It was merely a stall selling cheap food outside the Grand Formosa. So rather than pay 5-star prices for lunch, you can sit outside, eat cheap local food (if you can guess what it is) and enjoy the view (though the rain would make things uncomfortable with the lack of cover). In this case, I had a decent-enough soup, red rice, and sausage. If anything, it's probably best if you just bring lunch with you, rather than eat in the park. Or choose a tour that includes lunch at the resort, which I decided not to do in this case.
Favorite Dish: I can't say there' s much to choose from, but the red rice and soup were decent.

A possible but extremely rushed day trip from Taipei is Hualien and Taroko Gorge. It's worth a look to see the huge rock walls and the rushing river below, especially if you need a change of scenery...

The Taroko Gorge as the obligatory stop for me along the mountainous east coast. Since other people have done well enough to document the things to do here, I will refrain from writing many tips.

Taroko Gorge is a good reminder of why the Portuguese named Taiwan "Ilha Formosa." It is one of the most spectacular canyons I've ever seen, with vertical cliffs dotted with precarious greenery rising...
