Day 3
Before planning to anywhere, a leisure walk around my hotel. PS: I forget where I stay.
Last we deciding to go flower sea garden.
Lunch: We went to this local soy bean shop which provide local Taiwan typical breakfast.
Tea time in 五分铺 Wu Fen Pu a place with clothes distributor. However, I am more keen to coffee. Hahaha.
Night walk: Taipei 101. At first, I thought Taipei 101 is a shopping mall. End up, it is a office building. Employee should be happy by working in such a nice view building. Just like Suria KLCC and KLCC in Malaysia.
Meeting my college friend who study master in Taipei and having dinner.
She bring us to take a nice photo with Taipei 101.
Day 4
I am addicted to minced pork rice. Firstly is tasty and second reason is affordable. Having minced pork rice and some side dishes for heavy breakfast.
Another leisure walk day. My aim for this trip is relax and walk around and hence I do not visit too many tourist attraction place.
Next stop, we went to Cheng Ping bookstore 成品书店 which is famous in Taiwan. They do sell a lot of Chinese books and some handcraft work which is unique. I bought a pair of earrings.
They do have art exhibition.
This feels like movie scene.
Afterwards, we went to Yang Ming Shan. A nature view for flora and fauna. However, the weather is super freezing cold. We force to took bus after half way of visiting return to our place due to low visibility which is danger for tourist to walk around those waterfalls,nature rocks and bridge. Even the shutter bus that we took is the last one who on duty.
Steamboat for last dinner in Taipei.
Last night market that we visit. Ning Xia Market.
Bitter guard and honey juice. Weird combo but taste great.
Day 5
Having coffee near my hotel before heading to airport.
One of my favorite street pic in Taipei
To conclude my trip in Taipei is satisfactory. Taipei is really a leisure place to be visiting. Affordable price and well preserved culture heritage. I am sure I will visit Taiwan again such as TaiChung, TaiNan and Kaohxiung.
