A glimpse of the shipwreck
I took a small group of Taipei Hikers snorkelling at the Haixing Swimming Association in Keelung on the northern coast of Taiwan. It was my first time there and when I mentioned it to a friend, I was told there was a shipwreck in the area. We went in search of the ship, which is huge, and found it! It sits a few meters below the surface but the ocean was quite choppy where it's located so we weren't able to get clear shots. We all agreed that we'd like to go back on a calmer day to explore the sunken ship!

Snorkeling in Keelung

Quite clear in shallow waters

The bamboo trails in Smangus are incredible

Look at the size of this beauty


Hiking at Smangus about 1,700m above sea level

Quite possibly my favorite tree at Zhenxibao (鎮西堡)

Zhenxibao sits about 1,800m above sea level and has tons of impressive trees
