chuwei fishing port

with yesterday being the last day off for the chinese new year holidays before having to go back to work today, we decided to go pray at the chulinshan temple in linkou. unfortunately, it seemed like all of taiwan had the same idea as us because when we arrived, the line up of cars going into the temple parking lot was several blocks long expanding at least a couple km's.

seeing that sight, we gave up on that idea and instead decided to take a drive along the beach just down the mountain from linkou which led us to the chuwei fishing port in the township of dayuan, taoyuan county.

as you come down the hills of linkou towards the west coast, you are greeted by the linkou power plant.

before heading home, we wound down the day and relaxed with some coffee at an old ice factory which was turned into a coffee shop.

here's the google maps location.....
