Crossed this bridge to the shelter (below pic)

Bus was far away from here after crossing the bridge...

Took a shot on the bridge..

Back from the bridge, there was a cafe.

The famous coffee at "Da Re Ge", the coffee's name is "Shan Quan Ka Fei", TW150 including a piece of cake (Tiramisu, cheese cake...etc.. you choose one)

On my right while I was having my coffee and cake.. saw some words and shapes done by soomebody...

Another place that selling Jade, marble, stones....ect..

To the shop, selling "Mata Kucing", jade, stone etc....

I planned to buy a ring for my own... but it costs around RM1000, so I give up. But I bought a "Mata Kucing" necklace for my mum as mother's day present. Everything that you bought there is very expensive, coz you know. The place where tourist guide brought you there, they also earned some commissions. But each item you bought, they provided you a cert for the item. Verified that item is the real one, certified by their gov also.
