From July 28, 2018 to August 5, 2018, I traveled to Taiwan with Mosquito and Kindergarten.

We made two appointments before, and the documents and endorsements were all ready, and then this one was not available and the other was busy, so it was postponed until this time.

Preparations before departure:

Air tickets and hotel entry permits, Taiwan Railway train tickets from Taipei to Hualien, and Taipei airport pick-up service are all booked on Ctrip. NT dollars are directly exchanged at the Bank of China. I think the difference in the exchange rate they said is not very big, and we don’t change a lot, so it doesn’t matter. It’s about 4,000 RMB. The air ticket is chosen to depart from Hong Kong, which is cheaper than Guangzhou, mainly because it is close to our side. Danshui is much closer to Hong Kong than to Guangzhou.

I went through the check-in formalities at the airport. The uncle at the check-in counter was so funny. He laughed at the fact that we said his surname was Yang, so he chatted all the way and went through the formalities. I said earlier that I would not upgrade to first class, so why? Put your luggage away and eat Cuihua, Cuihua at the airport is so good, I don’t even bother to take pictures. When we serve food, we speak Hakka and there is still a meal that has not been served, and the auntie directly speaks Hakka and waits for the wait. We were taken aback, she said she also said Hakka.

The plane model at the Hong Kong Airport, our family took pictures together, it was during my high school summer vacation, wow~ it really has a long history! After passing the security check, a young lady asked me to turn around, and I turned around, and then asked me do you speak Chinese? I told her: You can speak vernacular with me, it is completely OK, no problem. Then she just laughed. how? Am I so un-Chinese? When I went to Thailand, I was considered Japanese again. I spoke a bunch of Japanese to me, and told her すみません, Japaneseではありません with an expression of no anger or displeasure. Then I kept going to the duty-free shop, it was terrible, how could I buy a watch...囧rz

Let's go!

Taipei

landed! It will be there in an hour or so.

After putting away our luggage, Master Du called us to ask if we wanted to visit the Ningxia Night Market. He happened to pass by there on his way home, and we said OK. Just go shopping.

When we met for the first time, I felt like walking into a variety show I watched since I was a child. kind. We live on Zhongxiao East Road, and we can't help singing "Walk Zhongxiao East Road nine times~"

The first impression of the night market is that there are so many games to play? ! I thought it was just for food. It's the hoops, balloon games, and goldfish fishing that I used to play. I ate custard, stinky tofu, and king oyster mushrooms, all of which were delicious. I ate the beard rice with Lu Roufan, and I thought it was average, not amazing.

I came back after visiting the Ningxia Night Market. The taxi driver on the way back was also very chatty, and everyone I met so far was very chatty. The clerk at the Family Mart convenience store at the back door of the hotel is a little handsome, like Big Ren. The biggest feeling is that the people here are as enthusiastic as the weather, which is really good.

July 29

Good morning Taipei! Today's itinerary is to visit the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall and the One Piece Restaurant

There are only two stops from Zhongxiao Dunhua Station, the subway station where we live, to the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. There is a handover ceremony at the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall on the hour. The memorial hall came out and set off to the One Piece restaurant. At the station where we live, the restaurant is at Exit 3 and Exit 4, and the restaurant is about 200 meters away from Exit 7.

Download a GOOGLE MAPS, super easy to use, accurate navigation.

The above is a street shot all the way. The house here is small, and the car is also small, very pocket-sized.

Punch in Taipei One Piece Restaurant. Well, I am complete. It's so fun to have a club meeting all over the house. Things are so cute, I reluctantly ate Chopper and Luffy. The restaurant can make reservations in advance on their FACKBOOK, or by phone. On-site reservations are only accepted on the day, so it’s best to make reservations early. When queuing up, I met a family who came to eat, and the whole family liked the same anime, which felt great. That dad asked me who I like, I said I like Luffy, he said Luffy? A little suspicious, I reacted and said Lufu, your translator is called Lufu, and then everyone laughed. Ha ha ha ha.

After eating, I went shopping all the way, besides the locomotive, there are gashapon machines, claw machines, and hand-made things. We caught a Nami.

Depart for Ximending at night

Ximending feels like Mongkok in Hong Kong. There are various places for shopping, as well as performances, such as the cultural and creative market.

When I went to Ximen Red House, I was attracted by the cat logo on the sign on the first floor. When I went to the store on the second floor, I saw that it was a space cat, and I fell instantly! My favorite element of astronauts, the boss is very happy that someone likes his paintings so much, he said that he will go to Hong Kong to do activities in the future, and asked me to pay attention to his FB, and even drew me a space cat and its friends, wow! ! So touched! ! But he is determined not to sell that vertical board. I just bought a seal and a keychain. I think the space cat is the leader of that building, it's really amazing. I want to keep the manuscript well, the boss will be famous in the future, please take me with you, thank you.

Google on the way to Jinfeng Braised Pork Rice

On the way, I also punched 50 Lan. The pearls are delicious, and the tea is not heavy enough. Maybe I am used to drinking Hong Kong style. I like heavy tea. The advertisements here are all game animations or stars that happen to be my favorite (I didn’t take pictures of Contra on the big screen)

I bought it from the city cat boss today, and the paintings he drew for me, keep them safe. I like space elements very much!

July 30

Today's breakfast is to eat soybean milk at Neihu District, Taipei City. The beef rolls and pot stickers are delicious! Soy milk has a fragrant charcoal smell. The three of us girls finished eating this big plate, and it was amazing. After eating, go to visit the old officials.

Next is the Forbidden City in Taipei. It's worth visiting for three hours.

After visiting the Forbidden City, go to Beitou for lunch. Both Geothermal Valley and the ramen shop that I was supposed to eat are closed on Monday, and they will eat Wujia Beef Noodles instead.

Wu's Beef Noodles. Super large pieces of beef and beef tendon, fragrant and soft, melt in one bite, super powerful! ! The side dish platter is also delicious!

Go buy a drink after eating. It was so hot that I kept craving something to drink.

Went to Beitou Library. It is the first green building library in Taiwan. The fountain in front of the library is the filming location of the movie "Turn Left, Turn Right". The library does not take pictures, so take a break before buying a cup of 50 Lan.

I went to Danshui Road and turned to Jay Chou School. I said I was looking for Jay Chou, Class 2, Grade 3, but the security guards wouldn't let me in. (Smile)

Visit Tamsui Old Street. Grandma Tiedan doesn’t feel as delicious as ours, tsk tsk tsk

I bought a lot of small things, went shopping until the evening, and set off to watch the sunset at Fisherman's Wharf.

Watching the sunset at Fisherman's Wharf. Today's sunset is not very 3D because of the clouds, but it is still very comfortable to stand on the bridge with the cool breeze. The young lady who sang in the square sang Chen Shuhua's song. Before she sang, she said that it was a song with a sense of age.

Danshui returned to Taipei, ready to climb Xiangshan Mountain to take pictures of night scenes. Considering that it was too late to come down the mountain, I went to buy a souvenir on the way, Taipei Liji Pineapple Cake

It was here that Mosquito and Kindergarten bought pineapple cakes that could fit half of their box. tut tut tut

Taipei Xiangshan 101 night scene. The mountain is not high, but it is steep, and climbing is not very tiring, but it is too hot. Fortunately, the view from up here is not bad, please comfort me. Ha ha. Going down the mountain, I am ready to go to the night market to find food. Tonight is to go to Tonghua Night Market.

I want to focus on the above two, the crispy salted chicken is delicious! Yifang is also dozens of times better than ours. Because the difference is so obvious, I'm going to focus on it.

After visiting the night market, I was going to go back to see the famous movement of keeping garbage on the floor.

On the evening of the Household Garbage Regulations Day, there will be garbage trucks singing electronic music at the specified time, and people in the community line up to dump garbage bags of various sizes. In the past few days, I feel that the road surface is as clean as the renderings. It is difficult to find trash cans on the street to dispose of trash. Generally, night markets at tourist attractions have fixed places to dispose of trash. Everyone will pack up and take the trash away if there is no trash can after eating out. These days we just take a garbage bag and collect it until we see the garbage can before throwing it away. I read online that it is also possible to hand it over to 7-11, but we have not tried it.

July 31

Good morning! Taipei! This morning, we departed from Hualien on the Puyuma Ziqiang. The Taiwan Railway Bento turned out to have only ribs and no chicken legs.

Hualien

Hualien is here! In the scorching sun, put on two more layers of sunscreen. You can check in at the hotel after three o'clock in the afternoon. Store your luggage and eat first.

After dinner, go to Hualien Wenchuang.

Hualien mochi is so delicious! ! I think the on-site ones are not as delicious as the ones with small particles. The brown sugar flavor is really delicious! Super Q! Then they discussed how many boxes to buy and went back.

As night falls, it's time for us to go out again. This time I met a driver of the same type as Fang Datong. I got in the car and saw him drinking. I asked him what he was drinking, and he said it was grape green. Then I said go to Mr. Goose Meat, he said no problem, I said, let's go to see fried egg scallion pancakes by the way? He also said yes. But the scallion pancakes were closed, so I ate Mr. Goose directly. He said that after eating, we walked straight to the Dongdaemun Night Market. There are many handsome guys in Dongdaemun, and I said there are also in Taipei. He said that our handsome guys are different. What do I say? Are you more masculine? He smiled and said that the skin is a bit darker, you will know when you go, I said it is like not wearing foundation or eyeliner, right? He smiled again and said that sunscreen is still necessary. Then said we are going to Taroko tomorrow, right? He said that he must buy Jiaxing lemon juice on the way. Did we say delicious? How delicious it is, he kept smiling and said that he knew it when he went, he was afraid that we would not have a car when we came back and returned the business card to me, and it happened that someone was calling for a car on the radio in the car, so I said that everyone would hear the conversation? He said yes, so don't talk nonsense when you call for a car. Haha, ok ok.

Mr. Hualien Goose Meat strongly recommends the fish egg salad, which tastes great. The goose meat is a bit like our salted goose, cut into such a plate by a catty, the knife is very good. Add shredded ginger and dip it in sauce, it's delicious.

August 1

On the way to Taroko, there are various Jiaxing ice fruit shops, the golden ratio special lemon juice, many celebrities have been here, it is really super delicious! ! Next to the entrance of the photo studio is the filming location of the movie "Summer Light Years". Wow, that's the movie I watched in 2008, and I bought a novel. Does anyone know about this movie?

Across Hualien, Nantou, and Taroko National Park in Taichung.

The aborigines in "Sediq Bale" are a branch of the Taroko people here. When passing through the mountain tunnel, you can see the direction leading to Nantou Wushe. I was paralyzed from crying when I saw that movie at Wanda, so I came here to feel the breath of Mona Rudo. Go to Yanzikou, walk across Changchun Bridge to Changchun Temple. The Changchun Temple is dedicated to enshrining the spirits of 225 engineers who unfortunately died in the line of duty during the construction of the Taiwan Eighth Line Zhongheng Highway. Due to the arduous construction of the Zhongheng Highway, there were casualties from time to time. In order to comfort the heroes, the Taiwan Provincial Highway Bureau at that time chose to build a shrine above the Yongquan Waterfall on the other side of the highway in 1958. 

The Qingshui Cliff on a cloudy day is known as the second largest cliff in the world. Qingshui Mountain plunges into the Pacific Ocean, and the Suzhou-Huahua Highway is built intermittently in the middle.

Qixingtan on a sunny day. Legend has it that in the past when the weather was fine at night, without light pollution, you could see the sky full of stars. It is also called "Qixingtan" because the Big Dipper can be seen most clearly here. It's not sand, it's pebbles.

The delicious food above Dongdaemun! Guancaiban, stinky pot, stinky tofu, wonderful fruit juice, Samsung green onion pancake.

Hualien - Kenting

August 2

Brown Avenue. Takeshi Kaneshiro was too lazy to line up to shoot the tree in the advertisement, and it was quite comfortable to ride a bicycle. I also met a pair of fellow CPs. After hearing each other’s Hakka dialect, everyone asked together: “Are you from Tamsui? Tamsui Naidi?”

Duoliang Railway Station. Missed two trains perfectly. But the coastline alone is enough to see, it is really beautiful.

Dude, the winter duck powder is fine, clear and light. Braised tofu is delicious!

Eight Treasure Ice, an old shop in Hengchun, eat mung beans and garlic. Delicious!

Kenting

The road was already dazzled by Hailan.

Drink more water

On August 3, 2018, the weather in Kenting was fine. So hot that I almost forgot who I am.

Kenting East Line. Nanwan, Sand Island, Chuanfan Rock, Eluanbi Lighthouse, the southernmost point in Taiwan (too many people, I didn't take pictures), Longpan Park, Jiale Water, Kenting Out of Fire. Then return to Hengchun at noon.

"Cape No. 7" Ajia's home, check in with feelings! I came to check in after watching the movie for ten years, and I am still very excited. It's super funny that the mosquito imitates Tomoko and goes downstairs. Today, I passed the Xiadu Hotel on the road, the one where Lin Xiaopei was the waiter! When the driver Brother Hu sent us there, I got out of the car and asked him if he would meet Fan Yichen? He said no, he went to deliver the letter. Ouch! Oh, I'll take it up. XDDD

At noon, I ate Arbor mung bean dishes. I think the ice cream from the one I ate last night is delicious. But this vermicelli is delicious.

After lunch, I visited the Taipower Southern Exhibition Hall, and then started to take the Kenting West Line. Went to Maobitou Park, where you can see the east line on the opposite bank that you walked in the first half of the day. The two points at the southernmost tip of the banana leaf on the map of Taiwan have gone. After visiting Maobitou, we will go to Baishawan, which is the place where the Boys Pai filmed by Ang Lee went ashore for the last time. Maybe because the tiger is gone, many people come to play in the water.

Walk around Kenting Main Street at night. The brine chicken is delicious!

When I came back, I passed by Ajia’s house. I was leaving for Kaohsiung tomorrow. There was no one there at night, so I quickly took a picture of it.

Kaohsiung

On August 4th, depart for Kaohsiung after breakfast. That, strawberry jam sandwich, can you stop pretending to be a ham sandwich, I was a little hurt when I bit into it.

Kaohsiung MRT full of secondary illnesses. In the afternoon, when I visited the Sanduo business district, I felt that Kaohsiung was just a bunch of department stores taking turns to visit. I got Shin Kong Mitsukoshi to adjust the strap of the watch I bought in Hong Kong. It turns out that it is really guaranteed by the global warranty! (Hello!)

This hotel in Kaohsiung is really good. It has a laundry room, and the front desk is also super warm and polite. The plane will be early tomorrow morning. Let them call a taxi for us. He even thought of packing breakfast for us to take away. The details of taking things and opening and closing doors are done one by one. Really amazing.

The boneless chicken feet at Liuhe Night Market, crispy salted chicken, and papaya milk are delicious.

Kaohsiung - Hong Kong

The scenery of the trip to Taiwan was beautiful, but the most touching thing was the people. They have implemented the spirit of fraternity in their lives, and when they travel, they see that all the facilities have taken care of those who need love one by one. I saw in the Forbidden City that there is also a Braille commentary for the blind, and I am really convinced. All elevators cater for people in wheelchairs and have special keys. Not to mention the toilets or roads, there are many volunteers there, and there is no inconvenience for people who travel in wheelchairs on the roads. Ask for directions, people are very hospitable and would like to take you there in person. Hotels, taxis, waiters, everything is as gentle as they speak softly. In addition to the scenery, I also saw a lot of things that were different from us.

Anyway, this time I only took the east route, Sun Moon Lake, and Alishan have not been to. Just keep it next time!
