4.00James was our guide who walked us through history of Taiwan with a dash of fun and pinch of anecdotes. Since it was a hot and humid day he ensured we were in the shade and got a chance to refill our water bottles. He took us to an ice cream store that serves some amazing flavours at the end of the trip which was much needed on a hot day.
