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!
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.

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.

A Walk in Taiwan (II) 《台湾之走》《第二篇》
Coming to Day 2
We woke up like 6am (OMG~!, havn't done that since Secondary School) in the morning and heading towards our first destination of the day, Court of Indepedence 〈自由广场〉. This is where all the patriotic stuffs are put on display.
We went through the side gate. This place has four main gates, ie: North, South, East, West.
We woke up like 6am (OMG~!, havn't done that since Secondary School) in the morning and heading towards our first destination of the day, Court of Indepedence 〈自由广场〉. This is where all the patriotic stuffs are put on display.
We went through the side gate. This place has four main gates, ie: North, South, East, West.But I forgot which gate went into. The design of this building mimics the Ancient Chinese Architecture. A modern place with a nostalgic touch.
On the wall are the successor for Father of Taiwan (Sun Yat Seng), Mr. Chiang Kai Shek (蒋) and his First Lady who is equally influential and powerful as her hubby. As the saying goes, "Behind every successful man lies a powerful woman."
We end our tour in 自由广场 with a nice view. On both of the side are the opera house and musical hall that is on renovation. It is really the old in the new.
On the way towards Dan Shui (淡水), i saw how Taiwanese can used up every corner of the building for Advertisment. I don't think American's Billboard is better than this. Taiwanese are quite good at optimization.
Dan Shui (淡水) is considered a fisherman village. The sea is their life line. Similar to Dan Shui, many of Taiwan Cities is either situated near the sea or beside vast mountains.
In the city of Dan Shui (淡水), they do have their famous local delicacies. One of it is this thing called Ah Gei (阿给). Despite my gutz telling me not, I bought one and tried it. It is a big round Toufu (soy bean cake), with Bee Hoon Noodle in it and covered with fish meat. The whole thing is seasoned with some sort of similarity to spicy, sweet and sour sause. In brief, extra ordinary.
Another must buy delicacy of Dan Shui are these black egg also known as Steel Egg (铁蛋). They have many different flavours. Considerably cheap and worth a taste. I think you can only find this only in Taiwan.
After shopping in Dan Shui, the bus took us up hill to a historical small town called Jiu Fen (九份). There is a pretty interesing story on how this town's name came to be. Find it out for urself. Haha..Ok, Jiu Fen is also the scene for one of the famous Taiwan movie, "A City of Sadness《悲情城市》" Along this street, its like a Pasar Malam on the mountain. A lot of weird this can be found here.
Including one of these, Octopus Meat + Squid Black Ink Sausage. Sounds awful but taste kinda nice if you do not imagine the ink which is within the sausage. Recommended to try but not as a souvenier.
In of the stores, you can find this amazing thing called Ocarina (陶笛). It the pottery version of flute. One of it range from 200 to 1000 Taiwan Dollar which is RM 20++ to RM 100++. Me and my brother got one of these. Pretty cute and ideal for gifts. But be caution when you do your bag packing as it can break easily.
What can be more amazing is to find seafood in the mountains. These are barbeque sea snails. I strongly encourage you to try even though i didn't try one.
This guy is one of the surviving chinese culture artist. He makes traditional name stamps (古代印章) which China Emperors used when Governing Ancient China. In Taiwan, these name stamps have be registered for it to be valid. People in Taiwan still prefer to use the name stamps for official documents. For more info, visit this website.
Taiwan is rich in Chinese Culture and are pretty good in putting the old touch in the modern. Like this label for women's toilet. People who dun recognize Chinese Character is in for a nice trip. Especially for guyz.
This one is for men. These two toilets does not have any doors. So, it will be nice experience to visit these washrooms.
Day 2 ends with a dinner at one of the farm which serves local dishes including one of these. If you are Malaysian, you most probably will not like the taste. This nice looking little things are Chicken Stock which is solidified and fried. One word, yuck~!!!
