My Happy Trip to Hualien

During the spring break, I went to Hualien for three days with my friend in the church. This is a trip for me to relax and withdraw from the tense schoolwork temporarily.

It took about three to four hours from HsinChu to Hualien. On the way to Hualien, we kill the time by singing songs or hymns together and playing guitar. When going through the Shuhua highway, we all amazed by the spectacular view of the cost. The steep cliff along the blue seashore makes up the picturesque scenery.

Finally, we arrived at our destination. The fist day we went to Taorko National Park and took a walk in the path of Yanzihkou (燕子口) and Jiucyudong tunnel（九曲洞）. These part are the most magnificent part of the national park. At Yanzihkou, the rock cliff of Liwu River gorge seemed to touch the heaven while the torrent runs swiftly. There is also an interesting place where if you throw out a piece of paper in the air, the paper will soaring up to the sky instead of falling down to the ground. The secret to it is the rear terrain that produce a special air current which makes the paper “flying” in the sky.

The second day we went river tracing. I should have joined this exciting activity, but because of the small wound in my leg, I had no choice but to give up. Therefore, I stay at the bank of the pool watching the blue and deep pool and the sunshine reflected by surface of water, listening to the sounds of the wind passing through the leaves. I was fascinated by the peaceful and quite atmosphere around me, and felt my body relaxed in the nature.

After returning to home, thanks to the short trip to Hualien, I found myself had the power to go to work again. I think going on a journey and seeing different view is really a good way to enliven our life.
