comments,
- Follow the trail along the crystal-clear river.""It\s just a one-hour hike, but chances are you\ll want to take your time
- In Taiwan, the seventh month of the lunar year is Ghost Month, when the living offer treats to appease the dead.""Sound familiar?
- The river curls through a gorge lined with lush forests near the eastern coast of Taiwan.""One look and you\ll know why it\s a protected national park
- Known as the Shakadang Valley, it also goes by another name, inspired by the valley\s dense stone walls.""The stone was compacted over millions of years when the ocean covered the land
