Trip Journal - Day 2

Day 2: Kaoshiung ---> Taitung

I thought i would be pretty tired to wake up at 6am but surprisingly not, heee... Maybe becos its only the start of the tour.

1st Stop: Spring & Autumn Pavilions (春秋阁)
A place where you can see the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas - BUT, when we were there its under renovation!! Sigh.. so quite a few areas that we are unable to access. Mainly just go there to take some pics, that's it. Nothing very interesting here.

Outside the pagoda - Obviously, i need a haircut soon!!

Rarwww like Dragon

2nd Stop: Mei Non Hakka Village (美浓客家村)

Not really a very 'village' place cos pretty commercialise already. A small place where you can learn a little more about the Hakka culture.

Playing the puppet show



3rd Stop: Fo Kuang Shan Monastery (佛光山)

We reached this place around 11am+. Hee... so by time, i was feeling alittle hungry, then when i saw the place..... i almost FAINTED! The temple is far high up! With choice of either steep staircase or walk path - either way... it seems sooooo far away... *Xerene was hoping that there were helping transport like cable car or mini bus etc* Help.....!


Finally, we reached the temple.....




4th Stop: Hon Yeh Hot Spring (红叶温泉)

Ah..... My FIRST time to Hot Spring eh :) & i was describing to SH & Evil Jojo about my hot spring experience. So i said "The hot spring is very hot!" Hahaha.... Darn lame but that's what came into my mind first when i wanna describe the 'how i feel'.

Okie, besides that its super relaxing and i love it! You are surrounded with nature as you dip yourself in the hot spring... with views of mountains under the starry night - nice nice!!

We only spend around half hour there cos it starts drizzling and they said you would need to get up once your fingers starts to get 'wrinkled' :)


We are ready for the Hot Spring


After the 'Dip'




5th Stop: Master Bear Resort (小熊渡假村)

I love this place cos it's very cosy and you far away from the city. This resort is situated at one of the Mountain at Taitung - nice air and environment there.


Reached the "Little Bear" Resort

After dinner, they even organised some games for us and we also lighted the Sky Lantern (天灯) - You need to write your wishes on the lantern and if manage to light the Sky Lantern, it means your wishes will come true! Heee.... They also put up some fireworks & I've uploaded 2 videos too! :)


Writing down our wishes on the lantern








And it's time to go to bed after all the activities - actually feel quite sleepy after the hot spring dip. I kinda have a feel i'm gonna fall sick... so quickly i popped down a panadol & indeed i had a good sleep for the night :)


This is my Room :)
