We started off by spending one night in Keelung, visited the night market and walked around the town, by the next morning we were packed and ready to head down to Long Dong for some climbing.
Long Dong was really hot, which meant climbing was only possible after 1 pm when the crags were in the shade. It is, though, an incredibly beautiful area of climbable cliffs all along the coast line. The approach to the crags was mostly 20-40 min of jumping from rock to rock and a bit of scrambling, which was fun, but in the oven like weather really tiresome.
After a couple of days we decided to head down to Hualien, a city that grew on us as the days passed. While there we did a 2 hour hike up one of the trails of the Taroko Gorge National Park (one of the few that were open due to the typhoon the previous week). We also took a chance in a river tracing (aka river hopping) day, but where disappointed with the company that was recommended to us by the hostel. The group was too large and the level of difficulty was very low, so it ended up being a slow stroll up the river, with a few fun points to go under waterfalls, scramble up rocks and jump of cliffs. Nevertheless it was a nice area to see, and I’m sure a super fun activity to do if you are with the right group.
