Today we took the High Speed train traveling at 240 Km/h to Tai Zhong in the middle of Taiwan. It took about 40 minutes when it usually takes 2 hours on the express train. From Tai Zhong we took a tourist train up into the mountains to the small village of JiJi. JiJi is a tourist town made famous by its beautiful scenery and many bicycle venders.

We rented power assisted bicycles that allowed us to ride 2 people on a bike and would be powered when at cruising speed. On acceleration and steep hills you were required to pedal. It was really a lot of fun. One of the many little touristy places that we stopped at was a temple that had partially sunk due to the earthquake in 2000.
