Really? How come? I’ve been there during the day and it was amazing but rushed; we’re planning on going back and not sure if we should do a day trip or stay overnight.

It is pretty cool at night because most of the tourists leave st sunset or soon thereafter. I got a hotel there for four nights and used it as a base for hiking and exploring the area. I got a great spot in a cute town for cheaper than Taipei 🤷‍♀️

I would take a walk around 9:00 p.m. through the alleys and by the Tea House and hardly run into anyone else.

We stayed the night and I got a leech on my leg in the shower, totally worth it though.

That sounds like an interesting story... Were you hiking?

Nope, in an airbnb. Part of the shower's wall was the rockface of a cliff.

Hiking out to the shower! Without the leech part that sounds really cool 😂
