| The harbor of Dongshih in the late morning light |
This was a nice walk, incorporating more typical Southwest Coast views in fine weather, and the lovely pastoral and tranquil Aogu Wetlands.
 |
| Literally piles of oyster shells lying around everywhere. |
 |
| The temple, and other local scenes. |
 |
| Mr and Mrs Chiayi: what kind of mushrooms were those? |
 |
| As always, back to walking by the sea. |
 |
| A smaller harbor just to the north, Weigang. |
 |
| A boy playing "fort" in some pier stones filled with - you guessed it - oyster shells. |
 |
| Still more piles and piles of oyster shells. |
 |
| Country womenfolk working the shell fields. |
 |
| Coast guard station. |
 |
| Almost there! |
The Aogu Wetlands park is more than just wetlands. Drained by the Japanese, it became a sugar cane plantation. When this became uneconomical, other types of farming were adopted, but on a minor scale. The park is largely undeveloped and surprisingly clean, lovely and uncrowded. Definitely a place worth visiting on a nice day if you are in the area.
