Taiwan Day 2

So day 2 continues...
We woke up at around 9 in the morning for our buffet breakfast in the hotel. Breakfast was surprising very good. Oh... I love the scramble eggs!


After food, we took a short walk over to our station where we will be taking the train to XinBeiTou station. That is where our hot spring will be!!


Purchased their easy card, transportation will be so much cheaper with it!


After we alight at XinBeiTou station, we took a 7 minutes walk over to the hot spring museum and the hot spring area. We had to walk pass this building which is apparently a library! Nice ah?!


Before we start soaking in the hot spring, we visited the hell valley. It is a natural hot sulfur spring where the water temperature can reach up to 100°C!!!

All those smokey thingy are steam okay? And we actually feel warm there despite the cold weather.


Actual plan was to soak in the public hot spring, but then we decided to pay more and get a private one!

Still got toiletries leh!



We left XinbeiTou and head over to Danshui, which is just a few MRT stops away!
Had dinner at this La Mian shop. Oh god, don't ever go in, the noodles sucks!

The streets of Danshui.

We visited the Believe it or not. They show case a lot of weird things inside. But it is quite small anyway, no much things to see also.

Photos taken from inside the place.


We left to take a boat to Fisherman Whraf to see the Lover Bridge. One of the must see tourist spot when you are there.

Apparently baby find it funny to see a Fish Ball Museum and he insisted in taking a photo of it.

Our boat tickets!

The lover bridge!

It was pretty windy there. Temperature was maybe around 16 degrees I think. But when the wind blow, it is super cold! The cold wind actually goes straight into your bones.

While waiting for sunset, we had to kill off a lot of time. So we decided to have tea in this cafe which turns out to be a very pretty chill out spot.
I dont know how the cat got there. Its all rocks behind. :~

Our tea time!


And the sun is starting to set! So pretty lor! Lover bridge is actually famous for their sunset. I can see why.
See, I told you its cold. Look how baby is dressed! With mask and everything. Hahahha. Actually, I think secretly he just wanna look cool. :p


After snapping some photos of the sunset. We left by boat to go back to Danshui for more shopping and also to settle our hungry tummy.

My pink shoes!!


When we were back on shore, we just happen to walk pass this talented guy who was drawing portraits of others. We were very impressed by him, and we had ours drawn too! You can see the picture at the later part of the post.


Dinner time! Look at all the delicious food!

This is like our Xiao Long Bao, just that is very very cheap~! Its yummy too! 8 of it for SGD$1.50.

Part 1 purchases from Danshui! The local snacks - Tie Dan and some clothes for me!

Here is our portrait! Does it look like us???

We headed off to Shilin night market again to buy our supper! Baby is always hungry, and when I see him eat, I will be hungry too. Our trip is so full of eating man!

Does the food makes you hungry already?

Our round two combine purchases from round one! Oh dear, we can really spend ah! But shopping is so fun. And I save up all my money for this trip man!!

Day 3 sooon!!!!
