The most recent adventure was Dongfong Green Passage.
This is a beautiful bike bath just out side of a town called Fangyuan. It use to be an old railroad but when the train shut down they turned it into a bike bath. It was a beautiful sight. The path was well paved. There were quite a few hills on the way there but on the way back it was mostly down hill. This picture is an example of the "farms" you see all around.
This bridge was also on the path.
These two girls, Veronica and Sara, are teaching at the English school in Fangyuan. I know them from the English branch we all attend. They were kind enough to invite me on this adventure of theirs. I defiantly could hang out with them everyday. We had a fun time together. (Don't mind our sweatyness. It was VERY hot)
This is a few from the bridge. Taiwan has some of the most random architecture I have ever seen. I couldn't tell you why this is even here but it looks cool.
Along the way we also saw a few of the old train cars from the train that use to run on this path. They are just tourist attractions now. They were really neat to walk through.
The bike path finishes in a little town but we got to tired and hot to go all the way. We hit marker 11 and decided to head back. So we went about 22 Kilometers (around 13.5 miles). The ride back was especially nice with the wind in our face and the steady decline. We flew like eagles! While leaving I think it was decided that we would be returning again (especially when we spotted the go carts)
On my way back to the train station later that day I stopped to take a picture of the "love locks." The girls explained to me that people will write their names on locks and then hook them together on this fence to symbolize their forever love. I thought it was cute :)
I love this! All Asian countries are so active, it's awesome. And... I just had to add that you look rather tall-ish in the picture of you three girls. lol! Nothing that you didn't already know ;) Love you Jessica!!
