10 Days Taiwan and Hong Kong Trip - Day 4

It's another brand new day. Can you believe, it's already our fourth day. Hmm...... time really flies. We started today with a tour around Shangrila Leisure Farm, not actually a farm but more to a park. They have plenty of different fruit trees planted, such as pomelo, guava, dragonfruit, orange, and many more. It will be nice to spend a day with family there as it has all the greenary view that we, Singaporeans, lack of.


After the morning walk, we make our way to 九份老街 where they sell all the good food and goodies. Yeah yeah....... but the stupid thing is, it's again right after our lunch. How to eat??? Anyway, we just "ファイト". Basically, it's a very simple street with shops at both sides selling goodies, souvenirs, tea, paint brushes, 芋圆, 贡丸 and many more. I think it is still early when we reached as most of the shops are still closed. Overall, it's an interesting and must visit place.


Satisfied with another round of makan, our next destination is Taipei 101. Errr........... Mary姐 says that actually they are losing money every year. Of course, it's just like Ngee Ann City with all the branded goods. Hmm........ why they can survive? Singaporeans are rich? あぁぁぁ....でも私と関係ない.

She said that there will be a grand fireworks event at every 跨年演唱会. It will be nice to join their countdown some day. Gonna start planning!


It's almost time to head back to our hotel for the night, 兰阳温泉大饭店. Our tour guide is so sweet to arrange private hot spring room for us. V(^ o ^ )V

The room is a typical japanese guestroom without tatami (たたみ). We are so pleased with the room. The hot spring bath is so big that 3 adults can enjoy at the same time. My brother is the lucky one 'cos he enjoys the whole bath alone. Arrggghhhh...........!!!!!
