Taiwan Trip (Day 4 & 5)

Finally i get some time to update on my Taiwan post. Continue from my Taiwan Trip (Day 3), this is my Day 4 in Taiwan.


After depart from Ah Li Shan, we spend about 5-6 hours merely on the tansport, to travel from almost-at-the-south-part of Taiwan to the almost-at-the north part of Taiwan. This is the only weakness of our schedule, as we need to spend more time merely on travelling from one place to another. Due to tiredness and blur, we nearly miss out the correct train to ride on.

As per pre-book, we stay one night here at Yilan. The house is belongs to a small family with 3 children. Both of them are friendly and even become our driver and tour guide during our stay at Yilan. The owner have their own blog and they even paste our whole Yilan itinery here!

Below are some of the pictures of our stay at Yilan.

Picture took with the owner, with 'cute' pose.

Taiwan Trip (Day 3)

Here is it--> third day of Taiwan Trip. We are heading to AhLiShan in the early morning. *woohoo!* After we had checked out from our room in the early morning, we are rushing off to Taipei station, to ride on bullet train. It only tooks about 1 hour plus to reach at ChiaYi Country with speed about 300km/hr. If we go by car, it could took us for 4 hours to reach there.

The bullet train that we ride on. Seriously it really speed but we dont feel anything when we were sitting inside the train.

Some information of the train, as we can view when we sit.

When we reach at ChiaYi station, we still need to ride on bus to reach AhLiSan. I thought it was only 2 hours the max to reach the place we stay. However, it actually took us 3 hours to reach. Advisable to get to know the bus schedule before depart for the place. If I am not mistaken, the last bus from ChiaYi Station is by 2pm.

Very hungry and so sleepy when we are in the bus as it tooks 3 hours to reach the last station. Thanks God we do not need to walk too far to reach the place we stay, after we get down from the bus. It is actually located in the AhLiShan Recreation Jungle (嘉義縣阿里山鄉阿里山森林遊樂區) and we can just walk to visit the whole place there.

We stay a night at LianBao MingSu with TWD 2500 for 3 persons. It can actually accomodate 4 persons in a room. For more information, please refer to this.

2 comfortable big beds for us.


2 of us posing on the bed.

After we had put down our lugage, here is our day at AhLiShan.

Shuang with her fried rice. The taste is so~so only.

Me with my beef fried spaghetti. I like as it is tasty for me.

She posing in front of AhLiShan post office.

Her funny face.. lol!

The railway. They have stop with the train services since the tragedy that happen on 08.08.2009. So we have to walk our way up to explore the whole place.

The hole is terrible when u really look into it.

One of the pond, it names Sister Pond. There is a story behind why it name so.

What 2 of them doing? No No No... lol

Do you what it looks like? The answer is at below.

Yes, it looks as a pig.

It is a nice picture, if without the Mainland aunty in the spot. *Wasted*

The bridge.

At the last stop of the train.

Sakura! We can only see 2 trees of it.

Well, this is our dinner--> Steamboat at a super cold weather again. It is actually more than enough for 3 persons. I love the pork meat!

We slept by 10pm that night as we need to wake up in the early morning the next day for the sun rise. Guess what time we woke up? Answer in the next post!

Taiwan Trip (Day 2)

Ta da! Post of second day of Taiwan trip is here! Well, the main activities today were still remain at Taipei. The first thing we had done in the morning is to settle all the tickets for the next few destination we were headed to the next few days. It can easily get all needed information (bullet train, railway, bus etc) at here --> Taipei Station.

One picture took with the this. We do manage to be there after few days for our shopping spree. Seriously, all things are cheap if you could find it at the right place.

We had our breakfast at McDonald, nearby Taipei Station. I am fancy with their burger as it is 'Pork Burger'! *Non-Halal* I miss the burgers now... lol

Can you see the pork burger in the picture? A set comprise with a burger, mash potato and choice of hot drink (coffee or chocolate). It cost TWD 70 per person.

Can you see the cheese? *yummy*

Seriously, i am enjoying with it.

After finish with breakfast, we were meeting with my Taiwan colleagues as they invited us for lunch. So soon to have our lunch as we just finish with our breakfast? No choice as we are too hungry if skip for breakfast hence we just have the breakfast first. With the misunderstanding, we actually took the wrong MRT direction and reach at a wrong place. Anyway, we still manage to reach the place we heading for. I am grateful that Taiwan have a good transportation system. Even with the MRT, we do not need to wait for long for the next train to come.

Them in the MRT.

We took picture together after the lunch. Very thanks to the lunch treat as the foods are NICE! (No pictures to see as we didnt took any of them)

The little cakes from them. Cheese cake + Chocolate cake. The taste is just too *delicious*! I never taste such nice cakes before. We plan to buy this back to Malaysia but the shop is seems like a bit far.

After lunch with my colleagues, we are headed to visit 国父纪念馆. Nearby Taipei 101.

Me with the *backside* of the building.

3 of us with Dr. Sun Yat Sun.

3 of us, at the front door of the building.

The interior of the building.

Can you see the soldier?

Where PS going? Here she are, kept talking phone with her boy at UK.

It shows how many places Dr. Sun Yat Sun had went when he alive.

With his potrait.

We are lucky enough to see this whole ceremony. White soldiers are to replace on duty dark green soldiers in the hall. The whole ceremony was about 30 minutes and it is awesome. ^^

They are on the way to the hall.

We reach here before we reach Taipei 101.

Get ourself this in the 星光山越.

You are wrong if you think these are simply eggs! They are not just eggs but are pudding presented in the egg shelf. Taste is nice and creamy.

The eggs.

After we KO all. It is not a wise action to finish all by 3 persons. It is seriously full!

What we had done... lol Can recognise which is my drawing?

While we walking to Taipei 101, we saw this on the street! We are at New York!

Taipei Government Hall.


In the Taipei 101. We didnt buy ticket for the observatory deck as we need to queue up for an hour. Then we went to WuFenPu again as we havent explore the whole place.

Our dessert during our way back to homestay. It is located nearby our stay. Here is the end for our second day.
