For such a small island, Taiwan does have its fair share of beautiful sights that the large majority of the world are unaware of.
I captured this photo back in Nov 15th 2009 when a few of us went on a day trip to Wulai 烏來 in Taipei County 台北縣.
Most people go to Wulai for the hot spring experience or to see the 80m Wulai Waterfall, and if they are feeling adventurous, ride on a rather scary cable car to get a closer look at the main waterfall.
We were feeling adventurous in a different sense. Initially we planned to walk to Neidong 內洞 since the tourist map indicated more waterfalls to see, and it didn't look too far away (on the map!). We obviously looked a confused as a local business owner approached us and offered to take us to that area in his car for NT$X, saying it would take us an hour to walk there. Somehow the four of us were talked into it and took up his offer and literally went for the ride!
A strange experience it was. But the guy was indeed honest and friendly enough to deliver on his promises. He assumed the role of a tour guide quite well, even told us how to pose for photos!
Back to the photo, I am so glad we paid the guy to drive us to Neidong 內洞 as the waterfalls were truly magnificent! You have to walk a bit within the park to get there, but I'd highly recommend the journey!!
