        The Qingshui Cliffs is famous scenic spot in Taiwan. The cliff is located at the southern part of the Suhua Highway that connects the counties of Yilan and Hualien in eastern Taiwan. The site of the Qingshui Cliff was designated in 1953 by the Taiwan government as one of the island's "Eight Wonders." When you want to go to Hualien from Yilan, you will go through the Suhua Highway and see the Qingshui Cliffs, where the tallest peak, Qingshui Mountain, rises 2408 meters directly from the Pacific Ocean. There are many tourists were attracted to the Qingshui Cliffs by its reputation as beautiful, blue sea and magnificent mountain range behind them. However, the Suhua Highway was known as “the dead highway” before, because the highway’s roads are very narrow and no railing there, many people had a car accident and died in there frequently. Therefore, it is always rain in Hualien, so the roads are very damp, there became more dangerous. While the long weekend, the Suhua Highway will become overcrowded since everyone wants to go Hualien or Yilan, seeing the Qingshui Cliffs by the way. So the government will restrict the number of people who want to go through the Suhua Highway during the long weekend. I think that it is a good idea because limiting the size of people who go through the Suhua highway can minimize number of incidents and accidents and protect the nature landscape from artificial destruction. So that we can enjoy the best gift that we can ever receive from the God.

Road Trip (descriptive writing)

I went to the Shihtiping, where the most beautiful place in Hualian I think before, because my senior brother in the school asked me to go to there if I have time. We went to the Shihtiping by motorcycle and it took our hours to arrive there. The motorcycle bounced along the bumpy mountain road, besides it was rain the day before, so the roads are very damp, our route became more dangerous. In fact, because of the damp roads, I fell of my motorcycle almost when I tried to make a turn. I thought I was lucky because I extended my foot before I fell down in time, so that I didn’t get hurt. As we arrived at the Shihtiping, the brilliant scenery came into view. The ocean and sky are blue, and they fuse together. At that moment, I thought the two hours’ ride was deserved it, no matter what a hard process was it, which we took many time to reach here, where a beautiful place I never seen. If I have time next time, I would come again and again, because seeing the wonderful scenery is never enough.
