I still recall how our car spent an hour crawling towards Longteng bridge when it was right before our eyes, like just a few hundred metres away. I could reach there so much quicker by walking but couldn’t abandon our car along the single-lane rural road without further worsening the jam.

However, the unresolved "Taiwan  question" and "One China" issue continues to stir emotions and political debate. The booty was shipped to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek, whose Kuomintang nationalist government was hounded off the Chinese mainland by Mao's Communists in 1949.

The secondary forest along the track was full of birds and we quickly added Dark-brown Honeyeater, Fan-tailed Gerygone, and Shining Bronze-Cuckoo to the trip list. During the hike up to the village we noticed a promising fruiting tree and saw a suspicious fruit-dove fly in.
Large sea fans were hanging on the underside of overhangs and larger fish species like snapper, sweetlips and bluefin trevally were cruising around. Once again the conditions were calm making for a very enjoyable snorkel. After repositioning the ship, everyone else got to start the day with snorkeling at Leli Lei Island.

The platelets are overlapped so just the red feathers are visible. The finished piece may be decorated with strings of seeds, shells, and turtle-shell, and attached to a ring of bark. The value of a coil is dependent on its condition – newly made vivid coloured examples are most valuable.
The guide was very knowledgeable about the entire trip - but needs to be more professional, less repetitive, as well as trusting those participating in understanding his instructions the FIRST time...

Visitors can visit the nearby museum from Tatung Station to see the ancient artifacts that have been unearthed.

Trumpet fish were present stalking prey along the reef, with one lucky snorkeler witnessing their suction capture technique on a smaller unsuspecting fish. Some species were quite inquisitive including redfin butterflyfish, and perhaps too inquisitive, the piano fang blenny which attempted to take a nibble of a snorkeler. Goatfish were abundant actively searching the bottom with their barbels (‘whiskers’ beneath their chins) for food and humphead banner fish cruised across the reef.

The park is being built in the Expo Park, the former ground of the 2005 World EXPO, the forested and hilly area to house the Ghibli Park within its 1.94 square kilometre area.
