Destination 6.1.5 : 清境的逢甲夜市裡日日月月數喬巴 it's Fengjia Nightmarket + Nantou

LAST POST for my Taiwan trip 2012

But I'm still having 3 more topic to post for Vietnam, Europe & Malaysia

+ upcoming 2 more trips in 2013...

OMG OMG OMG

I should close this 1st

======================================================

The last area I write about is somewhere around the center of taiwan

There's mainly 2 places we visited here

for 2 days 2 nights

This was the place we overnight while we were on our way to Nantou

This is the best night market that I've ever visited

Yes!!! it's even better than Shilin Night Market

I'm so sorry to say that

this is all about food stall spamming

all the stall listed here are good

so everything i tried that night were all good

(I'm not gonna describe each food I ate)

Well, actually I didn't know which are nice and which are not
We just went for those stall with long queue + delicious looking
Duration to spend here is whole evening because it's so damn long
with lotsa alleys and people

Opps... I still haven't mentioned the name of this market
it's Fengjia night market 逢甲夜市
named after the university next to it

Here comes the food stall spamming
Just the picture of the stall as we were busy eating after we got the food :P

And I don't really know how am I going to translate these food into english LOL
Just leave it as it is.
There's still lots of shops for fashion around,
but those are not really cheap

Oh... almost forgot
we dropped by a very famous chocolate shop while we're on our way to Fengjia

hmmmm... i'm not sure where is this place
but i'm sure that lot of taiwanese would know this shop
18̊C Handmade chocolate

They're not as good as Neuhaus
but I personally like their liquor truffle

======================================================

Next...

The very famous Sun Moon Lake

 日月潭

We just dropped by a while for scenery

on our way to One Piece Theme Park

Opps... it should be the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village
九族文化村

This is the entrance but this wasn't where we enter.

We entered from the other entrance where is above the hill.

Then you can take the cable car back to this entrance.

From the other entrance through cable car,

you can see the whole sun moon lake

Then you can have cable car transit once you reached the village.

The transit is directly to the theme park from village. 

So, we started from the theme park and back to the village after that.

To every One Piece fans out there, this is your heaven.

Actually the amusement ride is not about One Piece...

It's just the statues they placed in the theme park

We took more photos than riding in ride. 

with Flying Merry Go

surrounded by Strawhat crew

Baratie Restaurant by Sanji :D

and lots more...

Don't forget to return for the culture village

You may take the cable car up again
and walk down the hill along the village

There's also a stage for cultural performance
It'll take you around 20 mins to just walk down the hill
excluded time for photo

Out of the entrance
there's a really nice garden there

of course we spent whole day here
just to take photos

reward of the day...

Full of One Piece merchandises...

======================================================

Phew... the final attraction of my Taiwan trip in year 2012

Let's go for sheep count in Cingjing Farm, 清境農場

This place has a lot of sheep running free
so you'll see a lot of shit on the ground too
They might eat your stuff if you're leaving them unattended

There's 3 shows available here
Sheep show (not strip), horse riding stunt and clown show
Please check the schedule at the entrance before you enter.

This place is kinda wide and sunny
It's quite a walking distance from one place to another

You can walk up the hill to feed them or buy souvenirs

Horse stunt?
It's the other side of the field

and clown show is somewhere nearby to this
just a bit more deep inside

Since it's a long way here
Of course you shouldn't miss the nice scenery along

No photoshop is done to this... haha

It's just so not us if we leave without any relaxing time
Actually we saw a very nice building on our way there
It's something like a hotel

We thought that we could get high tea here

but couldn't

so...
we went to the other hotel that serve hi-tea buffet

Nicely designed hotel (forgot the name)

the restaurant named The Old England
the environment is nice and look vintage
but the hi tea was just so so
good place to relax but not for food

======================================================

Well that's all on how I spent my trip out of Taipei
and this would be my last post for my Taiwan trip 2012.

It's for sure that we'll return to Taiwan again
mostly will be south of it
with least priority as there's still lots of counties to visit

Next post will be about my Ho Chi Minh trip with the awesome gang
I spent less than RM1k in that trip (everything inclusive)

ciao.
