Closer to Nature

A decision to wake up at 5 in the morning was never a mistake. The bicycle ride to FeiCui Valley (翡翠谷) at Mugumuyu (慕古慕魚) was only about an hour away. But the sun was already burning by the time I depart at 5:45am. Nonetheless, the view along the bicycle path was breath-taking. No wonder Hualien County is the must see place in Taiwan.

You have to hike up FeiCui Valley to enjoy the waterfall, and the water is extremely clear. A dip in the pool of water was certainly refreshing.

I suspect that the water is slightly alkaline as the torrent rushes through limestone. If you intend to visit this place, remember to bring the brightest torchlight you can get as you’ll have to pass through a dark tunnel before you can actually hike up the valley.

On my way back, stopped by a field for some photographs.
