Ever since I first got to know Cole, I wanted him to see Taroko National Park. Taroko is one of seven National Parks in Taiwan. As the park is near Hualien City, my family has visited on multiple occasions. I have good memories here and it is a beautiful place. The water is a brilliant turquoise blue and the mountains, abundant with marble, are home to an Indigenous Taiwanese tribe. I am really happy we had the opportunity to visit Taroko again. On our way up to the mountain top we saw the Bilyu Sacred Tree through the mist. Frost covered the branches of the 3,200 year old tree.
