Wayway in Fairy Cave


The second stop was the Fairy Cave. It is the biggest cave in Keelung. We walked inside. It was small, narrow, dark and wet. It was scary, but I was excited. The walls in the cave were full of words and drawings. At the end of the cave, I saw statues and carvings of Buddhas on the wall. It was interesting. Beside the cave, there was a park, but you needed to walk up a lot of stairs. We walked and walked and finally , we were at the top. From the park, you could see boats coming and leaving, and the beautiful ocean.

mountain path and I saw the Lovers Lake. It was huge and peaceful. I took a few pictures of it. Then, we started hiking up the mountain.

My classmates saw many animals, but I didn't see them, They ran away too fast, After a while we felt tired. Then we rested under a shady tree, but we continued on our hike anyway. We reached a windy platform, which was very cool. So teacher Mike said some people could stay here and some people could keep going. I kept going. Finally we got there. There were many cool things. I think this place was so cool.

Jiou Fen is a beautiful place. It is on a mountain in Taipei's Rui Fang (瑞芳鎮). There were lots of people there, because it has a famous old street. This old street was long and narrow, and full of interesting things. The taro glutonous balls are the famous food in Jiou Fen. If you go there, you need to try them before you leave.

On my trip to Jiou Fen oid street, I saw mountain and ocean views. The old street was filled with American, Taiwan and all sorts of people. Along the street, there are restaurants, Japanese sandal shops and lots of shops selling taro glutonous balls (芋圓). In the middle of the street, there was a shop selling and making ocarinas (陶笛). There were different kinds of shapes and sizes. Everyone enjoyed listening to the music of the ocarinas. We took plenty of pictures with the seller and the ocarina.

Way-Way's trip at WuLai


I went to WuLai on July 29. On the way, I saw mountains, trees, flowers and lots of beautiful views. When I got there, I saw someone decorating the houses with aborigine pictures and statues. Almost every wall has Tai Ya aborigine's pictures and drawings. I also went to the Tai Ya aborigine shops. There are clothes, statues and things that they make.

After lunch, I went to a huge river. My teacher told me to find round, flat rocks so we could skip them. I tried a lot times, but it didn't work. In the end, I found different kinds of rocks and took them home.

I walked over a big red bridge, and there was a market street. I played a game with Candy and Ann. There were six cans , you had to knock down. I threw too high and Ann threw to low. Candy knocked one down, so she got a present. There were speacial foods that we couldn't see in other places. Like hot spring preserved egg (皮蛋), brown sugar hyptis (山粉圓), and millet wine小米酒.

WuLai is a wonderful place to visit. I had a lot of fun there!

Candy's Trip To WuLai


I went to WuLai , on July 29. When we got there we ate our lunch and started walking . I saw beautiful mountains and a waterfall. I saw some strange houses, too. I walked and walked. I went to the train stop. I went on the train, and our teacher Mike told us that we will go 1.6 km on the train, because we would walk too slow. So, we took the train and most of the people wanted to go on the train.

When we got of the train we went to the river. We saw many big and small rocks, and Teacher Mike said the rocks that were round and flat were special rocks because you can skip them to make them bounce on water. But before I went to find the rocks, Way-Way, Ann and I picked up rocks beside us and threw them into the river. When we didn't want to throw rocks anymore, we put our bags on the ground and started looking for the speical rocks. We went up and down and we all found the rocks and took them home.

On the way back home, first we went to shop. When I went in I played with my friends. We kept walking and saw a special egg called hot spring preserved egg (皮蛋). Something brown covered the outside. After that I went to a store, and I bought a thing that is made by aborigines. Then we walked to the end of the street and met Teacher Mike.

It is a good idea to go to WuLai. I think everyone can go here. It was fun in here.
