Glimpses


film A Few Days in Hualien
 
 
Hualien is located on the East Coast of Taiwan and is widely recognized as THE most beautiful city on the island. Deep blue Pacific waters buttress themselves up against the Hualien coastline, seemingly competing for attention from the majestic mountains that lay on the other side of Hualien City, going up to the Taroko Gorge. It is here that Jackie and I spent a few days off, relaxing, reading and just plain chilling out in the hot Hualien sunshine. Alas, the week after it was back to work, albeit at a new job.

The Rose Stone hotel was a treasure (and a former museum).
