Yuedong Recreation Area — Attraction in Fengbin

Yue Dong Recreation Area located in Fengbin township in Hualien country, Taiwan. As we can see at the name of the place, the recreation area has it main focus on the Yuedong, or Moon Cave in English. And as the name of the cave, it’s because the level of the water in the cave will keep changing according to the waxing and waning of the moon.

They clean it, but it still doesn’t dry well. I was wearing sky blue shorts and I got it stained with some dirt. Also, it’s a bit...

Really cool! Google maps says closed Tues/Wed but we went on a Tuesday and it was open. They said they are closed only Wednesdays. The front may look closed during slow season but walk up and see if the window is open! The cave is really cool, short ride but many bats to see. The guide explains only in Mandarin btw but still cool even if you don't understand him. It's only 100 taiwan dollar. They have rides around every 20-30 mins. I see some reviews saying there was a long wait but hey it's a small cave and they can only take so many people so be understanding. If you come during off season/slow weekday then there's probably no wait, we only waited around 10 minutes. We bought...
