A super trip to Yilan!

My best friends and I have planed a trip to Yilan for a long time and we finally took this trip on this Sunday.
In the beginning, we just wanted to visited Taro, one of our friends who has taught in Yilan for more than 6 months.
After the discussion, the plan was changed to a tour and full of scenery.
Fortunately, the 2009 Taiwan Lantern Festival is held in Yilan, too.
So we changed our plan and also put the Lantern Festival into the schedule.
However, Yilan is such a big county.Every scenic spot we wanted to go was located on different place.
Between the mountains and cities, we rode the rented scooters for almost one hundred kilometers(160 miles ).
