Houlong Cape of Good Hope: Discovering the Beauty of Miaoli

Houlong Cape of Good Hope (後龍好望角風景區)

Early in the morning, we had to pick up my sister-in-law in Miaoli. It was still before noon when we could head back home, but since we were already there, we decided to visit some places.

We drove to Houlong Cape of Good Hope, which is currently a popular destination with many people walking around. The view was really nice, especially with the windmills dotting the landscape. The weather today created a beautiful blend of the sky and the sea.
I particularly enjoyed the sight of the large grass blossoms. They always make me feel closer to nature and the wild.

From there, we drove closer to the sea. Unfortunately, the beach wasn't in good condition, with lots of rubbish scattered around. That might be why I didn't see any other people there. However, I still wanted to find a nice, clean beach with a picturesque sea view for my pictures.
On the way, we also came across a massive stone wall with numerous shells embedded in it. It made me imagine how the water used to reach that point and how much smaller Taiwan must have been in the past.

Lastly, I was lucky to take a picture of a train passing by without having to wait. The train rail crossing over the mouth of the sea added an interesting element to the photo.

Zhunan Houcuo Longfeng Temple (竹南后厝龍鳳宫)

Another time, we also visited the Zhunan Great Mazu Temple. Unfortunately, there was a celebration taking place with lots of people setting off firecrackers, so I only managed to take pictures of the temple from the outside.
