Day 4
BeiTou > Yang Ming Shan > Dan Shui > Yu Ren Ma Tou


train to xinbeitou where the hot springs are..


@ xinbeitou station.. we decided to have our hotspring at yang ming shan instead of beitou.. just take a bus outside xinbeitou station to yang ming shan. the bus ride is C.R.A.Z.Y and it is scary.




view of yang ming shan.. we had a hard time finding the hotspring resort.. stupid uncle directed the wrong road. sigh.. caused us to climb down climb up.. tiring man.










there were many many stairs..


roadside stalls selling fruits. the mangoes were VERY FRESH and delicious. nicest mango i ever had in my life. too bad i cant take it back to sg.. sigh..


both of us agree that the mangoes were nice!!!!


hao chi ah hao chi!!!


zhen hao chi!!!





the ah mao who directed us the direction..


yeah! finally we found the hotspring resort and it is CHEAP. NT$200 per hour each which is less than $10. a friendly couple give us coupons so we only spent NT$150 each for hotspring. i thought it gonna cost more than NT$1000 each from what i search on da net. haha.. might be the fact that the resort is located at yang ming shan. SUPER ULU PLACE to have hotspring! hotspring-ing is very relaxing!!


we didnt manage to cover yang ming shan in detail due to time constrait. NO CHERRY BLOOM LOR! uncle lied to us :(

after that, we headed to DANSHUI. many local specialities to ta bao back home.


this is ah-gei. a famous MUST-TRY xiaochi when u are at danshui..


took ferry to yu ren ma tou.. nice ride :)








the whole place was so deserted! cos of the very bad weather i think. anyway.. yu ren ma tou is a good place for dating. hmmmm.. i think the bridge behind is lover's bridge?


after walking for so loooong, we finally found a seafood resturant. friend is choosing the food while i wait. =p den this funny part..

me: can stir-fry it with chilli sauce? any bun to go along with it?
lao ban nian: huh...? bun??

ooops! this is sg style and they do not offer it in the menu. in the end, we settle for taiwan style..


see the egg? the crab is full of eggs lor!


our mess.. haha! i dun really enjoy the food cos the way they cook it is VERY different from sg way. not used to it. but i feel that it was kinda dangerous to dine there cos there were nobody in sight on da street. the next table uncles were so ah beng!


this is one of the aunties in da restuarant. the whole restuarant give me a very homely feeling. the workers will just to our table and chit chat. oh yup, the total bill came up to abt SGD$100 becos of the huuuuuge crabs. crazy!!!


we took bus back to danshui.. ended our day 4 early..


i am kinda missing taiwan now. i just feel that i didnt manage to enjoy till the max. feel lyk slapping myself for not buying enuff local specialties back. SIGH!!! feel so bad for those who asked me for presents. no presents at all leh :((( nextt time next time i will!! kinda saddening that the clothes in display are ALL WINTER WEAR. den hor, stupid friend cannot wake up early. haiz.. didnt manage to cover some places in detail..


VERY DULAN NOW la also. my sg sweep ticket is 2851685 but it came out 2851682. WAH LAU. if i tio, i would get $1000 leh!!!! anyway, i dint buy lah. it was enclosed in da ang bao given by my company..


u say angry not angry...?
