On my first night in Hualien, we decided to stay in a better hostel, nearer to the Hualien station, as the transportation is not as accessible as Taipei's. Thus, we chose MUNA out of the different hotels / hostels there are in Hualien.  It cost NT$1800, per night, which adds up to S$41 per person. I ain't sure if it is worth the price, but, I shall say, it is really convenient and comfortable. It is opened by a couple (Boyfriend and Girlfriend), who were travelling to Japan on the day we check out.  Free coffee, anytime of the day.  The price comes with breakfast, so me and jasmine ordered set A, which is pork chop egg hamburger + 2 hotdogs + 1 drink (Black Tea / Milk Tea / Soya Milk / Orange Juice).

As tour packages starts from S$200 per car of maximum 4 pax, which works out to more than S$50 per person. Thus, we decided to just go using public transportation. Contrary to beliefs, public transportation is slow, not worth the money, etc. However, we managed to cover a total of 5 locations, in our 4 hours there.  It might not be the best way to truly experience Taroko, but, for 4 hours, and on a budget travel, it is definitely worth it. When we were trying out this route, we actually met with our tourists, like us, who are there to explore the area. And definitely, striking a conversation is simply the best thing ever. The ticket costs NT$250 (S$11.40), for a day worth of unlimited travelling in a
