Bye Bye Howard resort hotel.

We travelled for 30mins and arrived at YeLiu Geographic Garden

To see?
Rocks.
Rocks that look like the queen's head
Rocks that look like mushroom
Rocks that look like Taiwan's outline
Rocks that look like slippers

Pictures will be uploaded later.
:)

It's near the sea in 基隆
It's refreshing.

Lunch@101
Just had lunch at 85 floor of 101
欣叶 101 食艺轩
The food is soso, but the view was fabulous !!

After lunch, we head on to 九份
The guide said that is gonna be a 1.5hrs ride.

Along the ride
Our guide told us that there might be no train ticket to 花莲
And the road to 花莲 would be very dangerous
The road to 花莲 is one of the deadly road in Taiwan

He is now trying to get the tickets for us
Chances is that the group might have to split up
And there might be no sitting seats

Tickets done! All have tickets!
:)

九份
A town up in the mountain with an interesting yet sad story behind it

Bought:
The face mask that wei Siang wants
眼罩
A postcard
印章
刮痧板

Did I mentioned that it had been raining since my arrival at Taiwan?

It's call 基隆雨

Time for nap.
On the way to train station for train ride.

Reach train station
Onboard train now
Just had their 便当
Not nice :(
It's going to be an hour train ride

Ps: the 便当was bought from the convenience store and the nice and famous one is selling onboard.

But sadly
It's SOLD OUT

Reach 花莲
However, the driver isn't here yet
And will only arrive 40mins later
He ain't late
It's just that the train ride will take 1hr plus but the bus ride is almost 2 hrs

Waited at 花莲 train station, visited the 7-11 store
I'm amazed.
Their 7-11 practically sells almost everything!
U can easily get my beauty mask at 7-11
I'm like OMG

Had shabu shabu in 花莲
It's a buffet style
Their soup is good
The food.........
I shall not comment.

Left shabu shabu
Heading to nanbing night market but
It's closed and it's boring
Thus we headed back to hotel
