Around Taiwan Day 7 Part 1. Yuli to Hualien

Another day following provincial highway 9. The plan was to get on the train at Hualien around 6, but for some reason, we were feeling great and made it there before 2. We had a lunch in a nice cafe and got onto a train train headed to south of Yilan, so we can skip the part where it is still partially blocked by the boulders that collapsed because of the earthquake. Highlight of this portion was that a seven eleven we stopped had their opening ceremony by chance, and we got to witness some tape cutting, dancing crew, and some fire crackers.
