20/12/2010 LiouCiou Island

From Kaohsiung, we bike to Donggang which is the only port from where you can go to LiouCiou island.
A performance in the street theater. Looks like a Comedia Del Arte isn't it. 
After getting lost for a good hour in the street and the harbour of Donggang, we finally wfnd the ferry charter and get onbard. The sea is calm and there are fishing boats everywhere. Nice sunset.
Back on earth, after having seafood in a local restaurant, we reach the hotel where we are supposed to camp. There is no real camping spot so we just set our tent in front of the sea on the lawn. We spend the night drink beer and eating fruits confortably sitted on beach long chairs watching the sea.

What makes this island unique is the fact that it is entirely composed of coral. Wooden and stone walks zigzag between coral rocks and sometimes go through dark caves and later exit on the blue sea.

You have to be on this island to realize how steep is Taiwan. From there, the whole Taiwan looks like a single mountain.
Vase Rock, a coral block grinded by the sea to form this shape.
Most of the island shore's are made of rough coral formation that do not allow for swimming but seem to hide many kind of shellfishes.
Byebye Little LiouCiou Island!

50 km of biking later, we are back at Shu Zen College.
