Taiwan 30Dec2015 to 03Jan2016 - Day 4 and 5



Checked out from hotel and we took the HSR to Taipei. This time we took the business class, NT1000. The experience is good. We are served with a drink and a small cake. Leg room.


Hotel Puri is located at XiMen station exit 6, about 3 minutes walk away. We left our luggage at the hotel and we head for the steamboat buffet 瘋麻辣頂級鴛鴦麻辣火鍋 at the street behind the hotel.  NT700 per pax on a weekend.









 
 






We took the MRT to Xinbeitou, follow the signboard to walked toward thermal valley. That spot is relatively small and there are a lot of people. The steam constantly rises from the water and makes the place misty.


















We walked around to look for place that has hot spring bath in an enclosed room. It cost NT720 for 1 hour, it is a small living room with a tv and a separate toilet where the bath tub is.











After the hot spring bathe, we took the MRT to Jiantan Station (劍潭) which is a number of stops away. Shilin Night Market is nearby, we reached there before 5pm the place is not packed with people, some stall just start preparing to open. We walked for a while and the place started to get crowded, we decide to go to Shida as my friend want to take a look at the clothes selling there for idea. We did not manage to any stuff there as the clothes are for winter not suitable for Singapore.




















Day 5
We went to Longshan temple and pray. As it was raining, I did not manage to capture any photo. As out flight is 3pm, we still have some time after visiting the temple, we went to Taipei main station and walked in the basement link way. Shin Kong Mitsukoshi open at 11am and we went straight to the food basement. I settle my lunch there. The teppanyaki is good and the portion is big.



Home sweet home.
