Rain greeted us in the morning but since we cannot alter our itinerary so we go ahead as planned..
We went to YangMingShan.. We took MRT to Taipei Main Station, exit to the North door and took bus 260.. The weather is so bad and freezing! After reaching the bus terminal, we join the crowd and took an internal bus.. The weather is so bad that we can't see what is around us.. So we just alight at a stop where the name of it sound interesting whic is Cingtiangang (XingTianGang).. And we are WRONG! There nothing to see due to the heavy rain.. Only a small exhibition hall.. We didn't bring enought thermal pack non umbrella so we went in.. Other than us.. There's a young couple also "following" us.. We have to wait until another bus come by so we explore the hall..
Below are photos took inside the hall..
I got the information from the website:
Chingtienkang is a terrace formed by lava flowing to the north from Mt. Chukao. This flat area is today an undulating grassland several kilometers across surrounded on all sides by mountain peaks higher than 800 meters in elevation. The area was once used for grazing cattle under the administration of the Taipei City Agricultural Association, and private individuals could send their cattle to graze here. It is well worth a visit.
But what we saw are:
Toilet and on the left is the bus stop..
As the visibility is low, we decided to leave.. A while later, a bus came but it didn't stop! So we decided to go the the bus stop to wait.. We bought a can of warm peanut soup from the vending machine.. i still remember how its warm the can feels now.. Its such a relieved when we boarded the bus..
After reaching the YangMingShan Bus Terminal, we bring forward our plan and took a bus down BeiTou for HOT SPRING! Nice planning huh?
We booked this private cold and hot spring suite for 45 or 1 hour i can't remember for around SGD$52.50..
Hot spring..
Cold Spring..
Receipt..
After that, we went to MacDonald for lunch.. One thing is the fries are SUPER DUPER SALTY.. I'm a person who like salty food but this fries are way TOO SALTY!!!
Apple and Pineapple pies..
The MacDonald's meals are cheap but of course we have to clear the tray and rubbish ourselves.. Left side is for recycleable items, right is for rubbish..
We took a MRT to ZhongXiaoFuXing.. It is still raining heavily and my shoes are wet so i requested to go back to hotel early..
Bought our dinner on the way back..
As water in Taiwan are not consumable from the tap so we try to take whatever mineral water we are given..
No milk tea today.. Hahaha~~~
