TAIWAN - TaiChung

It is time to move back up NORTH, from KoahSiong to Taichung ... the journey continue. We can choose travel by train or by bus. According to the visitor information centre, by train we can enjoy the scenery and by bus is faster. We decided to choose train, in Malaysia we seldom can take train to travel.

Sun Moon Lake
We stay in a hotel that face the lake for the first day and change to other hotel (cheaper hotel) the next day.
View from the hotel

Boats for rent

Morning view

Full with history

Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village
This village mainly devided into 2 parts, the theme part and the culture village. Entrance fees NT 550 for student. We took derect bus from Sun Moon Lake, direct bus is kinda less so the other alternative is take bus to Puli and from Puli to this village.

The palace .. heheh .. it is a restaurant

The aboriginal dance

DIY time (NT 40 if you want to try)

My product ... hehehe .. now become coin storage at my house

We look wet right??? hahahha ... it is because the rain and we walk / run all the way down to catch the closing ceremony. Cross a few field .. longkang ... hahah .. climb here and there. Really good experience lucky didn't get sick.

At TaiChung city we went to Taichung Science Center. That place is huge and have several theme. A good place to visit.
