Taipei Itinerary Day 6

BeiTou Hot Springs Museum, Bei Tou Thermal Valley地熱谷,Xi Men Ding & Taoyuan Airport


I apologise for the really long post of my last day in Taiwan.
LAST DAY? D: *Full of unwillingness to go back to SG(Really love TW food!)*


Last day....... Of course I will spent on food the most!Food that I won't have the chance to enjoy in Singapore! The TASTE is completed different and definitely so much better compared to Singapore. It's no surprise because these food are from Taiwan specialty.

The very famous 阿宗面线Ah Zhong Mian Xian.
I had it takeaway during my first day but the noodles are so delicious and soft I need to have it again!
This time round, I ate in in front of the shop itself.
FYI,there were only few chairs placed and NO tables.

Breakfast:

 

 
Let's go to BEITOU HOT SPRINGS AREA !
 
Mummy and I waiting for the train towards to Xinbeitou.
 
HOW TO GET TO BeiTou Hot Springs Museum, Bei Tou Thermal Valley地熱谷 : Take train to Beitou station.ALIGHT and CHANGE TRAIN to Xinbeitou station, which is just one stop away.

 
The train to XinBeiTou station:

 
The seats are placed differently compared to other normal trains. 
If I didn't remember wrongly,there's television inside the train to XinBeiTou station!
 
And we reached..... Xinbeitou station :)

 
Exit the station and you will see the signs as usual..Follow and walk ~

 
You will come across this but still continue walking up the road.

 
And you have reached BeiTou Hot Springs Museum ^^








 
After a good look at the Museum,we carry on walking to the Thermal Valley.
These are what we walked past:
 
Beitou Outdoor Public Bath

Due to time constraint, my mum and I didn't get to soak ourselves in the Hot Springs Bath this time round again...... THIS IS SAD.


As you continue walking, you will see this:
 
You can soak your feet in the waters of this stream which comes from the Thermal Valley!
& let's enjoy  :)
My mum love it very much! Just look at her smile =D



There were quite a number of people soaking their feet too!


Now, walk further up and keep a lookout for a fork in the road to your left. That would be the entrance to the Thermal Valley!
 
Beauty. I took quite a number of shots in my phone and camera. I really love the breathtaking scenery! (Note: Photos for this post are captured by my camera)
 





So peaceful...


THIS IS MY EASYCARD. In Singapore, we call it as EZLINK CARD.
This Easycard accompanied me to all my destinations in Taipei :)
Really useful but time to refund the card to get my deposit and remaining value in the card.

 
BACK TO XIMENDING
How to go Xi Men Ding: *Alight @ XI MEN STATION*
 
Tried DING CHA Bubble Tea! A lot of pearls but I love it ^^



 
Visited my favourite food stall to have my lunch!
 
It's not smelly tofu but just NORMAL FRIED TOFU :) 

 
All time favourite dish in Taiwan due to the sauce and starch :)
YUMMY Oyster omelette!

Carrot cake in Taiwan.
In Singapore,our carrot cake includes egg but in Taiwan,it's different!!
THE SAUCE AGAIN<3

After my lunch,I went to my favourite desert stall again which is just near a steamboat shop.
My life is complete ...........
The SHIOK feeling when I had this:
MANGO SNOW ICE with MANGO ICE CREAM!
 
Walked around Xi Men Ding to do some last minute shopping and back to East Dragon Hotel.
Waited for our driver to drive us to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport..




 
Had our dinner in the airport.


The food there wasn't satisfying for me.. The only thing I enjoyed was my Papaya milk drink木瓜牛奶.


There is a Disney shop and a Hello kitty shop beside it:)


Let's enter the Disney world *dreams*


Queuing up to board the plane.
BYE TAIWAN. See you in a few years time ..
