Day 3 -Tai Nan



Highlight of the day - hot and cold spring dipping at a mountainside resort!! My virgin dip leh, got indoor and outdoor, muddy and clear springs, as well as 'with swimsuit and without' types! I definitely loved the hot and muddy (AND skinny dippy) ones, super rejuvenating! When surrounding temp's around 15deg, you go dip into pools of ~42deg, the only word is SHIOK. but then, the cold spring.... *tremble tremble*... is super scary. So freaking cold you can feel your heart freeze... I am definitely hot-blooded.

Rest of the day, we visited the 921 earthquake museum. Pretty educational, and definitely clever to build a memorial-educational site around the actual ruins. You can really see the half-destroyed buildings slanting precariously...



Also went to the famous Sun Moon Lake, a very tranquil place where even the most un-poetic would feel inspired to draft a few lines. Would be super romantic to watch the sun set with your loved ones there. Too bad, no peach in blossom there.
