芝麻绿豆。我分享: * my 9D9N Little Taiwan trip* to Go for Fun !

Finally i set my foot on this piece of land - Taiwan where i wish to travel to ages ago. Can u imagine how excited i was when i purchasing the flight ticket? ^.^ can't sleep well 1 week before depart ((.. too over is it?? haha!!..)) However.. I really happy I can make it in this year! yohoo \(^.^)/

My Taiwan Trip Begins... ***

Around 1030pm we arrive at TaoYuan International Airport. Immigration counter progress quite fast and around 11pm something we already on the bus. But its late when we reach Taipei City and hence we took Guo Guang Ke Yun ( 国光客运), around 120TWD to go Taipei Main Station then took a cap to our hostel - XiMen Cheng She( 西门橙舍). About 50min reach in Taipei main station while how lucky we are meet a couple who go same hostel with us (^.^) . So we share the fees which is 120TWD ; 30TWD per person only. ( 11pm-6am take taxi need add extra 20TWD).

This hostel apply password as keylock which means there are no room key and they will provide you a password. This was really convenience and efficiency. Since we reach in late night and hence before day we depart, they will send us an email with maindoor and room password to let us go in to room rest first. Next day only check in. So considering and helpful. Though the room is small but we really like it. Maybe of the home-feel decorations & good service.Among 4 hotel we stay in this 9 days, this is the one most satisfied.


staircase beside to go up

Too hungry when we reach. So we go nearby 7-11 (just opposite the road) to buy some eat. After bath, soon we zzzzzzzzzzz....

Lovely morning!! really have a nice sleep and I was recharge to start my journey!!!

Breakfast we go opposite stall 永和豆浆 (after we ask Mike, PIC of the hostel). The soya is nice and food I prefer right hand side that one - egg rolls.

XiMen MRT station is just 10min walking distance from hostel. Yoyo card can get in any MRT station, 200TWD with available balance 100TWD, another 100TWD for deposit (refundable when card return).

Taipei Main Station (Taipei MS) is big, huge! We walk walk walk more than 30min just find the Information center to apply youth card and exit to East door，东门. But good thing is, after that day, we much more familiar with it & easier to find the way for following days. Youth card, YC is free and those between 15 - 30yrs old can apply it. When u apply, the staff will give u a booklet. Here is the link for more details.

Not we purposely look for it but been attract by the smell when pass by. haha!! The soup was nice really but I dislike the duck blood, 鸭血 (( still remember the feeling when I bite it.. erm.. =s ))

Took MRT reach station Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall, 中正纪念堂 a really grand memorial hall and day we go there are some function so is quite clouded.

That day weather was really nice! Sky was clear and blue so we just follow our plan to Taipei 101 to have a great view of Taipei city.

MRT to station City Hall, 市政府. Just look around after exit and u will see ChengPin Bookstore 诚品. Use 诚品as guidance and you will see Taipei 101 just in-front few miles. Walking distance 10min to there.
