Thanks to you, we are confident for the first part of this game. On July 1th:

- 246 comments on our profile !!!!!!
- more than 808 watchers on our introductory video, that makes our video the 5th most watched of this contest!!!!!!!!!


It is time for us to introduce you the plan of our trip:

Day 1 : We will go to Chipen, known for its therapeutic hot springs. Hopefully, we will show you what and how is a hotspring and we will bath there for few hours. Probably before going to the hotspring, we will found out where is the famous wild hidden waterfall. We will go the Taitung to find a cheap but nice hotel as well as a nice night market to refill energy.

Day 2 : We will take a ferry-boat to Orchid Island. During this three hours of navigation from Fukang Harbor (close to Taitung) to Orchid Island, we hope watching some cetaceans especially dolphins. Arriving on Orchid Island, the owner of the hotel will pick us from the harbor to Yuren. There, we will rent bicycles, the most ecological and healthy means of transportation. We will wait for a friend who regularly lives on the island. He will introduce us to some local people and the most primitive aboriginal people, the Yamis. We will introduce their culture, habits (farming and fishing), food, typical house and boats etc... Then, we will enjoy the peaceful sunset from the rocky shore of Orchid Island.

Day 3 : In the morning, we hope to find a local diver to show us the best place to enjoy the underwater coral reefs. In the afternoon, we will start the 50km island tour. During this tour, we will stop to craggy cliffs, waterfalls and deep caves. We will found the most magnificent sites to take pictures and look at the volcanic formations named Dragon Head, Kiss and Virgin Rocks.

Day 4 : We will take a tour again in the morning. In the afternoon, we will check out the "Si Kang Chai art studio" to discover the sculptures and paintings of local people and the "Three sisters" to look at the woven bracelets, woodcarvings. In the late afternoon, we will take the ferry-boat back to Fukang Harbor and then go back to North Taiwan.
