Taipei Itinerary Day 3

 

Window on China Theme Park[小人國] & Shilin Night Market

 
 
Sorry for not updating my travel blog!Was really busy every single day working and hanging out with friends.Back to main point...
 
 
SO,this was my everyday breakfast in East Dragon Hotel(Taipei) during my stay.
There's honey&butter bread which i didnt took a photo of it.
 
I remembered pretty well we woke around 8 and set off to Jingan station.
We walked out the station and took bus to Window on China theme park.
I went to ask for help @ tourist information center on which bus to take and the easiest way to reach my destination during day 1.
Obviously,I could'nt remember which E-Go bus number i took since this trip was 1 month ago.. However, this bus stop has a board to tell you which bus number is heading to.
 
P.S / When I walked out the station,I crossed 1 traffic light since the bus stop is loacted at the middle of the road.
 


Window on China Theme Park(小人國) Directions:

MRT: Jingan Station

Board E-Go Bus @ 安捷運站 -景平路486  (outside jing an station’s bus stop)

Please go to http://www.e-go.com.tw/web2010/cht/busline_2.php for the specific/arranged time the bus will reach @ Jing An Station !


 
It was a long bus ride and I had managed to nap!
Anyway,you can reach LeoFoo Village Theme Park too when you board the e-go bus.
The bus will stop at a station where the bus driver will ask you to alight to pay for the bus ticket.
You can sign packages too! Bus(2way)+Themepark package is cheaper than you purchasing separately.
I WAS SO SAD AND ANGRY that time because it was my birthday month and Window on China Theme Park is giving FREE ADMISSION to November babies.However,you need to show your IC/Passport to prove to them.BUT I DID NOT BRING IT ALONG WITH ME!!
I wasted 550TW on the themepark ticket ;( Which is like SGD$27.50 ? I can save it to buy my clothes man :(
 
Enough of my whining stories and here're some pictures for you!





Look @ the TALLEST WATER RIDE/SLIDE.I think it's Asia's or world's tallest water slide.. It was the most scariest/thrilling ride there.Others were kiddy rides............which I played with mum... *My mum has an age now so she could not ride those thrilling rides.*
So,I WATCHED these kids playing this water slide while I felt in despair...Timid ME does not have the courage to ride it ALONE.


  THESE WERE CHILDREN WHO JUST CAME DOWN FROM THE SLIDE!

 
The Bus ticket.

 
So went to SongShan International Airport to exchange our money to Taiwan cause my mum almost used up hers.Took train to Shi Lin night market around 6 plus ..
 
I LOVE SHI LIN NIGHT MARKET THE MOST!
IT'S A MUST GO NIGHT MARKET IN TAIWAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's a lot of delicious finger food and clothes/bags for me to eat&Shop!
I went there for the 2nd time during my day 5!
My mum bought bags of tarts,muah-chee for family/friends/relatives.
I REGRETTED NOT EATING THE FRIED CUTTLEFISH........

 

SHI LIN NIGHT MARKET DIRECTIONS :

MRT STATION TO ALIGHT : JIANTAN STATION

Walk out & there's signs to guide you to the market ;)

 
IMPORTANT NOTE*: DO NOT ALIGHT AT SHILIN STATION because the distance will be further for you to reach Shi Lin Night Market.


 
It's a penis shape... My mum disallow me to buy it because she felt disgusted :( :/
Im not sure what's inside!

 
THE FAMOUS :

 

LOVE AND MISS THE CHICKEN !!!!
FYI to Singaporeans out there,it's also available @ Ion Orchard Basement!!!!!!
Im not sure whether the taste/size will be the same as Taiwan's because I have not tried it myself~

 
 
Took this in cab and bye Shilin Market~ Hope to see you again!

 
 
 
Any doubts,feel free to leave a comment below!

Taipei Itinerary Day 2

Shopping & Eating in lovely Taipei


DAY 2


Goodmorning & goodbye to my long fringe........ Really miss it but at the same time, Im happy im in my bangs now! For the next few photos in Taipei,all my photos are fringeless because i used hairband everyday due to my bangs were in inappriorate lengths >< I was extremely "Gey kiang"(act amart) that i didn't let down my hair when i was getting my fringe cut in Taipei. Hence,when i reach Singapore,i went to the nearby salon to have my bangs trimmed again!

As usual, took train to our destination, LONGSHAN TEMPLE.
It's very simple! Just alight @ Longshan temple station and there will be signs to guide you when you walk out the station . Took me around 5-8mins to reach the temple!

 
Know the Chinese Movie Film "Monga 艋舺 " ? The movie was filmed at Long Shan Temple(龍山寺) !!!!!
 
After praying @ Longshan Temple,my mum and I decided to take a walk at the nearby market near the train station and the temple.

We went to Sogo Shopping Mall after that.
Alight @ Zhongxia Dunhua Station !
Theere's full of branded stuffs ~
Tourists can go have XIAO LONG BAO @ Din tai fung located @ B1 if im not wrong!
I didnt tried it because i wanna spent all my money on things i did not tried before! 
 
Went out of Sogo Shopping Mall and randomly walk around the streets.
Decided to settle my lunch at this shop since there's quite a number of customers. The soup was tasteless.. Food was average.. I would'nt recommend this to all of you ..

 
It looks quite delicious and appealing right!Thanks to my camera's effect !!!!!!! 

招牌面  TW40 which is SGD2

 
Walked further down after lunch and mum rebonded her hair @ a Japanese Salon while i got my fringe cut!
Mummy look so cute and happy after her hair-do!!!
 
TAIPEI UNDERGROUND MALLS after that !
SHOPPING MOOD ACTIVATED !
 
For your info,there's 4 shopping underground malls . Here's 3 of them which have more things to shop & see !
 
PLEASE GET LOST AT THERE ;)!!!  Simply too much things to shop at there espcially shoes!I became a SHOE-holic in Taipei!!!
 
Personally,i love to shop @ Taipei City Mall and Station Front Metrol Mall .
Follow my directions below,for example, Y1-Y28 if you would'nt like to miss out any shops there.There will be signs indicated Y1,Y2 and so-on.
 
TAIPEI UNDERGROUND MALL(S)  
MRT: Taipei Main Station,take exit M1 (Red line)
Taipei City Mall (Y1 through Y28).
Station Front Metro Mall (denoted as Z)
Taipei New World Mall (K)

I only took a photo of Taipei City Mall because i want to relax,shop and concentrate~
 
My mum shopped a lot of clothings there while I bought nothing for myself.However,I bought food/shoes/clothings for cousins and friends!

Since we carried many bags on our hands,we trained back to Ximen Station. Bought night market snacks again to eat @ hotel <3

Strawberry Snow ice w/ Ice cream! MAD LOVE!<333
 
 

This marks my day 2. Didnt went to any FUN attractions since it's a day for me to shop.
Any doubts,PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT and I will try to help ;)
