Eastern Rift Valley, 花东纵谷, originally uploaded by iwynx.
The East Rift Valley is often called a land of milk and honey, since it is one of the most fertile and verdant areas on the island, comprised of green fields, tea plantations, orchards, pasture land and of course, the typically Asian rice fields.
These scenes of rural life are set amidst awesome natural scenery of alluvial plains and river terraces. Here one can also see breathtaking geological features, including canyons, waterfalls and river rapids, and plenty of hot springs.
The area is well known as a tourist destination and offers plenty for visitors, including recreational farms, forest trails and recreation areas, and aboriginal cultural sites.
