"I always have a soft spot for sea facing cliffs. The More perilous the better.
This one comes with 2 colored tone sea.
I booked a taxi for my Tarokko gorge excursion. This side trip was thrown in to make the deal sweeter.
However the taxi could only take us to the observatory platform which as u..."sual filled with crowds.
If you have your own transport, go further, through the second tunnel, away from the crowd.
The view was indeed breathtaking. The ocean shimmered under the sun, the white waves crashes against the cliffs.

This is not a normal beach, or rather a sandy beach I used to get at home. The shore is cover with pebbles of all shapes and sizes. (it was featured in our newspaper that one the tourist actually tried to steal and smuggled the pebbles out of Taiwan!)
The sea is of 2 shades of blue. Light and dark. The waves when they hits the shorelines burst into white frills. The warm sunlight, the glittering s...
