The Graduation Trip An unforgettable trip to the beautiful Hualien This was probably the first time we were extremely excited to wake up. We smiled eagerly and took our suitcases to the Taipei Main Station. After saying goodbye to our parents, we jumped on the train and got ready to start our graduation trip to Hualien. 2/13 Wednesday When we arrived at Hualien, it stopped raining and got warmer. Our first stop was the Chi-Shin Bay. Soft sand, magnificent mountains, moon-shaped bay, comfortable wind…, how fantastic! Next, we went to the Chi-Shin Bonito Museum. It showed us how bonitos were made and taught us some knowledge about “fish”. After having a lunch at the Chi-Hai-Wan Restaurant, we visited the Hualien Air Base. We saw the F-16, the transport plane and other planes took off and landing. The sound was so noisy that the ground was even shaking! Then, we were heading to the Taroko Gorge. The U-shaped deep valley was magnificent and unique. It seemed a bit scary, though.
