Taiwan tour 2008 (part2) with videos

Day 6 eveing we visited the 新拙江 NM. The next evening we visited the 六合 NM. Finally tried my favourite roast duck roll. You can find this easily in the south but quite rare to find this in Taipei nowadays. Tried the coconut too, v v sweet!! better than i expected. It's also the seanson for custard apple - they call it 释迦. we sometimes refer as thailand laichee too.


we also tried out the new MRT in Kaoxiong, very morden,comfy and stable. But the shops were rather deserted...unlike those in taipei.

visited also the famous 佛光山.



then we travel to Tainan after spending 2 days in Kaoxiong. Supposed to travel by high speed rail but we decided to follow the tour guide van instead. Visited the 安平 ancient castle and the side street shops for buscuits. It was a weekend so there is a big crowd of visitors which makes this small town very lively.



Had lunch the the market and taste 6-7 variety of tainan famous local dishes, including Coffin board (棺材板).




In the morning we visited the 延平郡纪念馆, the memorial hall for the folk hero 郑成功. In southern taiwan there are many many of halls, for which to remember the man who drive out the Dutch and fight against the manchuirans too.

Then we visited the taiwan salt museum in 七股. Took quit a few nice picture there and understand a bit more of the salt history too.



In the evening, we visited the famous 台南花园 NM. This huge night market is only open in the weekend. Now you can see why i took a long detour into the south and spend times in KX...just because i want to arrive in tainan on a sat to see and taste the NM !!









We arrived there abit late...7pm is the peak hour and is really v v crowded. Eat another 2 pieces of my favourite roast duck roll.


Hotel in tainan is also the best we have experienced so far in the past 7 days.




day 9 - going to visit 赤坎楼 and the 南元 farm stay.....we played golf and ride boat/ buggy and in the evening play lottos to win firecrackers as prices, overall a enjoyable 1 day stay in the farm.



They have display of 茶花 in the farm...reminds me of 天龙八部, the flower with white base with few red lines...isn't that 段誉mention - 美人抓破脸?
