Ivanna '26
On day 5, and we began by packing up from our hotel in Yilan and started heading farther south. We visited a local tea farm and harvested and cooked our own tea leaves. After that, we walked around a park and got ice cream. Then, we had lunch which was soup noodles and pork rice. We also visited a town on the sea and saw a fish market and a temple, and went to the beach. Lastly, we got on the train to Hualien and after we arrived at the hotel went for some dinner at the night market afterwards.
