An early morning hike heading up to Seven Star Mountain (七星山) on Yangmingshan (陽明山)


Wandered around Lengshuikeng (冷水坑) since there were very few people around

This place is normally packed full of people waiting in a line to have their photo taken with this marker

One of many stone weirs around Jibei Island (吉貝嶼)


Enjoying a sunset on the beach ... alone!

Spent a lot of time snorkeling

Penghu: Day Four (cont'd)

I went snorkeling here in the afternoon during high tide

I found a gorgeous beach and had the place all to myself

How is it that no one else is here watching the sunset?

Waiting for the tides to change to make a walkway appear so that one can walk over to that island

This place is near Kuibi Mountain and is called Moses Divide the Sea (奎壁山摩西分海)

It took about an hour for this 300 meter walkway to open up so people could walk across

This was one of the highlights of Penghu
