Travel Time:2021.10.9-2021.10.12

 

On the second day of my travel in Hualien, I ride back after visiting caves of Yanzihkou because of the heavy rain.

The weahter got sunny when I ride to Changchun Shrine(長春祠), and I wanted to visit Changchun Shrine(長春祠), so I decided to stay.

 
 
Changchun Shrine(長春祠) was builded for memoring the 225 road builders who died in the construction of the Zhongheng Highway. It is said that the water flows all the year round. You can enjoy the scenery from remote.
 
I had to go through an iron bridge to Changchun Shrine(長春祠) from parking lot, and walk through a short path.
The scenery was pretty after the raining.
 
 
 
 

The left was Changchun Shrine(長春祠), the right was pavilion. I arrived in Changchun Shrine(長春祠) on 13 o'clock, so I ate bread, which I bought in the morning, at the pavilion.

After I finished the bread, there was a bee around me. I was shocked and left the pavilion soon.

There was a trail close to the pavilion, but it was not open, so I didn't get in the trail.

After the visit in  Changchun Shrine(長春祠), I went to Chankuang Temple(禪光寺)

I needed to go through a path like a cave from Changchun Shrine(長春祠) to Chankuang Temple(禪光寺). I had thouth the path was forhibben to enter, but I found there was some light in the path and made sure there were some people inside, so I got in the cave.

 
 

There was quiet in Chankuang Temple(禪光寺), and I needed to take off my shoes before getting in the Temple.

 

Owner of the B&B recommended that we can ring the bell in Chankuang Temple(禪光寺), but the bell was located in another path and I needed to walk in the mountain's path.

My girlfriend wanted to take a rest in Chankuang Temple(禪光寺), and I decieded to go to the bell's building alone.

There was a suspension bridge on the way to bell's building

 
 
 

The suspension bridge was firm, but I still feel scared because it was a suspension bridge. There was no other person on the suspension bridge, so I didn't need to worry about overweight problem.

I took abot 15 minutes arrive the bell's building. The path was not hard to walk.

The bell's building was height and the scenery was awesome, and it was more comfortable when there was a breeze.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I stayed here for a while. The B&B's owner had said that the bell was allowed to knock, so I made wished and knocked three times. After that, I went back to Chankuang Temple(禪光寺) to meet my girlfriend.

 

After finish my visit in Changchun Shrine(長春祠), there was still some time, so I decided to walk in Shakadang Trail(砂卡礑步道)

Shakadang Trail(砂卡礑步道) was close to the entrance of Taroko(太魯閣).

 

Going down from the stair aside the bridge, I arrived the starting point of the trail. There were lots of paths inside the rock, and it was a special experience.

 
 
 
 
Shakadang Trail(砂卡礑步道) was a trail that went back and forth, and the end of the trail was a store.
I needed to reserve some time to go to Qingshui Cliff(清水斷崖), so I went back on the half of the trail.
 
I took about 20 minutes to arrive in Qingshui Cliff(清水斷崖).
 
 
It was getting dark, so I thought the scenery of Qingshui Cliff(清水斷崖) was soso. I took some photos and stayed for a while, and went back to Hualien's downtown.
