Taroko

I've been in Taipei for almost a week now and I am in love with this city (Post to come). Thing is, it's is really nice to get away from all the hustle and bustle for some quite time and relaxation. My boyfriend and I headed to Taroko National Park, Hualien, in the East coast of Taiwan bordering the Pacific Ocean. Our package with the Silks Palace Hotel was an amazing all inclusive deal that made our 2 day 1 night stay feel like a one week getaway. The mountains reminded me of two things in particular...
1. Those movies that open with aerial sweeps of crazy looking mountain terrain where you wonder "Where the hell are these mountains in real life?!"
2. Kung Fu Panda

At night, a native band plays and sings around a big bonfire on the roof terrace that is surrounded by mountains and 100% serenity. After that, you can enjoy hot tea while lying on the cushioned benches watching the stars come out as it gets darker. I hadn't experienced any of that since my last camp days 3 years ago. *Nostalgia*

Here are some picture of the hotel and the breathtaking views. (unfortunately pictures do little justice!!)







KUNG FU PANDA IS THAT YOU?!?!?!
