style="text-align: justify;">Taiwan. My home. It’s paradise! Also, a land of dreams for those
wishing to come here. Although underrated and often obscured by the influence of South Korea’s Hallyu wave
and Japan’s anime world, my beloved island has a lot to offer. Taipei 101 is an international landmark and
most tourists would stay in the capital. Others would go to the heart of Taiwan, all the way to Sun Moon
Lake. If I have friends that will be coming to this country, I will take them to a special place in my home.
To an area I can call as my own.

style="text-align: justify;">
Running
across its edge is Suhua Highway. A modern road that connects Yilan to Hualien, it is often blocked by rock
falls during earthquakes. Tourist bus and private cars ran along the dangerous road. The vehicles here goes
back and forth, ignoring the horror of what would possibly happen when Earth suddenly becomes angry.

style="text-align: left;">From the platform of Chongde Station, you can already see the Qingshui
cliff but going to Xiaoqingshui will be an uphill climb.  There are no taxis here on this station
so better get a cab at Xincheng Station.
style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On
the side going to Yilan is Heren Station which marks the northern boundary of the Taroko National Park. To
get to the next station, trains must travel approximately 11.5 kilometers southward to reach Chongde Station.
It is an 8-minute journey in the train but takes almost three hours by foot. So if you want to come here,
you have to board a taxi at Xincheng Station and then ask the cab driver to take you to Xiaoqingshui.

style="text-align: center;">Imagine cars passing by on this old Japanese road!
style="text-align: justify;">Tunnels. I had passed many of them. There is one beside Xiaoqingshui
and another that will lead to Daqingshui. Running parallel with these tunnels is an old Japanese road. It
has been built in the 1930s and served as the original highway when going to Hualien from Yilan.

style="text-align: justify;">Risky and dangerous but marvelous. I imagined myself as the one
who discovered of Taiwan as I stood at this ancient road. I was looking at the Pacific Ocean and its deep
blue waters was so inviting. It's a temptation! A few more steps and I will say goodbye to my friends.
Standing on the cliff while looking at the ocean, all I can say at that moment was “Ilha Formosa”.

Beautiful Taiwan! These words were uttered
by the foreign invaders upon seeing Qingshui cliffs for the first time. How can you resist such beauty? You
can only find at my home. On the eastern coast. At my balcony.
