Decided to give myself a challenge ...cycle alone to Chishingtan Bay (七星潭)! Well Bro Arthur and his family ever gave me a lift to this lovely place. But I decided to take the longer route (actually I couldn't remember the shortcut) (─‿‿─)III
Departed Errantry Lodge 10 minutes before 10am ...weather was pretty good _warm and sunny ☀ I was almost burnt out...Cycled thru the busy roads...Big vehicles_lorries, buses and alotsa of cars (busy road). Stopped at Family Mart (全家) (around 10 minutes break) Bought cool beer to cool down my temperature and carried on my ride. During my ride, I saw some nice structures and stop over for some shots ✿◕‿◕✿

After 2 hours ride, I finally arrived at Chishingtan Bay (七星潭). As the afternoon weather was extremely hot and warm, I did not see anyone fishing ><(((°> ¸.·´¯`·.¸¸><((((º> ¸.·´¯`·.¸¸><((((º>
Again I stopped at Family Mart (全家) and bought 2 cans of beers to cool down. Sat at the Star Gazing Square alone and enjoyed the peaceful moments! Chishingtan Bay is a gorgeous half-moon shaped bay. Well-planned Star Gazing Square, Stone Sculpture Park and the Bike Path are charming attractions. Accompanied with stony beach, strong sea breeze, powerful clear pacific ocean waves and almost face to face with planes (airport is nearby), cooling beer and apple (Theresa afraid I would get hungry and insisted me to brought it along) sweet lady boss ❤

Out of sudden, I heard motor sound that was getting louder. Disturbed by the sound..woke up and saw an uncle was standing somewhere at Star Gazing Square. I walked towards to the uncle's bike and trying to figure out what he was doing! Ice cream man! Of course, such weather definitely need cooling desert ... Bought Yam ice cream and sausage for tea break. Chat with the uncle and shot some of his pictures.

After some chat with uncle, I cycled around the estate...and heading to Yuanyeh Ranch. This restaurant located just in the south side of Chishingtan Hsia Village Waterfront. The restaurant was surrounded with artistic atmosphere. All the building materials were drawn from the sea driftwood. Even the menu too.. all these were done personally by the Ami-descent owner! Ordered an icy cool coffee and a loaf of softy bread. (sorry no photo was taken)...Sat near a window...felt the sea breeze, saw the waves...relax in a cosy corner and had my tea break...life had never been so wonderful moments ...city area full of tall buildings, busy street and always so crowded. Over here...the only crowd that was the natural landscape ...baba black sheeps (farm area), greeny mountains ❤
After some rest, heading to the "tedious" bike route. Cycled upwards 48m high mountain! Viewed the grand pacific ocean. Yes really exhausted heading up, but really worth the ride. Strong sea breeze....that washed my pain and sorrows away (a❤‿❤a)
