Admiring the Setting Sun
The wind turbines at Gao Mei Wetlands
Last week we brought the kids to Gao Mei Wetlands at Taichung, Taiwan. It is my 2nd visit to the Wetlands as I previously visited the place with R when I was there in April. This time around we brought the whole family there to enjoy the scenery and watch the sunset.

The kids were happy to go crab and mud skipper spotting that afternoon and were looking forward to playing a round of ” fastest eyes” to see how many sea creatures they could spot on the way.
The kids looking down from the boardwalk
They were fascinated to see mud skippers flipping around on the surface below the boardwalk. I didn’t take a picture of the mud skipper as it was the same color as the greyish mud it was in.
A female crab
I took pictures of the tiny crabs instead. This time we saw more female then male crabs around.

I guess that it is mating season at the moment as we were treated to a live crab fight while walking along the boardwalk.
Two crabs sparing against each other
It was really interesting watching the two crabs having a go at each other. They were chasing each other and planting jabs at one another. Most probably there was a potential mate waiting at a distance for the victor of this fight.

The weather was really nice. It wasn’t as cold and there was a slight breeze.

It was high tide when we were at the wetlands so we didn’t see anyone going down to have a walk this time.

Gao Mei Wetlands is certainly a lovely place to visit. A great place to soak in the scenery while watching the sunset.
Have you been sightseeing lately?

We love going to the wetland park here and the kids get a kick out of the mud skippers. Too hot to venture there right now, though…

@Buckeroomama,
We Love HK wetland park also. It’s actually very near our Apt in HK 🙂 Agree it’s too hot to go now. Better during the winter months.

Beautiful photos. My favorite is the one with the boys jumping. Getting them both up in the air is a real trick.

What a super day you had and so educational for the little ones. Love the shot of you and your daughter, and also of the descending sun.

That sounds like a lot of fun! I would have been doing what you were doing – taking pictures of crabs. 🙂

I love to watch the setting and the rising of the sun too! Makes me just want to stare at it and reflect on whatever comes to mind..
