Chunshek has moved#RoadTrip! My partner and I decided to drive out to the east coast of #Taiwan to stay at a hot spring resort in #Luodong Township! We took off yesterday after dropping off the dogs at the kennel. There was a little bit of holiday traffic but we got to our destination way ahead of schedule. (1/6)
We only decided to book this trip on Wednesday evening, so our accommodation options were limited. Nonetheless we found a room at a nice hotel overlooking the town. There are hot spring tubs in the room itself with a view to the town skyline, which we took advantage of as soon as we settled! (2/6)
The location of #Luodong Township made it a prime location of transporting lumber harvest from the mountains to the other cities in #Taiwan. A huge #lumberyard used to be located right next to the town’s train station. The lumberyard was also the terminal station of the lumber rail. But lumbering has become history in this area, and so the lumberyard has been turned into a museum/tourist attraction. (Sadly, no lumberjacks walking around in plaid shirts either!) (4/6)
The old lumberyard in #Luodong Township, #Taiwan, is also home to many species of waterfowl, including this beautiful black-crowned night heron. (5/6)
The weather started turning for the worse in the evening, so we didn’t venture far from our hotel afterwards. Instead we capped off the evening with a nice dinner at a nearby Japanese style grill.
Heading back home this evening, but not before another soak in the hotel hot spring tubs first this morning (where I am posting this travelog right now), and a visit to the lighthouse at the easternmost cape of #Taiwan later today. (6/6)
