After our company trip to Yilan, Paul and I opted to stay overnight and do a hike the next day.  It was dead good fun to see Taiwan from a slightly different angle for once, and we built up a nice healthy sweat as we hiked up through the humidity, and into the relative comfort of the cross-island road, connecting Yilan with Taipei; I really need to get my road bike finished and hit the tarmac!

Looking out towards Turtle Island.

Shipping containers turned into local cafe in the hills.

I was going to link through to some hiking trail links, but I both did not find any good ones, and the leads we did have were blown by the taxi driver dropping us off in a completely random location anyway (near Jiaoxi) … none the less, a nice wee trail!
