We took an early train to Jiaoxi in Yilan County to try our hand at shrimp fishing and soak in the hot springs. The train ride featured views of the Pacific Ocean on one side, and rice fields on the other.

Ok, it's a bit of stretch to claim we were shrimp "fishing" because it's stocked tank in an indoor shrimp farm. And we were so terrible at shrimp fishing the owner dumped a bucket of shrimp in the water next to us. Then we continued to be so terrible he supplemented our meager catch when he grilled it up.

Hot springs all over the city. From public pools to hotels with private rooms to single-sex nude bathhouses. We chose to just soak our feet with little fish!
