Had breakfast at the famous noodle shop in Luodong, just across the road of the Forestry Cultural Park.
@ Luodong Forestry Cultural Park 罗东林业文化园区
A free park where the locals come for their morning walk. Some odd pieces of wood was on display, along with memorabilia from the timber industry.
@ Rabbit Pencil School 玉兔铅笔学校
It was actually an old pencil factory, and the first company to produce ballpoint pens in Taiwan. They packaged a 'teacher' to guide visitors on DIY activities, a short video show, a factory walkabout, and then students receive a pencil certificate on graduation.
Pokemon was No Go in the school compound!
The process of stacking up pencil wood for drying.
Decorate your own pencils and then get them laminated to bring home. All in all, a worthwhile experience.
@ Yilan Biscuit Factory 宜兰饼发明馆
Boring outlet shop, nothing much to see and sample.
@ Crayon Factory 蜡艺彩绘馆
Ryan making magic colour pens.
Making crayon figurines.
Props and background graphics for photo-taking.
I think this factory was touristy and over-rated. Located in the middle of a light industrial area, there was no public transport, so you gotta arrange your own return transportation. The counter staff beamed when I paid for the entrance tickets, but sulked big time when I asked her to help me call a cab.
@ Dongshan River Water Park 冬山河亲水公园
We passed by this river park two years ago en route to the Traditional Arts Centre. It left an impression and I said I would return to cycle in the park. And so we did.
Lovely cycling tracks along the Dongshan River. Done the full loop with some sidetracks in 1.5 hours. Thank God for great weather, and for the rain which started just as we returned our bicycles. Whew!
