This gate marks the starting point of the highway connecting east and west coasts of Taiwan.

First day in Taroko.  The weather was not good.  Raining, cloudy.

This shows the water level on the first day. 

Standing on the bridge, a view of the river.

The next morning:  learned that Taroko park was closed due to heavy rain.  Visited Qixingtan instead.  

There is an air force base next to the beach.

They are recruiting too!

Third day:  still raining, park still closed.  The river water had swollen a lot!
