[27/09/2013] - Taiwan, Taipei Day 2

Views while walking to the famous Feng Da Cafe.

Police station.

Panorama views of Xi Men Ding.


The red house/theatre. Never been inside nor take a close look of it.


The over rated cafe. Not sure if we went at the wrong timing or what.


One of the very few bad experiences/service i encountered.


Guess where we are going?

CKS National Theater.
Glad that finally after so many visits to Taiwan, i finally get to come here and take a look.


CKS Concert Hall.

Windy yet sunny day! Mum is checking her photos taken.



Panorama views of CKS Memorial Hall area.




Liberty Square


CKS Memorial Hall.


Taiwan Flag.

Next stop: Wu Lai.
On the way up, we met a Singapore father & son duo. It's their first free and easy trip after many years ago with tour agency. I'm shock that they did not plan any itinerary nor have a fixed idea of where to visit for the whole trip. My mum told them how experience I'm and so the guy asked me for some suggestions and directions.


The must try sausage.

You can either walk or take a tram to the Waterfall.

Tram Station.

The receipt/ticket of the tram which cost us NT50 one way each to and fro the area. 



Selfie on tram



The famous waterfall.





Nothing much to explore except the shop which i don't advise stepping in.

This photo literally costs about NT200+ cos the lady only let my mum took a photo with her if she agrees to buy something from the shop so she bought a photo frame. Daylight robbery but give and take huh. Don't say i didn't warn you, they raise their prices like 50% more so please bargain if you are interested else better don't go in at all.


Not accurate for mine.


Where we alight from and board the tram back.

A small museum about the tram and where to buy the tram tickets back.

If you walk down the stairs (on the right side of the museum), you can take a closer look at the waterfall and the washrooms are there too.


Hot Spring! Weather is a little hot but we still choose to give a try.
I forgotten to take the interior of the hot spring. It's more like a private bathroom with tiles bath tub and a tv where you can watch while enjoying the hot spring. Shower, towel, sterilized comb are all provided. You could bare your skin or wear swimming costume. I do prefer if they have a shower curtain.

Walking to the old street.



We got a seat back to city.

What we bought from WuLai - Corn & Sweet poptato.

Back to Xi Men Ding.

Next stop - Taipei Main Station.
The new bus station to other parts of Taiwan.

Last stop of the day: Shi Da Night Market.

Braised food. Mum misses this too. 

Look at the range of instant bowl/cup noodle from 7-11.

Bought from Shi Da Night Market.

Loots of the day.
Left top, mine. Bottom left, SIL's. Right, mum's.

My supper.
