* my 9D9N Little Taiwan trip* to Go for Fun ! - Day 6

Day6 - QingJing Little Swiss Garden, 清境小瑞士

          - Sun Moon Lake, 日月潭

Out of my expect it's not too cold at night. Opened the curtains let the sunlight shine into our room. What a warming morning ~ \\(^-^)// After we have simple breakfast in hotel (so no post any picture =p ) we visit again Little Swiss Garden with our last night purchase ticket!

Daytime garden is really great place for photo shooting! Colorful background so anywhere can be nice angle. 

so many "sheeps"!!

the cow look so real..

Is not flowersea but windmill sea! so colorful isn't it?

try to act more natural ^.^

U can check with hotel staff, everyday only got few bus (Nantou bus, 南投客运) to PuLi, 埔里. And we took around 11am bus and journey take around 1hour 15min. While reach PuLi, transfer bus to Sun Moon Lake with another 35min.

Check in to our hotel (5min walking distance, book through agoda) at noon.  We plan to rent a bike cycling around the lake. Hotel staff give us some cycling voucher which free another 1/2hour. If no mistake, 150TWD for 2 hours while free 1/2hour total become 2 and 1/2 hours.

We amazed of the nature beauty of Sun Moon Lake with its emerald green water and totally soak up the peace of nature.

professional photographer >>> me (^.^)

I wonder he got the ohm to hold the pose.. haha!!

i did jump! but all because of that non-professional camera man  <@.@>

Just moment it reach dinner time! We heading to restaurant that recommend by hotel staff. Just beside the bike shop. We enter set dinner with 3 meal, 1 soup, pot of tea (is taste like ho yan ho.. haha!! ), and rice. Decoration is quite delicateness and soon is full house.

2 person definitely can't finish this!

 

I like this most! sour taste very appetizing ~

 

Nearby got some souvenir shop can walk walk after meal. I found that some were cheaper than other place. Red tea quite famous in Sun Moon Lake while there are red tea cookies and teabag.

plum wine. the name so cute.. sound like Qia Bibi

This is part of colorful water dance from Little Swiss Garden. Forgot to share it in last post "[(^-^)]"

* my 9D9N Little Taiwan trip* to Go for Fun ! - Day 5.

Soon its come to day 5 and today we going to another state - Nantou，南投

XiMen Cheng She

Day 5 - QingJing， 清境

          - Little Swiss Garden， 清境小瑞士花园

          
We took tour bus to go QingJing in TaiPei main station. No need pay any deposit while u just need to booking online. 780TWD for 1 way and depart on 7am, reach QingJing around 11pm. Better than take railway which will reach maybe around 2pm after I research. (or got any shortcut just I don't know? @.@""??)

Tour bus details can refer here:http://taiwanbus.emmm.tw/?ptype=info

By time reach QingJing immediately we call hotel pic to pick us. We stay in TopCloud Hotel which we book through online. This hotel request we sign a credit card authorization letter to do reservation. Not much hotel require so but is secure actually. Normally I will rather choose other hotel when face this kind of request but I like their prompt reply on email so decide to book it too.

Honestly I bit disappointed on their attitude and service when arrive. However the hotel is clean and we enjoy the great view from room.

 
Since 3pm only can check in and hence we drop our luggage in hotel and heading towards QingQing CaoYuan. Around 20min walking distance but hotel provide shuttle to there. We simply take away some food outside hotel and plan to have it inside QingJing. Not much comment on the tasteless food =p

 

 

Boundless steppe! What a good place to refresh our mind~
 

Let's chop a sign! So you can go anywhere without showing the ticket. Oh ya! Ticket is TWD80 (with YC, normal price is 120TWD ^0<)

so funny!

if u got food in your hand, the sheep will follow u~

roger roger 001!

 

I also wanna feeding the sheep

Weekday don't have sheep take off show (what the name is that?? haha!!) which only on weekend. But u still can watch other performance.

Cooling night most suitable for steamboat. This restaurant located near GuoMin Hotel，国民宾馆 and near to Little Swiss Garden.

First I disagree go Little Swiss Garden at night due to can't take nice picture and is dangerous go back late (i think..) But luckily we did. And u must go at night because u only enter 2times! Means if night time u buy the ticket, next morning u can use back the same ticket! (quite worth is it?? different timing different view (^o^)v 120TWD) And 830pm got colorful water dance!

But I didn't take any nice picture cause nightview is limited to 4s. =S

Come out from Swiss Garden can have a walk inside carton king. All the deco material is paper!

feeding the sheep ^.^

* my 9D9N Little Taiwan trip* to Go for Fun ! - Day4

Day4 - XiMen Red House， 西门红楼

          - ShiLin Residence, 士林官邸

          - National Palace Museum, 台北故宫

          - XinBeiTou, 新北投
          - ShiLin night market <<< again 
 

I put on my new clothes & say "cheese" to welcome our 4th day in Taipei!

Try out were there any difference mcD in Taipei & Msia... erm.. No different~ Same taste (.... talk nonsense =p )

Ximen Red House, just opposite MRT entrance. An ancient building while just spend u around few minutes to walk around and take few photos as memory.

Just found out that didn't take much photos in ShiLin Residence and hence no upload any here. ShiLin residence mainly divides to 2 part, official residence (main house) and gardens. We only take several photos of garden views while inside mainhouse photo taken is forbidden. Entrance fees is TWD 50 (with YC, normal price I not sure) . You can take same mini bus to here and also National Palace Museum. Forgot which bus no to take but u can find it out in the bus station.

Nice weather right? Blue sky white cloud~ 

This only only part of the museum, hall 1 while my left handside was hall2. (faint.. (~o~)/ we only estimate around 1.5 hours here which is not enough)

Ticket TWD80 with YC

Soon we end our tour in museum (can't wait to hotspring already! yohoo~ our tired leg.. is time to pamper it <"@o@">)

train with cheerful design!~

 Hotspring restaurant we choose after do comparison. Actually  not much difference just depends which u like. And like usual weekdays price is much more cheaper. Around TWD60 per person.

Next time wanna try this traditional style. (next time is when? ^.^'')

Library

try banana flavor

We went to ShiLin night market again! Share out my food... photos. (^.^)v

The size is 2 of my palms.  Huge! No doubt it call Huge Chicken Chop! Crispy and crunchy~ U see the long Q there means must try~~!

We didn't try this just simply catch a photo of it "funny" looking.  ^.^""

 

And finally we found the underground food court~ (slightly hidden. at least we think so) I was amazed when saw the foodcourt were so clean and arrange in order. Not hot or smoky.

Those who love peanut may love it but is just soso for me.

 Frankly I not really like this O a Jian. I prefer the one we take away in HuaXi night market.

Still prefer ice blended we had in JiLong night market. But this one also not bad. Quite big in bowl.

 Is it I eat too much? This sugar cane is just tasteless for me. =p

Rose from Kieve while we on the way to hotel. Just a simple gift but he know I will happy receive it. (haha! my expression too obvious is it? (^o<) ). XiMen really a happening place even at night. U can see lot street performances. Some was just amazed and sometimes I really admire of their insistence on art.
