Taipei Trip- 6th Day (13th April 2010)

A less hectic trip today. We hired a driver cum tourist guide to bring us to outskirt of Taipei, which is not so accesible via public transport. (TWD4000 for a Toyota Wish which is good for 7 Asian size adults)

The god did not pity us even there is so many plan called off the day before, he gave us rain today. So, you'll see a lot of "Yellow man" in the following photos.

Itenerary

1.) Memorial Hall for Late Soldier (Zhong Lie Shi)
2.) Yang Ming Shan
3.) Ye Liu Geological Park
4.) Ye Liu Ocean Park
5.) Jiu Fern Old Street

All places is great even we were wet whole day. Thanks Mr. Driver (Zheng) for being such a good tour guide. The lunch is superb nice despite the price which is a bit expensive. 2000TWD for 6 adults.
The great day started with a hot grilled sweet potato. Must Try! Taiwainese sweet potato is superb sweet and yummy.



Zhong Lie Shi
Nothing Special besides the few soldire were marching with some performance when they exchanged shift.


Yang Ming Shan

It make us even colder when we were at the mountain. The "Giant Taro" is all around the farm and the scenary is so nice. There is a black forest, but due to rainy day, we just stopped by and quickly snapped a photo. Most view from the mountain to see the whole Taipei City were blocked by floggy.



Ye Liu Geological Park
Very impresive natural artwork of stones. The sea side is also a great one where you can listen to the beauty of waves sound.

The stones are all in different shape and size causes by the wether overs years. I bet there might be a good stories behind, but I am just too lazy to do research about it. ^^

Ye Liu Ocean Park

A good place for kids or those immatured ladies like me. Dolphine are so cute, and I miss the chance to touch them. Blame on my dear for dont wanna accompany me.






Jiu Fern Old Street
A very traditional street with nice lattern decoration which make it more chinsese feel. Very beautiful at night. However, we missed the scenary when geeting up Jiu Fern and the day getting darker. There should be a very nice view from this little hill and a waterfall. My advise is, try to get there before sunset, heard from friends that the scenary from the hill is very impressive.
