Taiwan
Its been a year, I have been caught up with a lot now. But I am continuing our virtual tour with my travel series.
Our next destination is Taipei, Taiwan. One of my craziest and unforgettable trip. Maybe you can consider visiting this places soon.
1. Yangminshan - This place is bit far from the city centre so prepare a lot of patience in riding the bus. There is a big garden but do your research on when is the best time they bloom.
2. C.K.S Memorial Hall - One of the landmarks in Taiwan this is a very tourist-y spot. Just bring a lot of water as this place is big and you need to walk a lot. But knowing such history is additional information on your brain.
3. Maokong Gondola - Just near Taiper Zoo, there is this gondola which will bring you up and there are traditional tea shops you can visit and unwind. Or if you just wanted to ride you can also just do a full circle.
4. Taipei Zoo - My friends and I fascination to pandas led to this unplanned location. There are a lot of animals to see in this vast place but definitely the interaction with the pandas are the highlight.
5. Taipei 101 - Your Taiwan expedition will not be complete without visiting this high point building. Not only with its height there are a lot of luxury shops and foodstalls can be seen here. You will see a lot of business people, and when we can here there are also protesters as this is also near their City Hall.
6. Yehliu Geopark - This is part of the 3 location tour provided by Klook that we availed. I suggest also taking the tour especially if you are alone because if you DIY it will cost you a lot as locations are very far from each other and even on the city.
7. Shifen - I super love this place because of the aesthetics, the food and the floating lanterns. As one of the signature places of Taiwan, this is so pretty plus the chicken legs was to die for. If I will be back I definitely pic this place.
8. Jiufen - For Spirited Away fans this is your place to be, as this place inspired the said anime movie. This is also a place for souvenir shopping so be ready for your wallets and knowledge in direction because there are a lot of streets that make it a bit confusing
9. Raohe Night Market - We seriously love shopping but this is a market will a lot of street food so make sure your stomach’s empty before you come here so you can enjoy Taiwan’s local cuisine/street foods.
10. Fisherman’s Wharf - This is a popular location for Taiwanese dramas, I mean look at the beauty. It is a bit far from the city but a very worth it location we didn’t stay long but the calmness it will bring you is amazing.
11. P.S. Bu Bu - Me being a Meteor Garden fan cannot resist not coming here. This is the place where Shan Cai and Dao Ming Su had their first date. It is so cool eating on vintage cars. Plus the food is delicious, it is a bit pricey but worth it.
12. National Taiwan University - Another Meteor Garden location, they have used the entrance and the hallways for the drama. It is just so cool that you can enter universities here even you are not a student. The trees was calming and refreshing from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you are curious in the university life of Taiwan this is a must visit.
