (靳恆橋)
6:59 — Eternal Spring Shrine (長春祠) Chángchūn cí

This site is now the only complete light railway station remaining from that time. With the help of the government and dedicated historical workers and specialists, it was registered as a historic site in 2002.
