It had been many years since I had been to Taiwan. I had visited Taiwan for countless times but I hadn't done any sight-seeing. So this time round, we visited Taiwan for a 4-Day trip. Kind of a short trip but to hubby & myself, we thought 4 days trip is fairly fine to us as we are travelling with 3 young children... Though we had brought our helper along, but I guess 4 days are sufficiently more than enough, else... we should be tired of exhausation with the kids??? hahahaha....
We had booked a hotel located in 西门町，Swiio Hotel. It is a new boutique hotel with very unique designs. Rooms are of abit of a small scale... Should be just big enough for 1-2 persons:-p Below are the pictures we taken from the lobby... something different huh?
We left our baggages with the hotel and started our sight-seeing upon the 1st day of our arrival into Taipei. We had hired a local driver to bring us around, and he had brought us to 野柳 to see those geographic rock structures. It has a very beautiful scenery as you can see. The girls enjoyed it too.
The picture below on the top right hand, it is a popular trademark there, and they called it "The Queen's Head" Look like one? But this one we took wasn't the actual one... hehehehe... The rest of the pictures were some corrosion of the rocks.
After 野柳, we headed off to 九份. It was a very busy town. There are alot of tourists and locals who wil come and visit this little town. It is bustling with lots of people and of course, alot of yummy food and souvenirs to buy.
After 九份, we headed off to 十份where people go there to put the 孔明灯. It is a lantern which the Taiwanese believe that writing your wishes down on the lantern, and light it up into the sky, your wish will come true??? Will it?
So Mimi was busy "drawing" on the lantern while Mummy was off looking around and shopping for souvenirs before we ended our tiring day....
Here are some of the food around our hotel in 西门町.
On the 2nd day, we went to 淡水. It was also a very busy town. Lots of people too but it was definitely a great place to go too if you enjoyed food and the beautiful seaview.
Oh, and not forgetting, I had to visit their Hello Kitty Sweets Restaurant. Because everything was HELLO KITTY!!! Food wise... I personally think it was just so-so. Prices are quite costly due to Hello Kitty trademarks.
And also, we visited Taipei Main Train Station on the 3rd day.... There were a few underground shopping malls, but nothing fancied me probably due to the season change to winter soon, so most of the clothes were of winter wear.. Tough luck... But Mimi got a good deal, buying her boots at only NT200(sgd$8)!!!
Here are some of the food I bought from the Taipei Main Station...
Egg Pudding in an Egg...
AMO cakes... which was highly recommended to try when in Taipei...
Hmmm, well, to me this cheesecake was just so-so... Probably because I think my cakes are much better? Oopsie...
