Road Trip - Tsao Ling Historic Trail

---

Today we drove to the Northeast coast of Taiwan to walk the Tsaoling Historic Trail. We catch a bust to one part of the trail, that begins near a park, then hike up, up, up, into the mountains. We descend, eventually, and come to a temple, then have a great dinner!
