Today we planned to get close to the "nature" side of Taiwan.. On our itinerary, we have CiJin Seaside (Qi Jin), Fishermen's Wharf (Yu Ren Ma Tou), Sizihwan Bay (Xi Zi Wan) and Love River (Ai He)..
We hopped on a bus at the bus interchange near the Train Station to GuShan Ferry Terminal.. Below are views along the way..
A underpass to a MRT Station..
Interior of the bus.. There is a route map inside the bus itself.. The bus also past by Bridal/Wedding Street where there are alots of shops selling Bridal dresses and wedding packages..
Another faces of bus stop.. (The ones in light blue..)
When did Wendy (Ah Bu) open a Vietnam Store in Taiwan?
Railway tracks i suppose..
Did you see the route map i mentioned earlier?
After we reached the GuShan Ferry Terminal.. We exchanged some notes for coins as the gate only accepts coins..
Below are views took onboard..
Self took photo..
This is the ship we boarded.. The bottom is for motorists while the middle is for "normal" passengers..
CiJin Ferry Terminal where we alighted..
We went to a tourist center to grab a map and starts exploring(more to wandering) around..
A restaurant..
Did you see the dried salted fishes?
More salted fishes
We followed a couple and managed to find our first stop.. Left to the Battery (Cannon). Right is to the Lighthouse.. We went to the Lighthouse first..
After walking up from the steep road.. We saw a platform so we.. started took photos and a 360 degree video..
Did you see in the middle of the photos there are a few white "spots"? They are seagulls~
Somehow its looks like I'm in Mediterranean..
Steep steep slope up to Lighthouse..
and steep steep stairway to Lighthouse..
The Lighthouse..
Miniature Lighthouse's area..
Miniature Lighthouse..
The Battery (Cannon) area..
Beautiful scenery but the air is not so good.. (Not that my camera took bad photos.. which i forgotten to mentioned somehow Kaohsiung's sky is hazy and looks polluted..)
Windy and feels wobbly while standing at the edge.. (Quite high above..)
Dan's room.. =X
Steep slope DOWN..
Cijin is a very big area.. Please rent a electric bike or bicycle nearby the Ferry Terminal if you can.. Unless you really can walk.. (After you have visited the Lighthouse of course..)
Below are views while we explore (wander) around CiJin..
This is NATURAL SAND mind you.. Don't ever think that the brown sand you saw on Singapore's beach are NATURAL.. They are man made.. (Got the information from Dan..)
Taking a break..
Seashell musuem.. (Disappointing as we expected something innovative inside or outside..)
Time for lunch.. (Locals called them bian dang (lunch box) with tea on the extreme left corner).. Cheap and VERY filling lunch!
Starlight pavement.. *Bling Bling*
Temple..
See how far we have walked..
And how far we still have to walk..
Is this the Windpower park? IS THIS?
OH YEAH!!! IT IS!!!
Dan's expression tells you all..
Never see such a big splashing waves before..
See how windy it is and how splashy the waves are..
Thinking of the journey WALKING BACK to the terminal is a torture! It supposed to be COOL but its NOT.. You can see both of us are wearing t-shirts and were perspiring.. "Hated" those clever peeps who rent electric bike or bicycle moving around us! And no sight of cab! But after a 10-20 minutes walk.. We finally saw a cab.. An empty one! *Phew*
We gave up the rest of the "nature" places as we have burnt enough calories gained, the past few nights..
Dan said he wanted to visit the Kaohsiung Olympic MRT Station (cant remember the actual name..) The stadium is not yet open so we just took photo on the MRT platform..
KMRT's (Kaohsiung's MRT) train.. Very stable (Like Singapore's NEL train) not like Taipei.. Alittle jerky..
Very unique MRT station where you can see "live farming".. Hahaha actually they are planting the greenies sicne the station is still new..
Oh ya! Today is Christmas' Eve..
Sogo shopping mall.. A very high class mall which we didn't went in..
Time for teabreak!
We went to Hanshin Shopping Mall (Han Shen) and etc for window shopping.. Bought 3 facial scrubs.. each after being pyscho by a salelady.. =X
This is how the Sogo Shopping Mall looks at night..
Below are photos took at the City Gallery..
Bling Bling pavments..
Some bad comments they made about the pandas and government..
After an exhuasting day and before we headed back to hotel, we bought..
Drinks from 85 Degree..
Burgers from MOS..
This is our dinner and supper (bread and pizza from 85 Degree).. =X
Last but no least.. Dessert.. i've been wanting to taste this and i finally did it this trip~ Its looks like pudding but taste like cheese cake (the texture)?
