20150826 | Taiwan Day 5 - Chishingtan Beach, Suao Cold Springs

Even though we had quite the breakfast buffet that had both eastern and western style foods (I was too busy eating to take any pictures hehe), we deemed it necessary to stop by this bun stand that had a crazy line the night before.

Where there is road construction, there are also these motorized mannequins that wave their brightly colored sticks up and down to alert traffic - very clever because the motion catches your eye.

We stopped by the beach before the rain started coming down!

We drove south for another half hour to have sugar cane shaved ice, where everything is made with sugar cane juice.  Completely worth the drive.  The flavors were subtle, but it was very good.  The taro was especially good, and complemented the ice very well!

Tim did a fair amount of driving!  Driving in Taiwan is a whole different beast!

One of the many highway side vantage points!

We stopped along the highway on the way back at a little local restaurant, which ended up to be fantastic!

Along the way home, we made an unplanned stop at the Suao Cold Springs, a type of spring that is supposedly unique to only Taiwan and Italy.  Along with checking out the springs, we also had access to various fun little features throughout the park!
