Our first full day in Taiwan took us to the National Palace Museum. The museum held a fantastic collection of historic, and some current, art reflecting the aesthetic of the country.
I saw more jade than I ever need to see again in my life! And then there were Buddhas, of course. And a beautiful panel.
For lunch, we drove into the mountains to the "lily ranch", where we had another zillion courses of wonderful asian food. The best tofu I've ever had (usually I can't stand the stuff).
Since it wasn't far, we also stopped at a National Park featuring an active volcano.
Thankfully it stays at a slow simmer rather than a big eruption. Too close to Taipei for comfort.
