I spent 4 colorful years going to college in beautiful Hualien. She became one of my favorite cities and has been my must go place in Taiwan. We
accomplished the round Taiwan trip with our little ones last summer! I can't stand scorching hot and humid weather, so this summer we traveled the northern half of the island and stayed in the mountains.

It’s a coincidence that we bumped into 小小肚’s babysitter’s family at 巴陵 Bridge on the way to Lala Mt.

We reached the hotel at an elevation of 3150m at around 18:00 and all of us looked fine. Kids
were still energetic till they fall asleep. One by one kids and I got altitude illness 5 hours after arriving at the hotel. I felt sick
and kids vomited during sleep. We decided to leave at the temperature
of 6℃ at around 2:30 and drove down to the next stop. The next hotel was
kind enough to let us check in at 7:00. Before check-in, we stopped by a 7-11 at
2050m and slept in the car. Well,
it’s an unforgettable experience!
