Taiwan

I was in Taiwan for only 6 days. As a joke, during the first 2 days of my trip, when most of the photos were taken, it was humid and misty, and the sky was not clear. Most of the time the sky looked very dull especially when I was in the capital, Taipei. On the fifth day, it was picture-perfect weather. But, I only took a few pictures, because almost the whole day I was on the road.

Day 1: Photo 01-32, Taipei 台北市 , Jiufen 九份 and Nanya 南雅.
Day 2: Photo 33-57, Keelung 基隆, Yehliu 野柳 and Tamsui 淡水.
Day 3: Photo 58-69, High speed train to Taichung 台中市, overnight by Sun Moon Lake 日月潭.
Day 4: Photo 70-84, Tainan 台南市, overnight in Kaohsiung 高雄 (only 2 photos of this city).
Day 5: Photo 85-89, Kenting National Park 墾丁國家公園 (long rides, brief stop), overnight in Taitung 台東市 (no photos, as I didn't get to see this city).
Day 6: Photo 90-99, Taroko National Park 太魯閣國家公園 , Central Cross-Island Highway 中部橫貫公路 to Hualien 花蓮 Railway station to return to Taipei 台北市 by train.
