Dave Fisherman's Rubbish Bin

Last Saturdaywas rainy, so our hiking trip was cut short. But the rain jus stopped when we reach Danshui MRT, preparing to return to hostel.
We decided that such a trip shouldn't be waste and took the boat across DanShui river to the town opposite, Bali, 八里.

As it was a wet morning, most of the shops in Bali was closed and there's nothing interesting to take photos. Most of Bali are cycling tracks and mangrove rainforest.

After walking for about 2 hours towards the rivermouth of Dan shui, we came to the left bank of Dan Shui river mouth. On my right is the Dan Shui river mouth and on my left is the open sea of Taiwan Straits. The view of Taiwan Straits is spectacular.

Fisherman's Wharf and Valentine's bridge from opposite bank. (The black patch is a sand bar created to prevent flooding and its visible at low tide now)

Took out my MP3 player and played the song, 大海 by 张雨生.

Standing on the breakwater in admiration of Taiwan sea. Beautiful...

大海 - 张雨生

从那遥远海边慢慢消失的你
本来模糊的脸竟然渐渐清晰
想要说些什麽又不知从何说起
只有把它放在心底

茫然走在海边看那潮来潮去
徒劳无功想把每朵浪花记清
想要说声爱你却被吹散在风里
猛然回头你在那里

如果大海能够唤回曾经的爱
就让我用一生等待
如果深情往事你已不再留恋
就让它随风飘远
如果大海能够带走我的哀愁
就像带走每条河流
所有受过的伤
所有流过的泪
我的爱
请全部带走

Wonder how beautiful it will be on the east coast of Taiwan? The beach facing the Pacific Ocean... I'll be there!
