With such a beautiful setting, you would expect hotels and resorts, and condos dotting the beach front, exploiting the location and turning them into cash cows. But no, apart from a few B&Bs and small boutique hotels, big money is not here in Hualien. Tourism is not commercially promoted and this is what keeps Hualien "quaint".
Rebecca's aunt is visiting from Chiayi where heavy flooding continues. She is really enjoying the break, here playing on the beach with Frankie and Rebecca...in the background, we can hear "Gao Shan Qing". There is an open air karaoke on the beach front promenade, pretty neat...We can all sing our hearts out in a closed setting, but open air with hundreds of spectators? You've got to have balls!!!
It was such a perfect evening: temperature around the low 80s, a light breeze, and air is so fresh after the typhoon......I can handle this.....
