Hiking from Sun Bin Temple to Bilong Temple

Today we've decided to try very popular sport in Taiwan - hiking! We've woken up quite early to found out one of many Yingge trails. Our trip started with amazing Sun Bin Temple, went through Yingge stone and ended with Bilong Temple.

Sun Bin Temple is known thanks to the Sun Bin solder, who has become a legend for Taiwanese due to his courage - even thou his friend betrayed him and cut him all of his toes, he didn't give up. This Temple has on its entrance male and female lion and inside you can see fancy decorations. I recommend to visit it.

On our journey to Yingge stone we've seen a lot of interesting plants or animals. You should pay a lot of attention, because animals can hide very well. The weather has been very good. It hasn't been so hot and there has been blowing. Most of the time we've been walking in the shadow, so it hasn't been so tireding. When we've found out the way to Yingge stone, it has turned out that to the Stone you have to walk about hundreds stairs, so it has been a little bit long, but we've done it! This stone is popular due to its history, which you can find in my previous articles.
Geena and me - fresh start

 After the stone, we've taken a road to Bilong Temple. In the middle of our way there has been one gazebo. It has been a very beautiful place, we've lied down for a while, we've been enjoying the wind, nature and its sounds. Live the moment. I liked it a lot. For this moments, I'd like to go hiking as often as I could..

Later we've finished our journey with the Bilong Temple - amazing, amazing. We've been there already once - our first day in Yingge, but it still has magical spirit inside. After a short relax around the temple, we've returned back to Sun Bin Temple. Feeling the beauty of the nature and enjoying the atmosphere..
Only a few staris and we're here!

In the evening we've been shopping a little bit with our friend Joy. 've seen so many beautiful things - especially shoes. I love the one, which have been glittering high heels and were a little bit pink :-))
Later we've stopped by in one delicious restaurant for some noodles - ah, I love Taiwanese food so much! And later we've been to some international shops like INDI shop (most things from Indonesia) or some international market close to blue MRT station Zhonxiao Fuxing. One day, we're going to cook for our friend here in Taiwan our traditional food. Looking forward so much! I like going out with Joy, she's so me :-)))
Ňammmíííí :-)
