The second weekend of December, I took the High Speed Rail (HSR) down to Kaohsiung to catch up with my friend Deb and her family. It was her son, Gabe's, 3rd birthday, and we decided to go to Little Liu Chiu Island, off the coast of southern Taiwan.It was a weekend full of public transportation, of which I've become quite a big fan of since I moved to Taiwan. After meeting the Aquino's in Pingtung City, we boarded a bus to Donggang, where we caught a ferry to Little Liu Chiu Island.
After we arrived, we found a hotel with an waterfront view and then went exploring. Our first stop was Vase Rock, a coral formation that looks like a vase with vegetation growing out the top. We then headed over to a lookout point and enjoyed watching the sunset over the Taiwan Straits.
Sunday morning, we headed over to Beauty Cave and Black Dwarf cave where we hiked through caves formed all by coral. The weekend was filled with all the things I love about Taiwan: public transportation, great views of the water, hiking, and the Aquino family!
