Taiwan: Day 7 Eyeglass Cave 眼镜洞 & Shifen Waterfall 十分瀑布

Back to Taiwan Trip! Sorry for going off-topic!
After choosing souvenirs, we left Shifen Sky Lantern place and headed to Shifen Waterfall (十分瀑布)! This is the most beautiful waterfall I've ever seen -- maybe not for people who travels a lot.

Before we reach Shifen Waterfall (十分瀑布), we passed by another smaller waterfall at Eyeglass Cave (眼镜洞). 

You need to cross a bridge --> a canopy --> a bit of railway --> to reach Shifen Waterfall (十分瀑布)

View from the canopy.

Water is so clear!

This is the canopy! 

With the blogger.

You need to walk to the other side of the canopy to check out the Eyeglass Cave Waterfall.
Spot it???

Closer view. You need to I-M-A-G-I-N-E!

After crossing the canopy, you are not far from the waterfall!

Remember I said about the little bit of railway? Here it is!
This railway is still functioning and I'm risking my life for photography (cheh....) 为艺术牺牲

Thanks to my photographer! =) 

And here we are! We reached the entrance of the waterfall.

Let me describe a bit about this waterfall. This falls' total height is 20 meters (66 feet) and 40 meters in width, making it the broadest waterfall in Taiwan. (WOW!). It is a cascade waterfall in which the water flows in one direction and the rock is sloped in the opposite. Uncle said this is the Taiwan version of Niagara Waterfall. ~~ Some description I took from Wikipedia *as usual*

Presenting to you the beautiful Shifen Waterfall!


How can I miss the chance to take photo with such nice scenic spot?


This looks like a photoshop-ed photo. Too beautiful!! (I mean the waterfall)


After about 25 minutes stay at the waterfall place, we decided to leave as we have more places to visit. So, BYE beauty~ Hope we can meet again! 

Saw a train passing by when we were leaving. I was really risking my life half an hour ago. XD

It was about lunch time when we left Shifen (十分) and we have no idea what to eat. Uncle asked us to have some biscuits in the car as we have to rush to enjoy scenery at Dong Bei Jiao (东北角). Along the way, uncle asked us if we want to try out the famous Fulong Train Bento (福隆铁路便当). It was part of our to-eat-list and we cheered! Yes uncle, we want bento for lunch! 


Fulong Train Station (福隆车站) !! There are a few stalls selling train bento (铁路便当) here. 

This is the stall uncle recommended.
If you look at the photo above (the one showing the train station), this is the first stall on your right. 

There isn't any menu in the restaurant. There's only ONE choice. You can tell them how many boxes you want and they will prepare for you. NTD 60 for a bento like this! CHEAP!!!

Uncle drove us to a very romantic place for lunch -- which is a fishing spot in Dong Bei Jiao (东北角). I forgotten the name but the sea view is fantastic. 

The cover of the bento.



Can I be the ambassador of this bento shop? LOL


Group photo again! This bento looks small but it is very filling. It has 5-6 types of dishes in a box. Arranged very nicely.
