A trip to Luona and Omar winery
I was on a roadtrip recently...
...passed by a chocolate farm in Zhushan...
...they had different kind of choclate plants...(3 kind)...
...I bought some cocoa beans...
...and tried some chocolate...
...the beans were cheaper than their cocolate..
...this was the store brand...
...I asked of they also had plants...and the owner gave me a plant..
...he also showed how they make cocolate...
...with the seeds...
...and the process...
...I also got a fruit...
...they also had some other plant with red berries...
...and tea chocolate...that wasnt for sell..but he use to give to people...
...next stop...Nantou winery...
...some big barrel..
...famous or the Omar whisky (which also is found at systembolagets website (or use to before))...
...some other stuff that they were selling...
...they alos promoted the brewery in Zhunan (taiwan beer)...
...many omar products...
...they also had the wine icecream I tried in Changhua backin 2008...
...it was ok...
...some tea egg...didnt tast much tea... :)
...later on...heading south east...to road 21...via road 16...
...google map said I had to take a small mountain road...to get to luona...
some parts poorly maintained...
...passing some other small villages on the way...
...some tribes...
...omg...a big bridge in the middle of nowhere...
...and some reconstruction o the road...
...finally reached Luona...i found out that there are much faster ways to get here...im not sure why google insisted of a 30-40 minutes slower and futher road...
...Luona is famous for the bunun tribe (the biggest in the area)
...some david star...
...and some church and bike route...
..and bunun statue...
...local store (when 7-11 and family mart is not nearby)...
...some Tsao guy (who came from Sun moon lake)...showed the closest way back to road 21...
...the local schools here has bunun, english and chinese language on their signs...like other schools in indigenous areas...
...local kids playing at the school...on a weekend....
...heading back to road 21...
...Luona...
...some locla chicken place...and some foreign biker...seems like some bike event nearby...
...local food...

...some small rain...
...and sun moon lake...
...some hour later passing by hehuan shan...in the dark..
