Taiwan Day 2 Part 3

a better view of yin yang sea (陰陽海) from web! this is how Jiu Fen looks like, that explains why I think it's not v accessible! Jiu Fen Street Above images from: here

Prawn something? HAHAH! but v nice!

Xiao Zhu(Show) loves this ok!!

read for urself!!!

curious cat..

I was so scared that I will fall *touch wood*

so the kind sister shielded me and stood behind HAHA!

:D

so nice right, i know.. Natural formation leh!!!

Yin Yang Sea!!!

This sea has been like that for decades and it remains as 2 different colours..

It was due to the heavy metals that causes that redness..

Golden Waterfall (Huang Jin Pu Bu)

The reason why it was named this way was that in the past people used to mine for gold at the top of mountain and eventually the waterfall formed and was in that "golden-orangish" colour! :D

my sister's skill D:

AWWW!!! I was astounded, totally!

:D

awww!

anyway, if u intend to go here, I will suggest u go to Bitou Cape cause u can explore the whole place and walk around too!

the driver fetched us here and insisted we take a pic!

the Jiu Fen Street!

Ai Mai supermart!

It's not easy to find a huge mart in taiwan, unlike SG!

dinner @ Wu Fen Pu!

her fav lu rou fan!

lots and lots of clothes omg *faint*

it's a wholesales place so u must take time to hunt

that is Dong Long Hotel!

East dragon hotel.

This is KOI!! *jump*

dont ask me why it's named 50 lan. Just google to learn more. Lazy to explain!

back @ XMD! :DDDD

first time trying this, likeashiok!

like nipple hor!

last night staying at this hotel!

Last post of day 2!!

The driver insisted that we must visit 9 Fen so we wont regret so he actually charged us free as he understood that both of us were not willing to pay that much... so nice IKR.

He brought us to these attractions which I didnt bother to research about, my bad.

I didnt even know they existed LOL. But all these places were located along roadside so it's safer to travel by car or else u definitely cant find them before sunset..

I was taken aback to see these as there is none in SG..

We didnt shop at 9 Fen street as it was so crowded and we were kinda anxious to go Wu Fen Pu to shop already, but at least we had been there and knew how it looked like...

The driver was v nice, he went down to buy some food for us without us knowing because he thought we would be hungry by then.. I think he doted us like his own daughters.. He showed us her pictures and he kept repeating we are of the same age.. -.-

My sister asked him random question about getting some "Wei Li Cha Jiang" because we couldnt find in any convenience store and he immediately drove us to a huge supermarket to get them..

He knew it wasnt easy to get to supermart from XMD, awww!!

Journey back to WFP was about an hour plus because there is traffic jam! But thankfully he has tv installed and i got some entertainment while sister was damn sound asleep!!! Anw if u intend to go KeeLung, do visit KeeLung Miao Kou because there are lotsa things to eat!!! I may even suggest Lovers Lake Park! FYI, my day 2 was travelling around KeeLung!

there are many other great places to explore there!! :D

From WFP, we took metro at HouShanPi station(exit4) back to XiMen, from WFP walk 5 mins west along YongJi street to Zhongpo N. Road! Or else, just ask any shop keepers! :D

Day 2 was a tiring day, but it was a day that left such deep impact in me and sister because if not for the driver, we would not know how beautiful Kee Lung is!

Ok for the shocking part, the journey from YehLiu to Shi Fen and from Shi Fen to Taipei cost NT3k, he showed us the price list in the beginning though. He brought us to alot of places without charging us, so we were not scammed. But the family agreed it was worthed the $. LOL.

I dont know how u will view it, but both of us really enjoyed this day.

Taiwan Day 2 Part 2

3,2,1 FLY! :D

that was the moment!!

pulling and adjusting to light up the lantern!

I was WOWed with the waterfall!

when I finally got the view I wanted, I ran out of film so I had to change to the mermaid ones!

I dont know how u will feel, but I felt absolutely blissed when it flew up!

(Y) my family!

major love!

then TU-TU the train is coming!!

all had to siam to the side!

i feel so BHB writing the GPA 4 but then, it's a wish isnt it..

wish dont usually come true...

this GPA 4 is so striking i know..

my sis wrote first!

on the hanging bridge!

waiting for the driver to lead us around!

十分瀑布

yes, that is the place!!

walking along the track to get to the place

then suddenly the train is coming!!!

the driver quickly snaped for us! HAHAH!

yeah one more!

finally reached and already could feel the drop in temperature..

awed???

awww!!!

it's not man-made ok!

then to this place!!!

different colors symbolise different blessings!

entrance tickets to the waterfall!

i love how beautiful they are!

I'm sorry but have no choice to split Day 2 into 3 parts!

From Yeh liu, we got approached by a taxi driver and he was a licensed certified Kee Lung-Jiu Fen- Shi Fen guide..

My sister was tired and lazy and decided to board the cab despite the price..

We wanted to go 九分 & 十分 quite badly after all the forums I had found..

but from what i had gathered the route there is very complicated and what i didnt expect what it is located at some hill/mountain. YEA GG.

it was abt an hour ride, the road was narrow and it went higher n higher till my ear got blocked.. Because these places are quite inaccessible yet considered tourists' spots, those trained drivers are also the tour guide to the areas mentioned above.

he brought to the waterfall and got us cheaper rates! :D

Totally cant compare to the one we have at Jurong Bird Park =XXX

Had a good time exploring and we went to the Shi Fen Street to put lantern!（孔明灯）

There were also several singaporeans spotted cause they wrote all the 4D n TOTO stuffs. LOL.

I was after the academic one while sister wanted the career colour so we bought the combined one at only about $5!

After writing and taking photos(which is a must), we released it into the air! omg, seriously..

Sorry cant help much with getting to the place cause I took a taxi. HAHAH!

I shall stop this post, quite abrupt but Day 2 havent ended uh! :D

PS: I still have the driver's namecard, he wont scam u cause he has the booklet of the prices stated. He ferried alot of singaporeans n malaysians! I doubted him at first but he really changed my perspective towards him after the day, he was really helpful and wanted us to really enjoy our trip in taiwan! omg. He knew I hate cigg and he only smoked during toilet break! HAHA! I shall reveal more of his kindness in my next update! Singapore's drivers... =X
