In March, I flew to Taipei, took a train to beautiful Hualien County on the east coast, and explored the Taroko National Park with my mom and seven-year-old nephew.

This place holds a special place in my heart.

Of the many trails available, we only got to explore four. Definitely, need to return.

How did I get here? Is a story for another day. At the moment, this is just a short picture update.
