Swallows’ Grotto – Taiwan Destination

Swallows’ Grotto

Swallows’ Grotto cave has a bad record. And perhaps because of that reason it does not really attract as many tourists as it should. Located in a short walk along the sea shore trail of Niutou mountain, Swallows’ Grotto cave was the place where the human corps at the nearby prison were cremated. You will find the small cemetery when walking down the trail. It is probably a little bit creepy there. However, it becomes the outstanding point of this place.

Five Great Places To Visit In Japan

Nagano

For ski and snow sports enthusiasts, the prime spot to go to is Hokkaido. Since this is a top destination though, it is also usually the most crowded and the most expensive winter spots. A great alternative to it is Nagano. The place has excellent slopes and the quality of the powder is just as good as that in Hokkaido. You get to enjoy as much skiing as you want without having to worry about crowded spaces and costly accommodations.
