Day1. Hong Kong/Macau--Taipei, Taiwan

   As a flash mob trip, time is of course the most precious thing~ I chose Taiwan because...the flight time is short and the cost is low haha!

    After get off work, take the plane and rush to the airport to go through the check-in formalities~! The location selection has been done online~

   All flights to Taiwan need to check the visa in advance~ We will register online and print it out and it will be OK~

   Someone asked curiously, where is the lamb?

   Of course, Yangzai also finished work and flew directly to Taipei~ See you at Taoyuan Airport! 

  The flight to Taiwan arrived normally ~ no delays ~ but the China Airlines flight was a bit bumpy...

  It’s the first time I’ve taken so many planes to describe it as bumpy...so... I love Evergreen!!!!

   The time to arrive at Taoyuan Airport is exactly 11:12, which is the peak season for red-eye flights~

  It took about 30 minutes to pass the customs~ I happened to meet Yangzi in line~ what a coincidence!

  After I came out, I planned to take the MRT, but it seemed that I would not be able to catch up with the Ximending train, so I took a Taxi~

  We didn't book a car~ because we were afraid that it would be a waste of money if we couldn't get in touch if we couldn't change the time~Taxi cost a total of 1,000 Taiwan dollars to Ximending B&B.

  I heard that there are many INS-style rooms in Taiwan~ so I used the A prefix app to book our accommodation for the past few days!

  The address is located in Ximending, Wanhua District~ In fact, the price is no different from ordinary hotels~ It’s just that the decoration style is special~

  ~ The sanitation of this hotel is not bad~ The bed is also very comfortable and clean~

 The price is about 500HKD including tax/night, whether it is worth it depends on personal preference

  Immediately after check-in, walk to the lo-mei restaurant, which is 8-10 minutes walk from our accommodation in Ximending, and will be open until 5 am~

As soon as I sat down, I found that apart from the Taiwanese, they were all Hong Kong people on the same plane~! What a coincidence!

 There are 2 choices in the restaurant~ One is to pick the lo mei first and give it to the proprietress~ The other is to order the braised pork rice, braised pork noodles, etc. on the menu~

  The checkout is to pay after the meal arrives~you can go directly after eating~

   The taste of lo mei is quite sweet~ It is a bit different from the taste of lo mei in my mind~

  But the stewed pork rice in this restaurant is delicious~ not too sweet~ and the rice is delicious~ a bit soft and glutinous just right~ the braised pork is delicious! ! !

  So if you want to eat supper after getting off the plane at night, you can consider it~

  It’s almost 2 o’clock after we have dinner (snack to be precise)~ Hurry up and go back to the hotel to take a shower and sleep~ run the itinerary tomorrow~

Day2: Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall--Presidential Palace--Huashan 1914 Creative Park--Shangyin Aquatic Products

  As a tourist with obsessive-compulsive disorder, you cannot prepare well before departure~

  Before departure, I have already bought a phone card, MRT card, and MRT map (I ended up taking Taxi after buying it a few times)~

  The MRT card just bought the Hellokitty version this time, and Yang Zi expressed his breakdown!

  Get ready to head out for lunch!

   It takes about 10 minutes to walk from Ximending to "Old Brand Beef Noodle King". It's not hard to find~ It's in a vegetable market~

  When I came to the door, I already knew that it must be delicious noodles! Thick beef broth, large chunks of beef, and strong ramen are an invincible combination!

  After sitting down and ordering, the boss came to chat and was very enthusiastic~ As an indifferent urbanite, I was a little caught off guard.

  ***Reminder: Beef noodle soup is different from beef noodle~ Beef noodle soup does not contain beef! ! ! ***

  The sheep’s eyes are wide and the belly is narrow. I ordered a big bowl. I thought I could finish it, but the portion was too big. The price is about 100 NTD/night beef noodles~

  After lunch, I walked to the Presidential Palace~ I walked around the perimeter~ There is a big lawn at the main entrance~ It's very good to take pictures and check in!

  After punching in the Presidential Palace, the next stop: Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.

  It's a short walk, about 15 minutes, just look at the google map and it's OK~

  Check in every day~ The weather is not very good~ But it's cool~

  I went in and took a look at the introduction~ Then we walked to Huashan 1914 Creative Park...

(-.-Looks like I love walking)

  I saw a lot of milk tea shops on the way.. 50 Lan is a must when you come to Taiwan.

Come to Huashan 1914 Creative Park. The park was formerly known as "Taipei Brewery" and is a designated historic site in Taipei, Taiwan. After 1999, it became a venue for art exhibitions, music performances and other cultural activities for the arts and cultural circles, non-profit organizations and individuals.

   There are many online celebrity shops inside, and there are a lot of people, but they are very orderly, clean~ good impression~~!

  If I can’t see the cultural and creative products I want to buy, I will go back to Ximending, because Yangzi is already tired~walking too much~

  When we came back to Ximending, we planned to go back to the hotel to sleep~ But it turned out... We went to the cinema in Ximending to watch Captain Marvel!

 I don’t have time to make an appointment to watch together in Hong Kong and Macau, so I just watched it in Taiwan~

The sound effect of theaters in Taiwan is okay, and the snacks are also good. The price is acceptable, anyway, it is cheaper than Hong Kong~

  After watching the movie at 5 o'clock~ I went back to the hotel and rested for about an hour before starting "Shangyin Aquatic Products"!

  When it rains when you go out, people who are too lazy to walk to the MRT station must take Taxi...Taxi is very difficult to come across after 6 o'clock!!!

  Waited for a while before getting in the car~ The driver was super enthusiastic and chatted non-stop, and finally gave him a business card to call him when he wanted to rent a car. I think everyone who has come to Taiwan has encountered it!

  Taiwan's Taxi dance frame is as fast as the heartbeat. Of course, the fare is not very expensive in the end, but the jump is really fast.

  There is a stand-up area and a take-out area when you enter. There are too many people waiting for a table. There is a set option, which is very cost-effective~

  We chose the takeaway area, hot food, frozen food, and sashimi are available~

  Compared with Hong Kong, the price is definitely invincibly cheap. Hong Kong’s upward quotation can’t go away at 2000HKD casually.

  In the sashimi area, I saw 2 arctic clams that were sold out, and they were fresh blue! The dream of the lamb has finally come true, to eat the blue arctic shellfish~

  After choosing what you want, go to pay the bill. There are chopsticks, ice cubes (consciously paid), soy sauce and other tableware at the checkout position. You can take as much as you want~ Don’t waste it!

 A table here is about 400HKD. The seafood is very fresh. The only bad thing is the sushi..It is different from the seasoning in Japan~!.

A sushi lover tells you that it is terrible, so please give up~~~~

 After eating, go back to the B&B~ It’s still Taxi~~ lazy people, lazy people....

Day3: Yehliu Geopark - Yinyang Sea - Jiufen - Hou Ketone - Shifen

  Of course, I can't miss the one-day tour for lazy people! One-day tour is HKD150/person,

 I booked a one-day tour on TB, and it happened to be Hong Kong people in the car~ It should be specially arranged in a group

  The tour guide came to pick us up at the door of the hotel early in the morning (at the gate at 8 o'clock)~ After picking up everyone, we set out for Yehliu Geopark

  When I was working in a travel agency, I discovered that although the tour guides in Taiwan are enthusiastic, they lack some skills in explaining scenic spots, maybe our one is so-so!

  This tour group does not include tickets, so after arriving in Yehliu, queue up to buy tickets, 80 Taiwan dollars a piece, since you are here, of course you have to go in and see!

**This part is a free activity, the tour guide will not go in to accompany the explanation**

  Walking in along the way is full of aunts, yes, they are all aunts, so it means that the attractions are full of aunts.

  Be ready to grab the position and take pictures, everyone.

   Affected by geological processes such as wave erosion and rock weathering, many spectacular and strange rock scenes are produced. It is famous for its sea erosion landscape, and Queen's Head is one of the rocks that many tourists come to watch.

  Yehliu Address Park has been arranged for about 1 hour, and it can basically be finished~

  We went out and bought oden to eat... (I eat all day long)

  The next stop we will go to Yin Yang Sea.

  Located on the north side of the Shuinandong settlement in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan, it is a special geographical landscape in the coastal area of ​​the northeast corner of Taiwan. The color of the seawater in Yinyang Haiyin Bay of Shuinan Cave is yellowish brown, which is in sharp contrast with the blue color of the normal seawater in the outer sea, hence the name.

  On the back of the Yinyang Sea is our next attraction: the Thirteenth Floor Ruins

  Shuinan Cave is an area located in the north of Jinguashi, New Taipei City. From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the early period of the Japanese occupation, the area was called Shuinandongzhuang. In the later period of the Japanese occupation, the site of the refinery in Shuinandong, commonly known as the thirteen-story site (actually eighteen floors)

  After finishing the explanation of the thirteenth-story ruins, our car continued to go up, and the scenic spot after going up the mountain: Golden Waterfall.

  Golden Waterfall is a waterfall located in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. The Golden Waterfall is formed by underground water gushing out of the ground, so it is not part of the river. If it coincides with heavy rain, the water volume of the Golden Waterfall will be even greater. Because there are mineral veins around Jinguashi, the color of the water after the chemical reaction of groundwater, rainwater and minerals has the color of oxidized metal ore, which makes the water color of the Golden Waterfall slightly yellow, and the exposed stones are also yellow, hence the name.

  The next stop of the Golden Waterfall: Jiufen, where the tour guide gave 2.5 hours of free time.

   Jiufen has not yet reached the entrance, and it has super invincible people and cars.

   The tour guide parked the car on the parking lot below, and we walked up to Jiufen.

  Climbing a mountain is simply for city people... Anyway, my legs are shaking

  When we came to Jiufen, we must eat taro balls. Since we couldn’t find the store we were going to eat, we came to Lai Po’s taro balls that happened to be passing by.

  Grandma's taro balls are really good! There are several flavors~ We asked for a comprehensive one~ Every flavor is delicious~

  In addition to eating it now, you can pack it back and cook it yourself~ but the shelf life is very short.

  I don’t need to eat anything else. My wife eats too much..

  Come to Jiufen Wonderland~~~ On the day I just went, it rained and there were low-pressure clouds~~

   Jiufen is the best Hou Ke cat village!!!!

  For me who is a cat lover, it is a wonderful paradise!!!

  But the tour guide said that because of the bad weather, there may not be cats coming out. After listening to it, I was a little sad..

  But!!! After arriving, there are so many cats and cats!!!

  There are a lot of cats and cats for you to buy for you~ 20 Taiwan dollars a piece~

  The following is what everyone will check in when they come to Houke Cat Village~~

  The cats in Houke Cat Village have been neutered~ Many of them are raised by tourists~

  There are many cat litters in the cat village~ They are not afraid of being exposed to the sun and rain~ Some have a room with a heater~ The wet cats will lick their fur in it~

  The tour guide only arranged for 30 minutes here~ Because I have to take care of the people who are traveling with me~ Some people may think that there is nothing to see~

  How about setting aside more time to put up sky lanterns in Shifen!!!

  Next stop: Shifen Old Street.

  When we came to Shifen, it rained heavily, yes, it was raining heavily.

  Sky lanterns need to be paid at their own expense, 200 Taiwan dollars per lamp, can be written by 2-4 people~

  For this must-play item, I said, I have no wishes hahahaha

  I've been thinking about what to write for a long time~ But the people in the same business have written a whole piece of paper......

  When the sky lanterns are released, the staff will help you take pictures, tell everyone! They look good no matter how they are photographed! ! !

    He also took a small video of the sky lanterns for us, very professional and very satisfied~

   After ten minutes of sky lantern display and free activities and something to eat~ we will go back to the center of Taipei~

  It was about 5:30 when we arrived at the B&B~ The one-day tour was very fulfilling~ All the sights that should be visited were gone~

  In the evening, I went to eat a restaurant called: Wuming Japanese Cuisine.

  Ambush! It's so unpalatable! But when we were full, we found that there was a long queue downstairs!

  I don’t know what you like about it jQuery1710341228658602552_1559958061814?

Then we went to Ximending to sweep the streets.

Day4: Rilakkuma themed restaurant - Palace Museum - Ningxia Night Market

  In addition to being a cat slave, I am also a Rilakkuma slave, haha, so knowing that there is such a Rilakkuma shop in Taipei, I will definitely not miss it!

  Yangzi said: Crash! collapse! So much pressure!

  The restaurant is located on the 1st floor, No. 3, Lane 248, Section 4, Zhongxiao East Road, Taipei City~

  Not much to say~~ Po picture! The food is exquisite! And it tastes so good! ! ! When we went to eat at about 12 o'clock, there were not many people.

  On the contrary, 1 o'clock is the peak time, and you have to queue up. Of course, you can also make an appointment online.

   In the end, the bill was converted into about 300 HKD, and I ate 2 staple foods, 2 cups of drinks, and 1 dessert.

  I am very satisfied! ! !

  In the afternoon, take the MRT to Shilin Station, then transfer to the bus to the Palace Museum.

  The traffic is very convenient. After leaving the MRT station, walk 200 meters to the bus stop. Basically, the bus can go to the Palace Museum.

  We bought tickets for the Palace Museum in advance on Klok Apps, and we only need to provide the QR code to enter the venue.

  If you want to store drinks, you can store them for free, but you will have to pay for large luggage.

It happened that jade cabbage and Dongpo pork were borrowed, and I wanted to cry.

  There is also a special area for souvenirs on the first floor. If you don’t see cabbage and Dongpo pork, you can only buy a souvenir.

  On the return journey, there is a bus that can go directly to Ximending, so I took it without hesitation~

  The bus is divided into two sections, and the second section depends on self-consciousness! We also asked the driver... Otherwise, we don't know that we have to pay in sections.

  Go back to the homestay and rest for a while, and then go to our favorite night market~

  I originally planned to go to Shilin Night Market, after all, Shilin Night Market is the most heard~

  But students from Taiwan said that the night market in Ningxia is full of delicious food!

  So we finally chose Ningxia Night Market!

  Ningxia Night Market is not too long~ but the delicious food is really delicious!

  There is a super fragrant stinky tofu, which is crispy and tender after one bite! Super super delicious!

  There is also Oden ~ delicious soup! Dice Cow is an Internet celebrity~ but not!

   I'm going back tomorrow~ It turned out that we haven't punched in the 101 building yet..

  Immediately after the Ningxia Night Market, I rushed to the 101 Building.. It's 9:00 and 10:00, I'm afraid it will turn off the lights...

  I was going to Xiangshan Mountain to take a night scene.. The weather was cloudy so I forgot it.

Day5: Pork Ribs Crispy Noodles--Back to Hong Kong/Macau

On the last day in Taipei, I decided to go to HEA to the end.

Woke up at 11 o'clock to eat Yang Pork Rib Crispy Noodles in Ximending, it was delicious! ! !

The soup is so fresh and sweet! Braised pork rice is even better! The pork ribs are delicious!

recommend! ! !

  The last meal in Taipei is over~ After that, I will go to buy various souvenirs...

Egg yolk cakes, sun cakes, taro cakes, pineapple cakes, and phoenix cakes. It is really exaggerated to buy 1000HKD souvenirs

  I saw the signboard saying that it is the champion of handmade cakes for several years in a row!

  There is a store in Ximending! There seem to be only three in Taiwan.

   After withdrawing from AIRBNB, I went to the MRT station to take the Taoyuan Express to the airport..

  MetroCard is really convenient~~Everyone should buy it!

  Arrive at the airport ~ about the same time to check in the air ticket ~ half an hour to take off ~ go back to each home ~

 Taipei~ Then we will see you next time!
