May 24, 2018 Day 3 Taiwan

This is a temple which was right next door to our dorm like lodging.
Funny little statue that we found on our way back from Starbucks in the morning.
Driving along Highway #11 (the Pacific Ocean coast line) to Taitung County.
OMG!  This was so beautiful!!

Sanxiantai Dragon Back Bridge to the Island of the 3 Immortals.  Located on the eastern coastline of Taiwan.  It stretches from the mainland to a group of small islands.  It is folklore that the 3 rocks signify the resting place of 3 of the 8 immortal saints and after they took their rest, they left 3 huge footprints - these are the 3 massive rocks.
The walk over the dragon back bridge was not bad.  The breeze was nice.  Once over though...  it was like a sauna.  The high brush blocked any kind of breeze and it was just hot stifling air all around.  
This is Dylan...  not impressed with the heat.  I was afraid to tell her that we had to walk back across and we were not even 1/2 way yet.
Seriously impressed that she made it with minimal complaining given the heat.
