Slowly Snail: See cherry blossoms in DanShuei, Taipei!

March is the best month to go appreciate flowers. Especially cherry in Taiwan, which always blossoms in late winter and early spring. So I'll say it's kind of a sign for new life.

Victor's friend woke us up around nine. V was too lazy to get up, but i felt I have great mood to give it a try. So we dressed up for the 40km biking trip.
We started from LuChou, and cycled on the bike road to GwanDu Bridge.
You can see the DanShuei River along is getting higher than average because of the 'Super Moon' tonight, and we are kinda worried be screw if the tsunami attack...

It's bit fog, but still can see the road clearly. It's definitely not a short distance.(I won't say it's long since I'm NOT a weak girl anyway, haha.) Sometimes I'll stop suddenly for some really smaill view, like a heart shape leave in road side, or sort of things. In fact, it's quite good to check those photos after the trip, you will see there's not only cherry but also other things worthy to take care.

This time, we didn't go to the main street, doesn't have the chance to grab the plum drinks, fish cookies, black eggs, and the tofu stuff. We choose another mountain road to get the HooWei Avenue. HooWei is the old name of DanShuei. It's freaking high, so pretty hard to ride to pass it. Me and another girl only can hold our bikes walking pass and it's more exahusted!!!
But when we saw those cherry blossoms along the road, everthing looked worthy.
Those red, pink, peach pink cherry blossoms are everywhere. I guess they might know they will all die in this two weeks, so they tried their best to be pretty.

We stopped once in front of an old building because of the rain. And I met Annie Lin and Karen Hsu there! They rode a motorbike to get to the destination-Tien Yuan Temple.
Later, we also got there by bikes. Lot's of people gather Tien Yuan Temple to see the flowers.
And of course lots of food venders gather there,too.
We bought some random food, like potato dumpling, stinky tofu, tarrot cake, and some drinks.

People climb to the highest level of the temple to see the whole view of flowers.
The reason why this temple is so popular is they plented cherry trees around it, so it looked great in the season if you stand at a high spot.
Since we brought bikes, we just walked around.
When the wind blew, the flowers like rain, pink rain.
