Taiwan Trip















7D/6N Taiwan's Round Island Charm was considered a hectic one. 6 nights with 6 different experiences of hotel stay.
Taipei's Stay
Among the places of interest include the following:
Visit to the shopping complex and 101
101 is the landmark skyscraper in Taipei. On the day of visit, the sky was not cloudy and as such we did not get a breathtaking view from the top. It would have been different on a clear day.

Discovery Centre of Taipei
The Discovery Centre of Taipei invites us to delve into the history of Taipei.

National Palace Museum
In this, we find priceless Chinese art treasures, one who spans over China's nearly 5000 years history.

Farm Stay
This was where we related to nature. It was a relaxing environment that offers more than just beautiful nature. We went to the fruit orchards and picked fruits. At night, we made a wish by releasing a sky lantern. It is considered good luck to release a sky lantern and many also believe they are symbolic of problems and worries floating away. One also sends wishes with these lit lanterns. DIY on the designing of the T-Shirt and Bag. We have the option of choosing the T-Shirt or the Bag for designing. After that, the T-Shirt or the Bag was for our safekeeping.

Sun Moon Lake
Sun Moon Lake is the largest lake. However, there was nothing to shout about as the Sun Moon Lake was drained off water.

Wen Wu Temple
The temple was built to enshrine and worship Confucius, Guan Gong and Yue Faye. We have to gain entrance through the left (dragon) and exit through the right (tiger).

Traditional Dance
The stay at the Highlands where we experienced the following:
o Indulged in the experience of hot springs;
o Witnessed the traditional dance arranged specially for the hotel guests.

All in all, it was an enjoyable trip with a very entertaining local tour guide. Something for sharing.
