[edit] Taipei Tour J

The Taipei 101, formerly known as the Taipei World Financial Center – is a landmark supertall skyscraper in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan. The building was architecturally created as a symbol of the evolution of technology and Asian tradition. Its postmodernist approach to style incorporates traditional design elements and gives them modern treatments. A multi-level shopping mall adjoining the tower houses hundreds of stores, you can buy what you want. The National Palace Museum, located in Taipei and Taibao, Taiwan, has a permanent collection of nearly 700,000 pieces of ancient Chinese imperial artifacts and artworks, making it one of the largest of its type in the world. The collection encompasses 8,000 years of history of Chinese art from the Neolithic age to the modern.

[edit] River Tracing L

River tracing is a mix of hiking and bouldering, but in a river bed. It's a pretty wet activity and a nice way to cool down in the hot and humid taiwanese weather. This activity takes place on the Meihua river (梅花溪).

These are the things you should bring with you:

  • Your chopsticks & spoon kit
  • A towel
  • A water bottle filled with water
  • A plastic bag to put wet clothes in
  • A second set of clothes (optional)

These things will be provided by the guides:

  • A lunch (noodles - vegan noodles available)
  • Non-slip gloves and shoes
  • A life-jacket
  • Swimwear
  • A helmet
  • A small waterproof backpack
  • A waterproof camera per group for pictures

All valuables and electronics should stay at the venue. You will be jumping from rocks to rocks inside a river. You will be able to leave some stuff in the bus, but we cannot guarantee their integrity.

Here is the plan for the daytrip:

  • 7:45 - Departure by bus from student dorm 12
  • 8:30 - Arrival at the river
  • 9:00 - Arrival to the upstream location
  • 9:00 to 12:00 - River tracing
  • 12:00 - Lunch
  • 12:00 to 15:30 - River tracing
  • 15:30 - Return to the parking lot
  • 16:30 - Return to the venue

The lunch offered will be noodles. Please note on the registration page your dietary restrictions.

This activity is physically taxing. You will be climbing, hiking in a river bed and jumping for an extended period of time. Please make sure that this is the kind of activity that suits your physical limitations. You must be older than 10 years old to participate in this activity for insurance reasons.

This activity is potentially dangerous. You will have to sign a waiver for the river tracing company insurance saying they are not responsible if you get hurt.
