Title: Travel to Taroko
Post by: Alasama on July 02, 2011, 09:54:29

This is a record of my 1st time travel to Taroko and was afraid of falling stones because of the typhoon which was just passing by.  :sweating: Fortunately we got sunshine in the daytime.  :happydance: i30 is ideal for running in the mountains.   :whistler:
Taroko is a nice place in the Eastern part of Taiwan.

Wow that was stunning :eek:

I could live there, if it weren't for all the tunnels :D


And I notice the old "I'm bigger than you" works in Taiwan as well  :cool:

Thank you for a wonderful video, Alasama.  :goodjob: :goodjob:

Some of the road is frightening and SO narrow :scared: :scared:

You would really need to have your wits about you driving in that area. I guess buses must have been narrower when the road was first built.

Yeah really narrow! And the buses drive there.. But it's a nice looking place!

P.S.: The bus driver seemed to be in a rush :)

The black mazda is my friend, being scout car.  :lol:
The bus drivers drive there very often and very familiar with the road conditions though the road is very narrow.
I once over taken a trail truck there, so dangerous. :sweating:
