I just did three things during the whole day. They are eating, walking, sleeping. After breakfast, we walked along Shakadang Trail. Then I had lunch. After lunch, I walked along Swallow Grotto Trail and NIne turns Trail. After that, I went to Tienhsiang Youth Activity Center to have dinner and sleep.
Shakadang Trial is only 2.4 km, and there is shade along the trail. So it was a relaxed trip. There were many tourists at the beginning, and I had to walk slowly. On the path, a goat lay on the ground. It fell down from the cliff, and then died. I did not take pictures, as I think it was a bit horrible.
Richard and me. Start off !

After lunch, we went to Swallow Grotto Trail. We walked through tunnels. It was dark and wet in tunnels. I am afraid of dark. So I followed Ruby all the time.

We like to take unique and funny pictures.

With Ruby, Kim and Vico
Vico usually dose not smile when taking pictures. He always says that you can make me laugh instead of let me smile.
Afterwards, we walked along Nine turns Trail. I thought there would be many turns along that trail. However, there wasn't. It was hard to walk along the trail, ad the rocks were slippery.

Then we headed to Tienhsiang Youth Activity Center. There is a mountian behind our room. We saw monkeys.

Lyuchui Trail is similar to the trails we went on 5th, July. It is in a forest. Dr. Cheung taught us the species there on the way.

Then we went to Bilu Sacred Tree and Hehuanshan Station. Dr. Cheung introduced two endemic species to us. They are wheelstamen tree and ranta fir. Wheelsamen tree is beautiful. It is a rare species. We can only find this species in Taiwan and Japan.
