AFTER THAT, WE CROSS 5 MOUNTAINS WITH PATHS THAT TWIST AND TURNS AND IS WORST THAN THAT OF GENTING TO REACH 花莲. THE WHOLE PROCESS TOOK 4 HOURS AND I PUKE TWICE.

太鲁阁--- ITS MOUNTAINS ARE EXTREMELY HIGH, LOOKING UP AT IT FROM A DISTANCE, THEY SEEMS TO TOUCH TEH UNTOUCHABLE-HEAVEN! IT IS SO HIGH UP AND FORBIDDING TAHT A LAYER OF MIST FOLLOWS IT.

THE MOUNTAINS SEEM TO HAVE MANY LAYERS, A VALLEY WITH ROCKS IN BETWEEN THE GAP. THERE IS A WATERFALL WHICH FLOWS FROM A CHINESE LOOKING BUILDING (A TEMPLE). HIGH ABOVE THE MOUNTAIN, A TEMPLE PEEK AT THE CROWD GATHERED TO VIEW THIS MAGNIFIECT VIEW. TEH RIVER FLOWS SMOOTHLY, THE SOUND SMOOTHING, THE WATER CRYSTAL CLEAR WITH NO SUSPENSION. TEH RIVER FLOWS BETWEEN MANY HUGE BOULDERS (LARGE AND SMALL ALIKE). WATER FROM TEH WATERFALL GUSH DOWN. AT TEH MIDDLE COURSE, THE WATER FLOWS MORE STRONGLY YET IS STILL SMOOTH, WHILE AT TEH LOWER COURSE, IT IS SMOOTHER AND MORE PEACEFUL. AT TEH MIDDLE COURSE, MORE TRIBUTARIES JOIN THE RIVER AND WHEN THERE ARE OBSTICLES(ROCKS) IN THE WAY, TEH RIVER FLOWS OVER IT, CREATING SOUND THAT IS MUSIC TO OUR EARS.

A MOUNTAIN LABELLED ‘长春听涛’HAS EXTREMELY STEEP SLOPES WITH SPARSE TREES GROWING ON IT. THE AREA WHERE TEH RIVER FLOWS SEEMS TO ME LIKE A FLOODPLAIN (WITH LEEVES NEAREST TO THE WATER).
