Orchid Park & Cingshui Cliff

2013.07.04

We stayed in King Car Orchid Park in the morning. Butterfly orchid is one of my favorite flowers. There are some species with unique color. For example, they have yellow orchid. I have never seen yellow orchid before. According to the guide, it is difficult to plant orchid, as it is hard to have good conditions. The temperature in daytime should be 25 degrees, and be 17 degrees in evening. Butterfly orchid is expensive. It is about TN$ 250 for one.

 Vanilla albida
This species can be used to product vanilla favor food. According to the guide, Haagen-Dazs uses this species to produce vanilla favor ice cream. I try the vanilla favor ice cream produced by Gold King Orchid Garden. It is delicious.

They focus on how to plant better orchid. Besides, they also try to plant new species. They sell their orchid to all around the world. They put flower seedlings into bottles, and send them aboard.

We spent two hours and a half to get to Cingshui Cliff. The view on the way was picturesque. We stopped in a harbor. It was beautiful. In Taiwan, everywhere we can find beautiful scenery. 
We walked along the beach in Cingshui Cliff. The wave is big, and I wetted my pants. :(

We stayed in Hualian that night. I looked around the downtown of Hualian with several friends. Hualian is a small town, so it only took us 30 minutes to get to the downtown. There was nothing special. We just bought tofu pudding and Mashu.
