Then Taiwan might as well just surrender. But actually the Taiwanese defence forces are no slouch. The military & economic cost of invasion would not justify it for quite a while yet. China will just gradually encircle them instead.

What a beautiful place! I have read up on Hualien and Tarako Gorge quite a bit. As Taiwan was the first place I researched teaching in before I went to SK. I know a few friends that have visited Tarako Gorge. It is indeed quite stunning. More pics please if you have them. I have read that the road up in the mountains is a bit scary as it is known to have landslides and rockslides at time as well as floods.

Here's a couple.
I think Hualien would be my retirement choice were I choosing Taiwan over Malaysia. I'll keep it for a regular trips destination instead.

Brings back memories. I did a 1 week coach tour down the East Coast and Taroko gorge ending with a ride over the mountains back to Taipei.
I was accompanied by the Lovely ' Kitten ' who I met working in a restaurant a few weeks earlier. All ended badly as I had to flee the scene as Kitten was smitten and started talking about what our married life would be like. I was still young and not ready to be cornered. Nice country and friendly people though.
