A Walk in Taiwan (IV) 《台湾之走》《第四篇》

Hi,

Since I am a bit free now, I have decided to update
Day 4 also in A Walk in Taiwan Series. Have fun!

Early in the morning, we are drag to visit shops (ones that involves $).

A shop selling Chinese Fungus (灵芝).

Fungus that are processed and sliced. Nice looking ones.

Besides Fungus, they sell other stuff like this skeleton of a deer embryo. Scary.... Believe to have healing even. So, they are trying to say the death can help a person to live.

Believe it or not. These two packs of Fungus cost RM 2000++ Striking~!!

A jagung stall at the side of the road. Stop by to enjoy the food and sugar cane. Haha! Still like those corn. They have corn with sugar cane flavor. Meaning that the corn is cook in sugarcane syrup.

Nice scenery just behind the stall. I love Taiwan's terrain!

This is the Temple of Thousand Buddha.

On top of the temple, random picture I took with a beautiful sunset.

They do have a small baby Buddha too. Hehe! Cute!

Similar to most temples in Taiwan, they have this deep flavor of Chinese architecture.

Looks same as those you see in old style Chinese movie.

Same here with the Temple that is in the middle of the city. A tiger and a dragon if you are to notice closely.

Day 4 ends with coming back to the 21st Century a the Dream Mall doing some shopping.

That is all for Day 4 in Taiwan's Series, folks. Stay tune for the next update!

A Walk in Taiwan (III) 《台湾之走》《第三篇》

Greetings,

I am back to continue the Taiwan Series. Sorry for the delays due to some commitments. Anyways, enjoy. I will be brief this time. Enjoy!

Random picture i took when i just woke up in the farm.

This is how my room in the farm looks like from the outside. Extremely nice morning.

Farm from different view.

That morning, we went to visit a temple which i find its architecture appealing. The temple in a fish village. I forgot the name already.

This is the temple where the statue was coated with pure gold.

Here is one interesting fish in a fishing village. It is a sturgeon but dried. It is actually taller than me.

After the fishing village, we went to the other town. On the way, we have lunch at one f the restaurant. They serve this lovely little bamboo that had mixed rice in it. Very convenient and nice.

Now, we are the far east of Taiwan. To go the the west side, the government has built a highway that cuts through the Taiwan Island literally. This East-West Highway cuts through mountains and took a lot of effort to built it.

View of the mountains from our tourist coach.

One of the few nice scenery that I have taken.

This is one of the thousands of rock formation that you can find among the mountainous terrain. Some of the rocks actually look like something. I will leave that to your imagination.

This is one of the few hundreds of tunnels that are available.This one is called the Nine Curve Dragon Tunnel. Sorry for my bad translation.

After all the rocks n mountains, we find ourselves in among more rocks. But this time, we are at the precious stone manufacturing facility where they sell all kinds of stone. This particular ones is "Cats Eye" (猫眼石).

In that facility, they have a stone museum sort of thing.

At the same facility, they also have a sort of theater that promote the indigenous tribes' culture. This are one of there performance.

A mixture of tribes.

That is all for Day 3 in Walk in Taiwan. I will update the series. Stay on with your support for me. Thanks!
