Taroko National Park, Hualien, Taiwan
Said to be one of the less visited places at Taroko National Park, the bell tower is a great spot to marvel at the beauty of the gorge. Despite suffering from acrophobia, I braved myself to go all the way up. I simply like challenges as always.
From the entrance of
Changuang Temple, one won't miss the sight of a wooden suspension bridge that leads to the trail to the tower.
Perhaps that's what deters many people from going to the tower
 |
| Warning: there should only be five people along the bridge at any point of time! |
 |
| I'd almost reached the other side! :P |
Palpitations subsided as soon as my feet touch a solid ground. Up next was a somewhat exhausting ascend to the bell tower, especially since we'd been trekking all day long.
 |
| We saw a lump of faeces along the way. Disgusting! =X |
 |
| So precarious... |
 |
| That's Changuang Temple in the distance. |
Along the way, we happened to meet a hairy friend.
 |
| Going around in circles (or squares)~ |
At last, we reached the solitary tower. There wasn't anyone else there, save for a couple who came when we were about to leave.
 |
| That's the old bell, I guess? |
 |
| I should've taken a video of me sounding the new bell. |
 |
| What a vista~ <3 |
We then walked all the way back to the Eternal Spring Shrine bus stop to catch a bus back to the village. Anyway, can you spot Changchun Shrine and the bell tower in the picture below?
