October 2nd 2011: The next day I explored the area around the Cigu Salt Mountain, which is big heap of salt left over from when Taiwan's state-owned salt company used this area for harvesting sea salt. Now the hill is just a tourist attraction and oddity.
Of course, this being a tourist attraction, there are many things to buy.
Bags of salt
Salt toothpaste
Even an imitation of the National Palace Museum's famed Jade Cabbage, made of salt.
Statuettes of the heads of the animals of the Chinese Zodiac
The odd style of the salt museum, next door

| Salt fields |
 |
| And of course, more salt! |
After the world of salt came the world of water in Cigu lagoon.
Cigu is a water-logged kind of place, and this day was a rainy one.
 |
| A fake tree with fake birds. |
 |
| As always, an overabundance of oyster shells. |
 |
| Beyond the lagoon filled with oyster frames, a bridge on highway 61. |
 |
| A truck comes, bearing a huge electrical transformer. |
