Taiwan Day 4

Our day 4 in Taiwan started a little later. We woke up late and even missed the hotel buffet breakfast. We were pretty shagged by then, so day 4 will be a little easier.

Since we didn't had breakfast, we decided to dine at some nearby Japanese Restaurant, 2 minutes walk from our hotel.

We walked in casually as what you normally do when you want to have Japanese food in Singapore. However, we were stunned when we look at the menu.

ITS ALL IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE!!!!!!

Every freaking thing is in Chinese, not a single English word, not a single picture.
Baby end up asking the owner whats good there, and just serve us whatever is nice.

Our tea.

Small sushi for starters.

Appetizer. Some sour seaweed thingy.

Our Pork Katsudon!

Steam Egg!

Maguro and dont know what sashimi!

Mini Steamboat with udon and seafood inside.

Baby's love. Tempura!

End up that is what we had. After settling the bill, we left for the train station. I remember lunch cost us around NT$400 odd, which is less than SGD$20. For all those food that we ate, it freaking cheap can! Still got sashimi leh! But to be fair, the food is just so so, not that nice either.

We got to Taipei Main Station, it is like our City Hall Station where you get to change to any other trains. We then took their TRA to Keelung where we would be heading to the Gold Ecological Park.

When i say train, i meant train not MRT. The train really looks old but its pretty clean at least!

So here we are at Keelung!

We are at the bus station now trying to figure out which bus to take to the Gold Ecological Park. But we end up taking cab instead. Save time!

Cab fare wasn't cheap. Around $25 i think. But the uncle was nice, thou we ask him to drive us to the Gold Ecological Park. He actually detour to some tourist spots for us to take photos! By the way, the cab fare is fixed price not by meter. :D

So this is called the Ying Yang Hai! The sea is naturally two colours! I think is due to some copper deposits in the sea.

Quite pretty right?

Next, he drove us to this Huang Jin Waterfall!

Thought this one was still okay, I prefer the Ying Yang Hai more.

So here we are finally!

Bean curd eating place.

Then we paid some money to experience gold miners life!
Look clearly. Bf is in the picture.

The gold museum. The super duper big piece of gold which everyone take photo with!

We bought a small bottle of gold from the gift shop because we missed the gold panning experience. It was closed when we got there. Baby thought that buying the gold will comfort us a little. Hahha.


We left the place then and head over to Jiu Fen. Took their public bus! :D

Their streets!

The night view. We reached there but missed the sunset. If not, i think this photo will be nicer!

Our dinner! Some fishball mee sua or something!

Dinner.

Feeling exhausted from all the walking.

Our purchases from Jiu Fen! Lots of jelly! Oh, the jelly are so yummy! But so freaking heavy. Luggage nearly over weight.

Second part purchase from Shilin Night Market. Told you we go there everyday.

Preparing super which we bought from the night market. We have been eating on baby lugguage all these while. Hahaha!

Bubble tea is a must have okay?

We then went to collect out High Speed Rail tickets for tomorrow from Family Mart, the convenience store near our hotel!

Next up: Doramon World, Xiao Ren Guo!
