Day 12 - Xitou Nature Education Area
On this day, we drove to the Xitou Nature Education Area, one of the compulsory sites to visit for Taiwan's primary and secondary school students.

The first ladder suspension bridge in Taiwan is situated in Shang Hang of Taiji gorge crossing the Liqiuliao river.
The drop height is 20 meters. The length of the bridge is 136 meters and consists of 208 steps. You have to do some hiking to get there and I was unlucky as it rained heavily on that day.
On the way back, it was raining so heavily that we hardly saw the road. We felt quite relieved when we came down from the mountains.
