Wai Ao--The most beautiful beach in YiIan

Wao Ao is located in Yilan county, the northeast part of Taiwan, famous of its beautiful beach and natural scenery.. Those pictures taken in Wao Ao beach park.. This bright colorful asymetrical buliding designed by a international architecture company .

I enjoyed coffee and cake in the coffee shop watching dabbers, kick-board, surfing, and aquatic motorcycle, etc. Most of time, i don't play those stuffs, just taking photos around  and having the delicious food , breath taking coffee.....
Wao Ao is nearby a fishery harbor also, another option is picking a B&B to stay here one night and blewn by the breeze of sea, have fresh seafood around harbor. Welcome to join me~~~LOL

Jinquashi~~one of the northeast spots

 Jingaoshi means " golden melon stone" in Chinese. It was a remote wilderness until 1844. Five settlers decided to settle their families here and build 5 cottages. In 1893 , someone discovered gold  veins in the head of Jinguo mountain and began to dig. This waterfall called golden waterfall coming from the head of Jinga mountain. The soil seems shining by the gold sand.

Taiwan was a colony of Japan during late Chin Dynasty. Had been ruled by Japanese government  managing the gold digging industry. Those Japanese house were made for Japanese manager. The rusted metal is telling a historic legend to us.

This canal was golden mine before, many mine workers were buried decades ago. Now , it is sightseeing spotlight of Jingashi.

This Japanese palace style building was built for prince of Japan hundreds before. It was an antiquated before. But painted become purple recently and pretested by citizen. Maybe will be painted Japanese brown in the future.~~~INTERESTING~~
