Day 5

After Gu gong, i feel inspired to do more sight seeing... decided to go Yang Ming Shan ato see the scenary.. U may think Jason dont link with scenary/walking/hiking.. But Yeah, i did suggest to do there ok.. so give mi sum credit..

Yang Ming Shan is definitely a place that is 100% or no 200% worth it to go... Scenary is breath taking, waterfall is nice and i get to see a volcanic vent..

First stop, we went to Zhu Zi Hu.. The scenary here is nice and u get to see the flowers.. Can also try plucking lilies if u want for NT$10 each..








After touring zhu zi hu, we realised that the shuttle bus to get to xiao you keng is not at the place where we alighted.. Took a walk of around 20 minutes and after much help from the locals, we managed to find the shuttle to Xiao you Keng.. This place has nothing much except for the volcanic vents which is spouting sulphur gas and we ate a special kind of ice cream...





my shopping list

At the moment, mi luggage stands at 40kg.. DUnno how im gg to clear the excess kgs but heres a list of what i have bought so far.


Item 1: accessories comprising of bracelet, ring and necklace

Item 3: Food.. 8 packets of butter biscuits, yam pastry, jelly, pineapple tarts, black sesame biscuits
Item 4: 3 polo tee, 1 long sleeve shirt, 1 tee shirt, 1 bag,
Lastly, another 3/4 pants

Day 4- Cultural Walk

Todae is a day where i began my cultural conquest of TAiwan.. Went to National Palace Museum ( Gu Gong).. Although i am not a person whu appreciates antiques, but feel that since that place is a "must go" attraction, i decided to drag mi feet there to take a look.. the trip is worth it as i sae the main treasure--the jade carved cabbage.. damn nice and unique...

No pictures as that place dun realli allow photo taking but gt pictures of the outside.. Enjoy..





After GU gong, i went to miramar shopping centre.. Nothing much there except for the ferris wheel.. Mus take a shuttle bus into the mall from the mrt station. So abit of tiok con feeling as the queue on the return leg was damn long.....
