Heels 2 Wheels: Taiwan - Donggang Fish Market in Pingtung (Episode 15)
Donggang, a medium-sized town about an hour south of Kaoshiung, was the next stop of our journey. Upon arrival, we found that the usual malls, night markets, and hustle-bustle of Taiwanese towns was NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!
Upon setting foot, the city itself may have given the impression of unremarkable, but we later found that not only was it THE PLACE to get your freshest seafood catch.

My first time on this island in southern Taiwan. It was very hot and we had fun riding scooters around the island, taking in the sight, going on a tidal zone eco exploration tour and just enjoying being there.

Travel in Taiwan (9/10, 2016)
By Rick Charette
Little Liuqiu is 25 minutes by ferry from Donggang. Just 6.8 sq. km., with just 13,000 inhabitants, it’s made almost entirely of coral and is well known for its wondrous, imaginatively named coastal formations, such as Wild Boar Trench, Vase Rock, and Black Devil Cave.
Your constant companions here will be the sounds of wind, wave, and birdsong. The island’s income has long been predominantly hauled in from the sea, with an ever-bigger catch today hauled in from tourists.
As your ferry approaches Baisha, the main town, and enters Baisha Tourist Harbor, you’ll see a large and lovely arcaded Western colonial-style building high on the slope to its right – the Little Liuqiu Visitor Center. Buy tickets for the island’s boat and glass-bottom boat tour outings here, get practical help for snorkeling experiences, etc., and enjoy the sweeping vista from the wide outdoor scenic platform.
The center is right beside the top tier of the grand, ornate Lingshan Temple, which rides up the cliffside here in three tiers. One of two key deities in this sumptuous yet dignified complex is Lady Linshui (“Lady by the Water’s Edge”), a goddess of fertility and protector of women and children. One of the resident Buddhist nuns explained to me that the goddess is important to islanders because “the men also worry so much about family when out on the sea.”
Vase Rock is right off the temple’s foot on the rocky coast. This huge chunk of exposed coral has a thin base and oversized head topped with stubborn weeds and thistles. It is the island’s most iconic coastal feature, and most photographed attraction. Many come here for the sunsets, the sun dropping down neatly between flowerpot and cliff. During daytime you’ll also see many tourist-snorkelers here; snorkeling has become a big draw in the past few years. Liuqiu’s waters offer 20 types of coral and 300 fish species.
After Vase Rock, the three most popular natural attractions are Beauty Cave, Wild Boar Trench, and Black Devil Cave, encountered in that order along the island’s west side, all beside its coastal ring highway. These are the island’s only three paid-entry tourist attractions; NT$120 gets you an all-inclusive ticket.
Beauty Cave is another forceful example of the sea’s power to erode limestone and coral. Inside/outside this seaside cave, you’re presented with an elaborate layout of side caves, grottoes, cliffs, and tidal platforms.
No, no pigs at Wild Boar Trench. What is here are narrow, twisting passageways through massive uplifted-coral crags strangled by gravity-defying cliff-hugging old banyans, and the lush jungle-like flora that thrives in Liuqiu’s harsh nutrient-starved conditions.
There are many tales about the Black Devil Cave name. Most academically sound is that the Dutch, who controlled Taiwan 1624~1662, took revenge on the dark-skinned indigenous Siraya-tribe inhabitants for killing the crews of two Dutch shipwrecks, exterminating many who were hiding in the cave, using burning oil. Today’s islanders, wary of angry spirits, still burn incense here.
The White Lighthouse, on the island’s south summit, was built during the Japanese colonial era in 1929. As well, visit the impressive nearby Century Old Banyan, taking the short path behind it to a majestic clifftop eagle-view prospect. If here toward sunset, head to the close-at-hand ocean-clifftop Sunset Pavilion, where Liuqiu’s premier sundowns are to be seen.

Taiwan National Day 2015: Traditional celebration of the holiday in Donggang
On 2015/10/10 me and my friends made a little bike trip south of Kaohsiung to see a celebration of Taiwan National Day in Donggang.
On the way there a scooter crashed near us as we where fixing one of our bikes. One of the guy landed on his back and he couldn't move for a while. We helped them to get back on their scooter and they were on their way as if nothing happened.
The festival area was packed with people all the way to a night market where the boat was about to be burnt at 5am. We didn't stay that long as we're not young anymore :P
Either way it was a nice little trip.

Heels 2 Wheels: Taiwan - Gold Museum in New Taipei City (Ep 28)
The Gold Museum is located in the mountainous town of Jingua Rock (Jinguashi) in Ruifang Township, New Taipei City. With plenty of historical, humanities and natural heritage, the park lays special emphasis on heritage preservation and sustainable development.
In addition to enjoying the unique geological and natural sights here, visitors of the park will have better understanding of the mining history and community culture of Jingua Rock (Jinguashi).
It is an interesting place for history lovers to visit and one gets a good introduction to the prosperous past of this now quiet town. Of course, it's a must-visit for gold lovers of any age and an activity not to be missed is that of attempting to lift the 220kg gold bar. It's been said that if anyone can lift it, it is theirs to bring home!
Visitors who want a memorable souvenir can also get a plate with sand, learn how to wash, pan, filter and then, pour the remaining contents into a small bottle. So, how much gold dust/flakes you get depends on how lucky you are!
