Heping Island was called Sheliao Island in the past. It is located at the north of Taiwan. Heping Bridge connects the island to Keelung City. In 1626, the Spanish army built castles, churches and fortresses, preparing to do business with China and Japan. The castle on the southwest is called San Salvador, the saint savior. This is the first and currently the only castle in Keelung. During the Spanish occupation, Heping Island had busy trading activities with Southeast Asia. After World War II, the island was renamed Heping Island. Today, it is a famous tourist attraction.

Heping Island is perfect for diving and sea fishing. With years of erosion by the wind and sea, the eroded rocks and coasts have formed special shapes. The Keelung government has made Heping Island a coastal park with swimming pool, tour track, tourism service center and food and beverages.

Despite being dethroned as the tallest building in the world from 2004 to 2009 by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, Taipei 101 is a spectacular building and impressive to see in person.

Though you can see Taipei 101 from many spots in Taipei, there is one place that is known as having the best view of the building: Elephant Mountain or 象山. Not only does it have great views of Taipei city, it's also a popular spot for locals to exercise and tourists to hike. It's easy to get to, free and a nice activity for all visitors.

So if you want to get that ooh-ahh wow photo of Taipei, you have to head to Elephant Mountain. Here is all you need to know about visiting.

How to Get There

Take the red line on the MRT all the way to Xiangshan. It's the last stop on the line, one past the Taipei 101 stop. Take Exit 2 from the MRT station and you'll see signs for the hiking trail to the left.

Continue left on this road for about 8 minutes, you'll keep seeing signs for Lane 150, Hiking trail. There's a sidewalk you can walk on.

The road goes past a basketball court to the left and then curves up to the left with a park on the right. You'll notice that it starts getting steep to prepare you for the climb up! Once you go up the top, follow the road to the right and around the curve, you'll see the trail head to the left.

And now begins the climb. You can make it to the top in about 15 - 20 minutes if you're in good shape, if not, give yourself more time because it's a steep climb with a ton of steps!

It's a very straightforward path, just stick to the right and you'll end up at a viewing platform which has a great view of Taipei 101 and the city. If you continue on this path, there are facilities on the other end and a trail down.

But the best place for a photo op is to continue up to the right (there is a sign that says temple, 5 minutes) to get to the boulders.

If you have time or want to keep going, you can. The entire trail is 1450 meters long and takes about 1 hour to complete. I didn't have enough time so I just went up to the boulders and the viewing platform, took some pictures and headed back down. Here is a trail map if you're interested. I definitely recommend hiking the whole trail if you have the time!

Along the way, you may see some birds or small mammals and this is an excellent place to see the sunset. Photographers love this spot because they can get some spectacular sunset photos of Taipei.

Tips for Elephant Mountain

Try to go early in the morning on a weekday if you don't want to be around crowds. I went on a Tuesday morning around 9 AM and there weren't many people there, mostly locals exercising. But come around 4 PM on the weekend for the sunset, it gets crowded. So stake out a spot if you want that epic sunset photo of Taipei.

Wear sneakers/running shoes. It's not a long hike but like I said, it's steep and you'll need comfortable clothes and good shoes.

It's a short trail so no guide needed, there is no entrance fee.

Hiking Elephant Mountain for the Best View of Taipei, Taiwan

As tourists drive into the fishing village of Budai, they see what can only be described as a giant blue high heel shoe on the horizon. There's simply no other way to describe this innovative, and rather 80's looking building.

Opened to the public in February 2016, this incredible structure seemingly put a lot of people's noses out of joint. The first reason is the fact that it is so out of keeping with its surroundings. It's an understandable complaint with this being a very small and quaint little fishing village bereft of tall building and certainly without anything in such a vivid shade of neon blue.

Other folks feel that it's a little too modern and colorful for a house of worship, but the truth is that they needn't have bothered worrying. Although the building is known as a church, it is not an official place of worship and can only be used for private weddings and other ceremonies.

As an attraction, though, it's proving to be as big a hit as some the country's many other notable tourist spots, with huge numbers of visitors arriving in the township to take a few snaps of the giant shoe and have a peek inside.

The local official that came up with the idea said that the area needed a boost and what better way to do so than by encouraging a little tourism. He also stated that the church was designed in the shape of a woman's shoe to commemorate the girls of the area that had their feet amputated in the Blackfoot Disease outbreak in the 1950s.

The official opening took place on 23 July 2016, and although it had already been open to the public since February of that year, the event garnered the village a lot of attention from both local and international media.

Made with a steel frame, the building consists of 320 tinted glass panes that shimmer in the sun. The extraordinary structure cost a reported NTD23 million (US$760,000) which the local authorities hope to recoup in the rental fees from the many weddings and other ceremonies that have already started to take place there.

It seems like a big gamble for such a small village, but if the interest generated is anything to go by, it's a gamble that's certainly looking like paying off.

菜色精緻多為工夫菜但價格不貴 王品引進米其林推薦新加坡餐廳 PUTIEN莆田新加坡餐廳台北信義ATT店
近幾年台灣的餐飲集團，除了自己的品牌外，為了滿足消費者嘗鮮的想法，大多開始引進國外知名餐飲品牌，PUTIEN莆田新加坡餐廳便是由王品集團引進的美食品牌，這也是王品第一次從代理國外品牌，PUTIEN莆田以新加坡菜聞名，而且其在香港的餐廳還獲得2016年米其林推薦餐廳，雖未摘星，卻也代表其餐廳的水準，但要注意喔！米其林都是針對單一分店評分，香港獲得推薦，不代表台灣的PUTIEN莆田就是米其林推薦餐廳。

王品引進的「PUTIEN莆田新加坡餐廳」首發店就開在信義區的ATT4FUN六樓，ATT4FUN這幾年轉型的不錯，以快速潮流的服飾來吸引年青人之外，還增加了許多不錯的餐廳，像海底撈、薄多義等等，也造成許多話題，PUTIEN莆田新加坡餐廳落腳在此也許也是如此考量，營業主要是以中餐與晚餐時間為主在配合ATT4FUN百貨營業時間，餐間休息時間為1500~1700，捷運市政府站、象山站、世貿站都可以到，距離上的世貿站比較近一點，其餘走路不會超過10分鐘

餐廳門面以帝芬尼藍為主，帶有一點南洋風味，主要有四人座有方桌及圓桌，要大一點的位置也有，另外還有一面是朝101與市政府方向，但離101有點近，但不出有啥景色，但還是能看得到窗外的車水馬龍，比較特別的是餐廳本身有廁所，一般來說很多在百貨設立的餐廳大多廁所都是共用的，PUTIEN莆田在廁所的小細節也是有注意到。

因為是以新加坡的桌菜為主，亦有推出四人、六人、八人與十人的組合餐，從NT$2,298元到NT$5,980元，還會收一成服務費，一個人大約六百元左右，唯一比較讓布雷克垢病的，就是那米其林推薦餐廳的LOGO，有時候單一分店並不能帶表全部分店，你看侯布雄會在台灣的分店會有米其林的LOGO嗎？

單點的菜色當然就以新加坡菜為主，有許多新加坡的特色料理，本來以為價格會很高，但細看單價，價格從NT$120到NT$1288元的料理都有，大多主要菜色都在200到300之間，真的不會很貴；一進門的帶位到放置包包的服務都還不錯，有王品的調性，唯一再加強的是服務生在介紹菜色時，不要等到問了才說，建議送菜的時候先講一次菜名後，再介紹其特色，或許會更好，當天用餐往往是送餐之後，我再舉起手來問一下料理的特色。

每一桌會招待的前菜蘿蔔泡菜，脆甜脆甜，帶點冰涼口感的果酸味，很開胃的小菜，醃的還不錯。
九轉粉腸，NT$200元
店員有說這到九轉粉腸是到功夫菜，是用粉腸反轉一層一層的穿進去，非常耗工耗時，一口咬下來時有粉腸的軟，卻又多了許多彈性，味道上屬於甘味的中藥，口味上不算重，淡雅中帶有清甜，老實說還不錯吃，但布雷克喜歡重一點的或Q一點的滷大腸，呵。
滷水嫩豆腐，NT$120元
這道滷水嫩豆腐口味算是特別，滷汁帶有一點豆漿的燒焦味，就好像在喝鹹味的來來豆漿，焦味散去後有股回甘，咬下去還會滷汁噴出，看似未滷透，但內裏卻整個都是滷汁，有種介於百頁與嫩豆腐中間的口感。
瑤柱雞蓉皇宮菜，NT$220元
瑤柱雞蓉皇宮菜與剛剛的九轉粉腸一樣，亦是一道工序較為複雜的手路菜，蛋白與切成碎狀的雞肉打成的雞蓉，再一片一片的裹上皇宮菜，滑嫩中帶有點甜味與苦味，讓布雷克意外的是竟然都沒有到偏硬一點的梗，整個口感順華滑中有一點黏感，後續還有一點鮮鹹餘味，應該是干貝上湯炒香後，所帶出來的鮮甜。
百秒黃花魚，NT$250元
吃得到魚肉的鮮甜，口感非常細緻綿密，魚刺細多了點，不走重口味，單純吃魚肉的原味，烹飪的方式是用類似塔吉鍋來盛黃花魚，再用明火現燜100秒，沒有額外調味，就以蔥與薑入味，有趣的是這裡的薑不切片也不切絲，是以丁狀入菜。
酸柑汁，NT$98元；荔香馬蹄水，NT$108元；藍莓紫芋，NT$108元，椰芒鳳梨，NT$108元 黃金荷葉包， NT$220元
在PUTEN莆田用餐有一種享受，很難得在中式料理看得到細緻料理手法，炸成金黃色的芝麻荷葉包，每一個荷葉包上的芝麻分布的位置都很整齊，在視覺上就是一種享受，看起來像是割包，吃起像是炸過的銀絲捲，油味不重，搭配醬燒肉絲味道上是有夠的，但也會不太重，脆脆的洋蔥讓體說又多了層口感。

吃起來很像是糖醋排骨，又比一般的糖醋排骨多了一味，荔枝果香甜味很豐富，酸酸甜甜的，非常好的下飯菜，但吃多了有一點點膩口，算是今天吃到口味較重的料理之一。
星洲肉骨茶，NT$388元
星洲肉骨茶一上桌就能聞到濃濃的蒜香，湯頭胡椒味算重，帶有蒜頭的韻味，喝起來心頭就暖呼呼地，店員是說蒜頭也可以吃的，吃起來整個就很鬆軟，排骨的部份是選用豬小排，亦有提供老抽，老抽其實很像是台灣的醬油膏，卻沒有那麼鹹，也比清醬油來得稠，肉不是爛的那種，是帶有嚼勁的，沾上老抽，反而帶有點甜鹹味。
甫田魯麵， NT$180元
用豬大骨與雞肉熬成的白鹵汁，再將麵條下去熬煮，讓麵條能吸收到湯汁，每一條麵拉起來時，湯汁其實都吸附在表層，帶有一點滑嫩，麵條本身不會太爛還帶有彈性，感覺像是細一點的大魯麵，味道上是鮮甜，因為配料不同，增加了許多層次感，蝦子、蛤蜊、干貝、香菇等等配料，最特的是也有加進來剛剛滷水嫩豆腐，吃到一半還有那特別的焦味。

PUTIEN莆田以中式料理來看，其精緻度算是有的，口味上也改變我本來對於新加坡菜會是重口味的觀點，反而吃起來有種清爽的淡雅，但其中比較重一點口味的就是後面幾道，重點價格真的不會太貴，很實惠的消費。服務的部份，布雷克覺得還可以再多一點點會更好，送餐的時候就能一併介紹菜色，不要等到舉起手來後，永遠都是同一個人來告知料理特色，另外大量用了米其林，我個人是有一點反感，呵呵，這不影響PUTIEN莆田是一家口味不錯又有精緻度的餐廳評語

Top 10 alternative places to visit on Taiwan's east coast  | Taiwan News

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- The East Coast of Taiwan really is the jewel of the island. While visitors to West Coast would be justified to question whether the name of "Formosa" (Beautiful Island) is really justified, once they make it to the east, the answer quickly becomes apparent.

The region is largely (but not entirely) unspoiled by the industrialization and pollution of the west and boasts a mix of spectacular scenery, fascinating cultural history, and a warm and friendly local population. But is relative geographic isolation is both a blessing and a curse. Sadly, for many visitors from overseas, it often means the area is either overlooked completely or only enjoyed from an organized tour to those places which make it into the tour guides.

Often that tends to mean Taroko Gorge, with perhaps one night spent in Hualien. Those that do make it to Taitung will often drive direct and not stop to enjoy the scenery on the way. I have written before about some of the spots that Taroko has to offer beyond the usual tourist fare. In this article I am going to consider the East Coast between Hualien and Taitung and pick out my Top 10 Alternative places to visit.
Change order

As you drive down the East Coast coastal road between Baqi (芭崎) and Shitiping (石梯坪), it is quite easy to miss the Xinse Rice Terraces (新社梯田). But keep an eye out for the small sign and accompanying straw figures as it marks a spectacular little spot. This small collection of rice paddies occupies a spectacular spot with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and is perhaps the most spectacular rice paddy in Taiwan.

The terraces drop down from the road towards the coast and visitors are free to wander between the paddies. In summer, the rice turns a stunning golden color providing a spectacular sight. In winter, the paddies are used to grow sunflowers which provides a very different, but no less impressive spectacle. As a way of breaking the journey between Hualien and Taitung, the Xinse Rice Terraces offer a perfect stopping point and are even a great place to enjoy a picnic.

The fishing industry has been the life-blood of the East Coast for generations and there is no better place to experience this than the Chenggong Fishing Harbour. Most people here still make their living from the sea and as well as seeing the fishing boats coming in and out, the harbor is home to a big fish market. Here you can watch the skilled fisherman scaling and boning the fish they have caught. You can also buy fresh fish which small restaurants in the market will then cook for you to enjoy.

Once you have eaten some fish, why not go see some in the local aquarium? The Chenggong Aquarium is dedicated to clownfish (think Finding Nemo) and there are hundreds to see. If kids aren't happy enough with that, there is also a great touch pool there too. It is also possible to take a boat trip from Chenggong to try and catch a glimpse of the whales and dolphins that frequent this part of the Pacific.

The Baqi viewing point is mentioned in passing in some of the guidebooks, but nonetheless easily missed. It is situated on a tight hairpin bend as Highway 11 winds its way between Hualien and Jiqi (磯崎)and visitors frequently miss it, especially when there is lots of traffic. But it is well worth a stop. It is usually a calm and serene spot and offers a spectacular view looking southwards down the coast over Jiqi Beach(磯崎海灘) (also worth a visit, especially if you like surfing) and the mountains beyond.

It is a great place to break the journey, not least because there is also a neat little shop that offers decent ice cream, cold drinks, the local delicacy bamboo rice too. They also offer some lovely local aboriginal handicrafts.

Also located close to Jiqi Beach is the Dashibishan Trail, a pleasant walk up and around the mountain close to the beach. It is an easy trail, suitable for all ages and abilities. There are two car parks from which walkers can start and the route will take them in a loop around this small mountain.

On the way are several gazeboes where you can stop and enjoy the views along the coast and out into the Pacific Ocean. Despite it's proximity to the number 11 Highway, the walk is peaceful and there is plenty of flora and fauna to enjoy in addition to the sea air and lovely views.

To describe Chiaming Lake as the second highest lake in Taiwan does not really do justice to this spectacular spot. Chiaming lake is a relatively small, deep blue, oval-shaped lake located off the Southern Cross-Island Highway on the edge of Yushan National Park (玉山國家公園).

It sits in a stunning, isolated spot surrounded by forest plantations and offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Its name means 'Mirror of the Moon' but it is more commonly referred to as the 'Angels Teardrop'. It fits both names well and is the type of tranquil spot that is increasingly hard to find in Taiwan these days.

The Lintienshan Forestry Area is the location of one of the largest logging operations on the eastern coast of Taiwan and was known as 'Little Shanghai'. But today, logging has long been banned and it has been transformed into a picturesque large park and recreation area.

Visitors can enjoy various hiking trails as well as take in a fascinating little museum into the logging industry in this part of the country. Quite a bit of the original logging machinery has survived and is on display along with the old buildings which now house exhibitions on the industry as well as other cultural artifacts from the area. The trains which used to carry workers around the area have also been restored. There is plenty to explore and it's a great place to see how Formosa was damaged by mankind, but also how quickly it can bounce back.

For inexperienced hikers who still want to enjoy the best of Taiwan's stunning mountain scenery, the Walami Trail is perhaps the best trail in this part of the country. Starting from the trailhead, visitors will walk across spectacular suspension bridges en route to the picturesque Shanfeng Waterfall (山風瀑布).

With a permit, it is possible to continue your walk on a two-day hike, staying overnight at the solar-powered Walami Cabin (瓦拉米山屋). But this is a long and steep journey and only for those with a bit more experience. This part of the trail takes no more than two hours and is accessible to all ages. The basic part of the trail takes no more than two hours and is accessible to all ages. If that seems too long, there is another even more accessible waterfall you can enjoy nearby, the Nanan Falls (南安瀑布)

Fengtian is a small village famous for its jade. Between 1962 and 1986, more than half of the world's Nephrite, known as Fengtian Jade (豐田玉) came from the nearby mines. While the mines are now closed down, it is still possible for visitors to find some jade in the Baibow Stream (白鮑溪), which runs downstream of the mine.

If exploring the mountains and finding your own precious stones isn't enough, you can then take it back to the village, where in one of the factories, visitors can now (for a small fee) learn how to polish the stone and make your own jade souvenir with it. Fentian offers a great insight into a very Taiwanese trade as well as an enjoyable experience for adults and children alike.

The 12-hectare Mataian Wetland is located right in the heart of Amis country. On the various trails around the wetland, visitors can see all manner of different types of wildlife, from fish and shrimps to big, frogs and insects. In the summer months, there is also a spectacular display of lotus flowers across the site.

As well as the wildlife, visitors can learn about the unique way the Amis people caught water creatures using a special layered cage, which catches different-sized creates on different layers. In the nearby communities, there are also plentiful opportunities to enjoy traditional Amis cuisine too, which even without the wetland is good enough to make a stop.

Cross-mountain roads

If you are traveling by car, or even by bike if you are feeling energetic, a great way to enjoy the unspoilt mountain scenery in this part of the world is to take one of the roads which connects Highway 9 (the East Coast road) with Highway 11 (The East Rift Valley road). They all provide an opportunity to enjoy the surroundings while getting away from the two busiest roads in the area.

Highway 30 is also known as Yuchang Highway (玉長公路) and is the longest and straightest. It includes a 2.6km long tunnel in which travelers can sometimes find themselves moving from one localized weather system to another. Highway 23 runs from Fuli (富里)to Donghe (東河) and is much longer and more winding, but much more spectacular for it. But my personal favorite is Road 197 which will take you from Highway 9 to the small village of Fugang (富岡). This route is shorter, but quieter and also particularly scenic. But all three are well worth a detour.

Stargaze the night away at Nan Tou

Stargazing isn’t on most travellers’ to-do lists when in Taiwan, but this unconventional activity is going to make your trip so much more magical. Stargazing tours are often conducted by local guides who drive travellers to stargazing sites, where you’ll form some of the most enthralling memories of your trip.

Cing Jing at Nan Tou is a popular site for stargazing due to its high altitude. So if you happen to visit Cing Jing, be sure to set aside a night or two for some serious stargazing!

Taipei's answer to Central Park is a welcome green expanse amongst the traffic noise of the inner city. It's a great place to observe everyday life for local residents, as they roller skate, dance and perform martial arts around the park's forested trails. It's also a good thing to do in Taipei with kids if you're on a family break, as there's a pond with turtles and ducks, a good network of flat paths and a fun playground.

This area represents Taipei's contemporary art scene and there's an appealing creative energy here, plus a lively programme of events and exhibitions. It's all housed in a re-purposed tobacco warehouse, with book stores, coffee shops, a design museum and plenty of interesting boutiques selling handmade Taiwanese crafts. Stop and take it all in with a coffee and an eggtart from Wu Pao Chun bakery, or check out what's on for upcoming performances and events.

Opening times vary but generally last from 12pm to around 10pm, and the best bargains are often found at the end of the week on a Sunday.

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Cingjing Minsu - Julie's Garden

We had a good rest after the long day yesterday. I'm glad that we didn't opt for the early Hehuanshan Sunrise Tour from Cingjing, since we have already witnessed the astounding sunset at Hehuanshan Wuling.

Related: Taiwan Itinerary Day 2 - Taiwan 8D7N | Taroko - Hehuanshan - Cingjing

Our room at Cingjing minsu (homestay) - Julie's Garden has an excellent view for sunrise. The initial plan was to wake up before 6 a.m. to see the sunrise from our room's balcony. But the moment I opened my eyes, it was already too late. The sun shined through the curtains and lit up the whole room. I quickly went out to the balcony with my camera to capture the amazing mountainous scenery.

See that castle-like building in the picture above? That's the Old England Manor, a luxury hotel in Cingjing. Even though it is merely a hotel, due to the unique European styling, it has become one of the attractions in Cingjing. You may want to experience the stay at Old England Manor if you have a loose budget. Initially we wanted to visit the place but we were told by the staff at Julie's Garden that they do not welcome outsiders visiting their place just for photo taking.

If you would like to visit Old England but find it too expensive for a night, you may consider to have a meal or afternoon tea at the hotel. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to enjoy afternoon tea at the Old England due to time constraints.

After getting ourselves ready for the day and packing our stuff, we went to the reception for the checkout. Finally I could take a photo of the minsu 's exterior.

For the photos of our room at Julie's Garden, see our previous post.

Julie's Garden

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Cingjing Minsu - Breakfast

After checkout, we headed to the minsu 's cafeteria to eat the complimentary breakfast. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the view from the cafeteria. It seems like when you're in Cingjing, there is beautiful scenery all around you.

There weren't too many choices of food - you get the traditional Taiwanese breakfast that has porridge, eggs, stir fried glass noodles and toasts.

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Cingjing Farm 清境農場

Free shuttle service is provided from the minsu to Green Green Grassland and vice versa, but only certain timings are available. After the breakfast, we hopped onto the mini van from Julie's Garden to the Cingjing Farm - Green Green Grassland!

In less than 10 minutes, we reached our first destination of the day - Cingjing Farm (清境農場).

The adult ticket price on a weekday is NT$160 each. One thing to take note is, on weekends and holidays, both equestrian/horse show and sheep show are available at certain timings. On weekdays, only the horse show is available.

Sheep shearing show timings: 9.30 a.m & 2.30 p.m (only weekends & every day on summer holidays and new year holidays, except Wednesdays or rainy days)
Equestrian show timings: 10.45 a.m & 3.45 p.m (all days)

We were a little bit disappointed because the sheep show was not available. But on hindsight, if we watched both sheep show and equestrian show, we wouldn't have had the time to take so many beautiful photos. So if you are like us and you prefer to slowly take your time walking around the farm, coming on a weekday is a wise choice. At least you can avoid the weekend crowds. Furthermore, there will be plenty of chances for sheep encounters because you can find sheep all over the place at the Green Green Grassland!

Cingjing Farm 清境農場

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Cingjing Farm - Green Green Grassland 清境農場青青草原

The Green Green Grassland is huge! Once you enter the farm, you can see the unfenced sheep scattered all over the place! You can get really close with them and snap a lot of selfies. There are vending machines where you can purchase sheep feed to get even closer with them!

Cingjing Farm is tucked away from cities in the mountains at an altitude of 1750 meters. You can enjoy fresh air and greenery in this huge area and you can easily spend a few hours here. This place is highly recommended if you have kids with you. The adults get to enjoy the great scenery while the kids can have a chance to get close to the nature and have fun on the huge grassland.

Upon entering the Green Green Grassland, you can already see the magnificent scenery with mountains in the background.

So many photo opportunities!

There's scenery everywhere you go at the Green Green Grassland!

From the entrance of Green Green Grassland, there's quite a distance to the Guanshan Pastoral Area, where the equestrian show stage is. We were slowly enjoying the scenery and taking some photos along the way while heading to that direction.

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Guanshan Pastoral Area 清境農場觀山牧區

Upon entering the Guanshan Pastoral Area, you will be greeted by rows of food stalls selling various food and drinks. There are also some stalls selling local products like goat milk or milk candies.

If you're not watching the Sheep Show like us, you may take your time in walking and taking photos along the way. Otherwise, you may want to walk at a faster pace to be on time for the Equestrian Show.

On the way to the horse show stage, you can enjoy the scenery where sheep are eating grass along the hill beside a big windmill, backdropped with the layers of mountains and the clear blue sky. Oh just a gentle reminder, while admiring the beauty of nature, beware of the poo poo under your feet!

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Equestrian Show at Guanshan Pastoral Area

Finally, we reached the horse show stage around 10.40 a.m, just right before the show started.

You may want to come here slightly earlier to find a good seat under the shade. Otherwise, you'll end up like us, getting seats at the side that visions were blocked by steels poles.

But nevertheless, we still enjoyed the show very much. We were astounded by how skillful the performers are in equestrian sport.

After the show, you get to take photo with those beautiful horses and the skillful performers.

It was quite amazing that they actually kept all the horses except this little cute pony! The pony gets to move freely on the grass.

We honestly didn't know that we would be enjoying ourselves so much at the farm.

After leaving the horse show stage, we left Guanshan Pastoral Area and we emerged from the farm at the other end of Cingjing, where the Small Swiss Garden and Carton King are located.

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - From Green Green Grassland to Carton King & Small Swiss Garden

From the Guanshan Pastoral Area to the Small Swiss Garden, it requires a 30 - 40 minutes walk. Initially I was trying to use GPS on my phone as there was no clear indication of the route to Small Swiss Garden on the Cingjing Farm's map. We saw a lot of people just following the main road which looped back to the Green Green Grassland.

Thankfully, while we were wandering in front of the Great Nature Theater entrance which seemed to be closed and empty, we noticed a couple coming out from inside. When we approached them, they told us that they just came from the Small Swiss Garden!

So if you would like to go to the Small Swiss Garden or Carton King, enter the entrance of The Nature Theater and walk along the path. Upon entering the area, you'll see a quiet stroll path within the forest.

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - 487-Step Trail 步步高升步道

After a short walk along the pathway, what greeted us next gave us a big "wow'. Coming out from the forest, there was a super long staircase trail, namely 487-Step Trail (also named as 499-Step Trail). From where you stand, you won't be able to see what's at the bottom of the endless staircases.

Going down the staircases was pretty tiring. But thankfully the walk was accompanied by the beautiful scenery along the way and there were also benches available on the trail. In February, the trail will be filled with plum tree blossoms on the sides! If you're planning to visit Small Swiss Garden before walking up to Green Green Grassland, be prepared to conquer these long, long staircases. If steps are not your thing and you have time to spare, you can take the longer walkway route instead of the steps.

After completing the 800 meters of descending staircases, we've come to the main road. From the junction, there's still a 10 - 15 minutes walking distance to the Small Swiss Garden and Carton King.

Along the way, you can see a lot stalls selling all sorts of local products and fruits.

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Lunch at Carton King 紙箱王

After the long walk, we have finally reached the place that we are going to have lunch at - Carton King (紙箱王). Almost everything in the restaurant is made of cardboard, including furnishings and decorations. We are so impressed by all the creations here!

If you're also planning to visit Small Swiss Garden and Carton King, be sure to visit Carton King first! If you spend more than NT$300, you get a free admission ticket to Small Swiss Garden worth NT$120.

The food at Carton King is really good! We weren't expecting much given what we've read about the place but we were pleasantly surprised.

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Cingjing Small Swiss Garden 清境小瑞士花園

After our lunch at Carton King, we walked to the Small Swiss Garden just right next to Carton King.

As you can tell from the name, the Small Swiss Garden is a beautiful garden with a Northern European atmosphere. The colourful garden is also known as Paradise in the Mist and Taiwan's Little Switzerland.

Before we visited the Small Swiss Garden, we heard from a local driver that this place has nothing special except some artificial flowers and decorations. Hence, our expectations dropped by a little bit after hearing so and we only allocated less than one hour to spend here.

But to our surprise, the Small Swiss Garden is not that small afterall. Besides the artificial flowers, there are a lot of beautiful decorations, real flowers and that plants that add more liveliness to the place.

I won't say Small Swiss Garden is really fantastic but the colourful garden filled with flowers (both real and fake) is still worth a visit if you come to Cingjing. There are a lot of LED artificial flowers that will be lightened up in the night. So if you're staying at the minsu nearby, you may get the stamp before leaving the garden and visit the garden again to experience the different atmosphere at night.

Unfortunately, we received a call from the driver of our carpool service to Taichung (arranged by our minsu, Julie's Garden), saying that we had to depart earlier than the scheduled time. Without having a choice, we had to leave the Small Swiss Garden after a mere 30 minutes. It was such a pity that we didn't get to explore the whole garden.

Small Swiss Garden 清境小瑞士花園

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - From Cingjing to Taichung

We booked the transport from Cingjing Farm to our hotel in TaiChung with the help of our minsu, Julie's Garden. It was a car pooling service and the price differs depending on the destination in Taichung. It costs us NT$500 per pax from Cingjing to Beacon Hotel at Fengjia, Taichung.

The fare was considered expensive as compared to public transports. But it was much more convenient. The driver first picked up our luggage that we entrusted to the staff at Julie's Garden, then pick us up at the 7 eleven near Small Swiss Garden.

Apparently due to the less than expected amount of bookings for both 1.30 p.m and 2.30 p.m rides, they combined the passengers from both timings together. We were a bit upset with the abrupt change but on the brighter side, we were able to reach Taichung earlier than expected. Thankfully, the journey from Cingjing Small Swiss Garden to our hotel, Beacon Hotel at Fengjia only took us 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Taichung Hotel - Beacon Hotel at Fengjia 碧根行館

I'm sure most people who visit Taichung would be looking for hotel near the Fengjia area for easier access to the famous Fengjia Night Market. But why stay near to the night market when you can actually stay right at the Fengjia Night Market?

Beacon Hotel is smacked right at the heart of the Fengjia Night Market. Imagine the moment you step out from the hotel and find yourself surrounded by numerous stores and food choices. By the day, the street downstairs looks just as normal as any street in Taiwan. By the night, cars are prohibited on the street in front of Beacon Hotel as the place turns into a happening street where all the youngsters gather.

Beacon Hotel is located right next to McDonald's, Watson and the famous Taiwan face mask - My Beauty Diaries store. There are bus stops right in front of Watson and also across the road in front of the Nike Store.

Beacon Hotel has a humble storefront and you might miss the entrance if you don't pay attention. But the exterior look doesn't tell much.

To our surprise, the hotel reception is not located at the first floor, but at the 12th, the highest floor! At first, judging from the hotel exterior I thought the hotel might be just a small establishment. But I was wrong. Upon coming out from the lift, I was shocked by what I see next. The hotel lobby is so huge and grand!

There's a conference room, study room and computer room for the hotel's guests to use.

Just so you know, there's even a gym for those hard cores who need to workout during their stay.

And our room is on the 6th floor!

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Our room at Beacon Hotel

Finally we were going to have a rest at the room that we would be staying for both nights in Taichung. Let's have a room tour!

Our room is extremely spacious, classy and cozy! Beacon Hotel in Taichung is the best hotel that we have stayed throughout the whole Taiwan trip. We got a huge King sized bed and it's super comfortable, perfect for us after a long and tiring day.

There's even cozy sofa in the room for you to rest your tired legs.

I was so in love with our room! If only we could stay for a few more days.

You won't be able to find electric switches in the room because everything is controlled by the telephone! Isn't this way too cool? You can control the air conditioner and all the lights while in the bed by just reaching out to the telephone.

You can find all the useful appliances like a kettle, refrigerator, hair dryer and safety box in the room.

Let's have a look at the bathroom. In a hotel, what matters the most to me is the cleanliness of the bathroom. Thankfully, the bathroom here in our room is very clean and spacious!

There's even a bathtub! I could totally spend more than an hour in the bathroom.

The bright lighting and huge mirror in the bathroom definitely makes a girl's morning make up much easier. Next to the sink, there's another isolated space for showering.

I love how they arranged the essentials in the toilet in such a neat and creative manner.

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Miyahara 宮原眼科

After a short rest at the hotel, we set off to our next attraction - Miyahara (宮原眼科) by taking Uber. We could have taken direct bus from our hotel but we were too lazy to do that. The beautiful building with high ceilings consists of a full service restaurant, an ice cream parlour and retail shops selling Taiwanese delicacies .This is no doubt a MUST VISIT place in Taichung.

But why the name Miyahara - 宮原眼科 ( Gong Yuan Yan Ke)? The building used to be an ophthalmology clinic opened by a guy named Miyahara during the Japanese occupation era.

A special write up for Miyahara will be posted shortly.

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Yi Zhong Street/Yi Zhong Night Market 一中街

After having the "luxurious" ice cream at Miyahara, we took Uber to Yi Zhong Night Market. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, Uber has already been banned in Taiwan. So if you wish to travel from Miyahara to Yi Zhong Night Market, you may choose take taxi or bus. A 10-minute taxi ride will bring you there.

Here at Yi Zhong Night Market, we have finally found our favourite street food in Taiwan! We'll talk about this in a separate post. (Coming soon)

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Ah Ming Shi Lao Dian Tai Yang Tang (阿明師老店太陽堂)

Tai Yang Bing / Sun cake (太陽餅) is the most famous delicacy in Taichung. Ah Ming Shi turns out to be one of the most famous Tai Yang Bing brands here in Taiwan. When you visit this place, you will find a lot of different brands of Tai Yang Bing along Ziyou Road. Ah Ming Shi has several branches across Taichung, you may choose one that's close to you.

Actually, this main store of Ah Ming Shi Lao Dian Tai Yang Bing at Ziyou Road is very near to Miyahara, but we don't want to carry the heavy sun cakes around so we came back to here after visiting Yi Zhong Night Market.

There are two flavours available - the original (malt) and honey milk flavour. Personally we prefer the honey milk flavour which has a strong milky taste and sweeter, but some people prefer the original one instead. The original malt flavour contains pig oil so it may not be suitable for vegetarians.

There are free samples available for tasting before you purchase. Out of greed, we also bought their pineapple tarts! But when we tried out the pineapple tarts together with the other brands that we bought in Taipei, we think that it is still better to get your pineapple tart fix from the shops that are specialized in making pineapple tarts instead.

Both of the Tai Yang Bing and pineapple tarts can last for one month from the date of purchase. But it is recommended to consume them within one week for optimum taste.

Look at the amount of Tai Yang Bing the other customers purchased:

Here are the prices for the items we bought at Ah Ming Shi Lao Dian Tai Yang Tang:

Original malt flavour (10 packs) - NT$200 Honey milk flavour (12 packs) - NT$300 Pineapple tarts (10 packs) - NT$280

If you find it too troublesome to carry the heavy Tai Yang Bing around when you visit the shop at the beginning of your trip, you may opt for their delivery service to have your purchase delivered to your hotel. But I'm not too sure about their delivery areas so do check with them if you wish to do so!

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Walking around Taichung

Our next stop and also the last stop of the day, is the home of the original bubble tea in Taiwan - Chun Shui Tang. Since the original store is located just 10 minutes walk away from Ah Ming Shi Lao Dian Tai Yang Tang, we decided to walk to there.

We almost mistook this as the Chun Shui Tang because we saw the name at the side of their signboard. I guess they are sort of related?

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Chun Shui Tang Cultural Tea House (Original) 春水堂創始店

After 10 minutes, we finally reached Chun Shui Tang Original Store (春水堂創始店) at Siwei Street. Chun Shui Tang in Taichung is the inventor of the worldly famous bubble tea. How can we visit Taichung without trying their signature bubble tea?

Taiwan Itinerary Day 3 - Heading back to Beacon Hotel

We booked an Uber ride to send us back to Beacon Hotel to call it a rest for the day. On our way home, we passed by the following Tai Yang Bing (Sun cake) shop:

It is the "No.23 Tai Yang Bing Shop" which our driver in day 2, Neil recommended. Neil mentioned that this is actually the most popular brand among the Taichung locals instead of the other famous brands.

Initially we were unsure of whether to try Neil's recommendation or stick to the famous brand that we wanted to buy. But since we didn't see the shop while we walked around in Taichung city, we forgot about it until we passed by on our way back to hotel.

A few days later, we met a taxi driver in Taipei who appeared to be Taichung local. He told us that the best Tai Yang Bing in Taichung is not one of the well known brands like Ah Ming Shi, but the No.23! We felt so much regret for not buying from this shop but it was already too late. So guys, if you manage to try out the Tai Yang Bing from No.23 shop, do let us know how if they are really better!

On the next day, we're heading to the Xinshe Sea of Flowers, Xinshe Castle, Xinshe Mushroom Farm, Lavender Cottage, Rainbow Village, Gaomei Wetlands and lastly, Fengjia Night Market.

Nothing will hook you in quite like DIY shrimp fishing, 24-hour "catch-your-own-shrimp bars" that are a more off script approach to the Taiwanese food scene, requiring you to put in some work before dinner is served.

If you want to eat, you are going to have to earn it. Welcome the Taiwanese take on The Hunger Games. It's a more literal equivalent rather than an episodic, fight to the death but I'm not kidding when I say that I whispered " ...and may the odds be ever in your favor" like a solemn prayer before casting my line. Indoor s hrimp fishing is a popular form of entertainment in Taiwan, transforming food into sport. Huddled around a shallow rectangular pool, seasoned anglers and wannabe fishermen attempt to catch the freshwater shrimp lurking in the murky depths below. When it comes down to shrimping, you're submerged in a painful waiting game for your next meal. An underground urban phenomenon that's been around for the past three decades, shrimp fishing been gaining traction within tourist circles due to the likes of Anthony Bourdain, Vice Munchies, and my good friend, Sonny of the Best Ever Food Review Show (who finally convinced me to go on this mission). I'd liken this recreational exercise to the Taiwanese version of bowling. This pastime is ultimately a combination of Taiwan's strong affinity for fellowship and its deep-seated maritime traditions.

WHERE TO GO SHRIMP FISHING IN TAIPEI

The large majority of indoor fishing pools are clustered around the Shilin MRT Station. Most blogs state that the pools are an easy hunt away, but in actuality, the pools are a bit hidden and more of the beaten path than others would suggest. After about 20 minutes of walking and entering a more residential area, we flagged down a taxi and asked for the spot made popular by Bourdain. Honestly, if we never hopped in the cab we wouldn't have found it!

Name? ChuenCheng 春城釣蝦場Where? No. 471, Section 2, Zhishan Rd, Shilin District, Taipei, Taiwan 至善路二段471號 士林區, 台北市 111 Taiwan How to get there: Take a taxi and show them the address in Mandarin below to avoid any confusion although most taxi drivers will know what you're taking about. You can also take the buses 1, 13, 18, 19, and 255 and get off at the Waishuaxgi Bridge Stop. Cheung Cheng will be two doors down to your left.

HOW MUCH DOES SHRIMP FISHING COST?

The price is fixed. One hour starts at NT$350 (~$11.50 USD) and you get one fishing rod, a net and a plate of chicken liver and some dried baby shrimp for bait. There is no limit as to how many shrimp you can catch and how long you can fish for, so feel free to just linger. If you find yourself rather unlucky, not to worry, the site doubles as a seafood restaurant specializing in *dun-dun-dunnnn* SHRIMP. So don't worry about going home with an empty stomach.

HOW WE MADE OUT WITH SHRIMP FISHING

This shrimping arena is housed in a somber warehouse with the harsh light of day giving seeping in from massive steel frame windows. The establishment is sectioned off into three main areas: the pool where the catching commences, the dining area where revelers munch on their shrimp skewers, and at the back end of the warehouse is the cooking station. At the entrance, you're invited to look at the price board while the staff puts together the necessary gear. In no time, you'll be walking towards the pool. Make sure to grab a drink from the fridge, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. We're not judging. But it was 1 p.m. when we arrived, too early to get drizzy-drunk, although shrimp "bars" tend to be a place where people keep the party going long after the Shilin Night Market stop, Taipei's most popular night market.

As a fishing virgin, I easily messed up untangling my line however, I found out I have a knack for baiting hooks. Tim and I started shrimping but my endless fidgeting and the drifting of my line seemed to have caught the attention of a middle aged Taiwanese man named Oscar, who took an instant liking to Tim. I'm not sure if he came to our aid simply because of the Taiwanese affinity for helping or if our pathetic selves won over his sympathy- either way, I was happy to be in his company. He put special bait on Tim's hook, the secret being shrimp intestines, and left us to our own devices but not without keeping a watchful eye out on Tim. After Tim lowered his line, he caught one immediately! He threw the first catch of the day into his net securely fastened onto the faucet hanging from the pool's inner wall to keep the shrimp wet.

After 50 minutes of fidgeting on the uncomfortable plastic chair with my line swaying and my patience growing thin, Oscar came over again and gave us some more of his special shrimp intestines. It's a bit tricky to slide the intestine on the hook, which should be approached as if you're lining the hook, but when that's done, it makes for a quick win! When I lowered my line down with the fresh bait, I felt a small tug on my line and the bobble lowered once. Oscar motioned me to wait a minute for a second tug, which is the time when you should reel it in. After the bobble dipped underwater again, I gently tugged on the line and out came my little bottom dweller. These freshwater shrimp are much bigger than I expected and flail around miserably with their multifarious ligaments going each and every way. But it's hard not to admire their bluish ochre exoskeleton when holding them up close. Head's up: you have to be up to the task of pulling out the hook deeply lodged in their mouths. It was pretty grim, not gonna lie. We were almost at an hour and a half into fishing so I attempted another score with the newly learned strategy. Booyah! Got it! All in all, Tim and I made out with three hefty shrimp. But another surprise of the day was being presented out of the blue with a net of about a dozen shrimp from a veteran shrimper. The guy parked directly across from us came over and just handed Tim the net and then walked back to his seat. He was a man of little words but the gesture spoke volumes of this incredible kindness that reverberated throughout the city. I love how we came into this feast thinking we weren't gonna eat and now we made off with more then we could chew!

When you've caught your fill, head to the back of the warehouse to start cooking process. The sizzle of the grill becomes louder as you near your destination. Feel a bit intimidated? You could just copycat the process or better yet, ask someone to walk you through the process!
