Taipei - 貓空

Maokong (貓空) is located in Wenshan District of Taipei, Taiwan. The area used to be the biggest tea growing area of Taipei. Now it had transform into a tourist attraction for local and foreigner. It is a popular place for tea culture and viewing the night scenery of Taipei City.

The easy way to go there (for me lah) is take the MRT to the Zoo station then take Maokong Gondola (貓空纜車). It cost only RM 5 for the Gondola. There is also minibus services deliver passengers directly back to the Taipei Zoo MRT station

The beautiful view from the Maokong Gondola (貓空纜車) ride. So make sure you stay awake.

When you reach the top, you find a lot of restaurant, cafe and tea house. Don't just stop there because they are more for tourist. The best is take a map and go for walk (a long walk). You will find more great tea house as you walk deep inside and less commercial.

This one is highly recommended, plum ice cream. It's sold at a shop on your left hand side once you come out of the Gondola station and look for kind old lady..

Great thing about taking long walk is that you will be able to laugh with your friends and take a lot of 白痴 photo.

second pix show a dog tie to hot dog stand...we have a good laugh out of that.

After long long long long walk, we reached our destination, The tea house.

The way of making tea and great snack to go with it.

After all the walking this is a great way to enjoy the rest of the afternoon.

We leave Maokong with this scene....

Taipei Wulai - 烏來

Wulai (烏來) is a small town in Taipei County Taiwan and famous for its hot springs. We opt for Taxi because there was four of us. From Taipei main station it cost us around RM60 running on meter. You can also opt for MRT take the Xindian line to Xindian Station then take the bus Number 849 with destination name 烏來 Wulai at the bus stop in front of the station.

After walking around the small town, try out the little train which bring you back memory lane on the old way of transport.

Expect to do a lot of walking and hiking but when you reach the top it will be all worth it.

This is our final stop....It will kill us to walk further...

I think the main attraction for me in Wulai is the hot spring....No particular recommendation, there are so many choices just google or once you get there ask for recommendation from the local...They are really friendly. You can also check it out before you choose.

After all the walking and hot spring food is all we had in mind. You can try the street food along old street (烏來老街). A must tried is the wild boar meat....We chose a restaurant a local recommended. The beauty here is where we were dining in....The scenery make any food taste great.

Taipei Late Night - Ez5 Live House

After constant nagging about staying up late when on holiday, my friend make sure I get my dose of late night....黃啟彰 highly recommended and took us to Ez5 Live House, it was better then I have expected for a late night out. It is located on Taipei’s Anhe Road (安和路), directly opposite Shangri-La Hotel.

Although it was a bit pricey, we had to pay RM 70 each for cover charge that come with any two drink on the menu or one food dish and a drink. To me it was worth every cent cosy place, great music and drink that make my head spin.

This is me acting like a little fan. 卓义峰 is one of the three performer that night and I love him.

As u can see by now I don't have a lot of pictures here. I would love to have taken more but there is no photo taking during performance and I didn't have my camera with me...I was using 啟彰 cool lomo camera...

Since there was so much walking someone have to take their shoe off.

After Ez5 with my head spinning and talking non stop we make out way to supper (Stinky tofu, it didn't smell that bad maybe it was because of the alcohol).

We took a lot of 白痴 photos, these are the normal one. I have so much fun thank to these friends. Thank Thank Thank.....

非常困难拍到的日落
