Taiwan Trip Day 5

Kenting National Park 墾丁國家公園 is in at the extreme southern tip of Taiwan. It is famous for its beautiful beaches and lush vegetation.

Kenting National Park is a national park located in the Hengchun Peninsula of Pingtung County, Taiwan, covering Hengchun, Checheng and Manjhou Townships. Established on January 1, 1984, it is Taiwan's oldest and southernmost national park, covering the southernmost area of the Taiwan island. Administered by the Executive Yuan's Ministry of the Interior, this national park is well-known for its tropical climate and sunshine, scenic mountain and beach, the Spring Scream rock-band festival held in every March, and has long been one of the most favorite resort places in Taiwan.

The park covers about 181 square kilometers of land, 152 square kilometers of sea, weighing in at 333 square kilometers combined. It is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Taiwan Strait and the Luzon Strait. The park is 90 km away from Kaohsiung, 140 km away from Tainan.

The landscape boasted by Kenting National Park is divided into two parts by the long and narrow Hengchun Longitudinal Valley Plain that extends from north to south. With coral sea cliffs teemed with fringing reefs along the west coast, the park features a large number of mountains in the north, and coral tablelands and foothills in the south. The plain, which is formed by fault valleys, has a vast lake called Longlyuantan, together with rising coral tablelands and limestone caves to the east. The east side of the coral tablelands features unique sand rivers and sand waterfalls formed by the combined effects of winds and rivers, as well as coral cliffs, sunken caves and stalactites.

Natural gas pit 出火特别景观区

There’s a natural gas “pipe” flowing underneath the ground and the gas would rise to ground level. Someone then lit it up with fire and since then, it has become an undying barbecued pit.

Hengchun (恆春鎮 literally Eternal Spring Town) of Pingtung County is the southernmost township in Taiwan. Hengchun is also the only urban township in the southern part of Pingtung County. Hengchun has a land area of 136.7630 square kilometers and has a population of 31,288 as of December 2007.

The city of Hengchun is the entry way to Kenting National Park, the southernmost National Park in the country. With pristine beaches and a vibrant tourist industry, the Hengchun area often attracts more travelers than local residents. The city itself was once completely surrounded by a city wall; now about half of the wall remains intact, as well as the four city gates. On weekends, the streets of nearby Kenting are filled with cars and tour buses.

The 2008 Taiwanese film Cape No. 7 海角七号, the top-grossing film in Taiwan's film history, features Hengchun.

Aga (阿嘉) house (in flim)

Cape No. 7 (海角七号) is a 2008 Taiwanese romance comedic music-drama film written and directed by Wei Te-Sheng, his first full-length motion picture. The film is in Taiwanese and Mandarin Chinese with significant lines in Japanese. Before its commercial release, the film was world premiered on June 20, 2008 at the 2008 Taipei Film Festival as the opening film. The film later won 3 awards in this festival.

Prior to this film, the two leading actors Van Fan (范逸臣) and Chie Tanaka 田中千絵 only had minor acting experience while some of the supporting roles were filled by non-actors. Even without a strong promotional campaign, the film had become so popular in Taiwan that on November 1, 2008 it became the 2nd top grossing film in the country's cinematic history, behind Titanic. The film has grossed over US$13,804,531 since its release.

The film has won 15 awards to date, including 6 at the 2008 Golden Horse Awards. It was also Taiwan's entry to compete in the 81st Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film, although it did not secure a nomination.

In the 1940s near the end of the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, an unnamed teacher (Kousuke Atari) dispatched to the southernmost town of Hengchun falls in love with a local girl with the Japanese name Kojima Tomoko (Rachel Liang). After the Surrender of Japan, the teacher is forced to return home as the Chinese occupation of Taiwan resumed. On his trip home, he pens seven love letters to express his regret for leaving Kojima Tomoko, who originally planned to elope with him to Japan.

More than 60 years after the teacher left Kojima Tomoko, Aga (Van Fan) is introduced as a struggling young Hengchun-native rock band singer who could not find success in Taipei. After returning to his hometown, Aga's step father (Ju-Lung Ma), the Town Council Representative, arranged a position for him as a postman, replacing the aging Old Mao (Johnny C.J. Lin), on leave after a motorcycle accident broke his leg. One day, Aga comes across an undeliverable piece of mail that was supposed to be returned to the sender; the daughter of the now deceased Japanese teacher has decided to mail the unsent love letters to Taiwan after discovering them. Aga unlawfully keeps and opens the package to discover its contents, but the old Japanese-style address Cape No. 7, Kōshun District, Takao Prefecture can no longer be found.

Meantime a local resort hotel inside Kenting National Park is organizing a beach concert featuring Japanese pop singer Kousuke Atari, but Aga's step father makes use of his official position to insist that the opening band be composed of locals. Tomoko (Chie Tanaka), an over-the-hill Mandarin-speaking Japanese fashion model dispatched to Hengchun, is assigned the difficult task of managing this hastily assembled band, led by Aga along with six other locals of rather particular backgrounds. After a frustrating trial period, Aga and Tomoko unexpectedly begin a relationship. With some assistance from hotel maid Mingchu (Shino Lin), who is revealed to be Kojima Tomoko's granddaughter, Tomoko helps Aga find the rightful recipient of the seven love letters. Tomoko then tells Aga that she plans on returning to Japan after the concert because of a job offer. After returning the seven love letters, a heartbroken but determined Aga returns to the beach resort and performs a highly successful concert with his local band alongside Kousuke Atari, during which Tomoko read the seven love letters composed 60 years ago.

My passport!!haha

on the way to Guanshan 关山.

Next stop was a hill called Guanshan 关山, where if its a clear day, one could see awesome sunset. The hill was practically full with people.

Kenting is a really nice place to visit despite has little to offer especially if you don’t like to swim or surf. However, the moment we were at high ground, looking at clear blue sky, sandy beaches and turquoise sea water, the feeling was exceptionally good, as if you were at the top of the world. For this particular view, it was worth spending extra money to go Kenting.

Night market at Kenting.

马拉桑(MaLaSun)是什么意思呢？“马拉桑”(MaLaSun)是台湾原住民话，意思是喝酒醉、喝高了的意思.

“马拉桑”为台湾省少数民族语言中的“喝醉啦”的意思。本域名注册是缘于台语的阿美族的口头常用语 “马拉桑”（英文为MaLaSun 或 Ma La Sun），“马拉桑”此后又被引申在电影《海角七号》做一款小米酒的名称.

巧合的是，2008年台湾本土电影《海角七号》出现小米酒制造商也叫“马拉桑” （马拉桑小米酒-其广告语：千年传统，全新感受），片中的马拉桑小米酒销售员“马拉桑先生”成为全台“超级业务员”的最佳典范，“马拉桑”锲而不舍的行销精神值得每个业务销售人员学习！

Taiwan Trip Day 3

Is Day 3 today, wake up, have a coffee, checking mail, facebook....then decide where to go....

at 阿羅住宿接待家庭Holo Family House.

out 阿羅住宿接待家庭Holo Family House.

then walk out to Taipei main station. Looking for something to eat, and we found this and sit down and eat lo....

NT55 per plate

Fish ball with sup. Nice!

A bit like what we eat in Malaysia call "福州鱼丸", but this tasted better.

see the picture below, you know where i go right?

Yes, is Taipei 101. Taipei 101 (台北101 / 臺北101), also known as the Taipei Financial Center, is a landmark skyscraper located in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan. The building became the world's tallest skyscraper upon its completion in 2004. as certified by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. Taipei 101, designed by C.Y. Lee & Partners and constructed primarily by KTRT Joint Venture and Samsung Engineering & Construction received the 2004 Emporis Skyscraper Award and was hailed as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World (Newsweek magazine, 2006) and Seven Wonders of Engineering (Discovery Channel, 2005). The tower is an icon of modern Taiwan. Fireworks launched from Taipei 101 feature prominently in international New Year's Eve broadcasts and the structure appears frequently in travel literature and international media.

Taipei 101 comprises 101 floors above ground and 5 floors underground. The name of the tower (pronounced "one oh one" in English) reflects its floor count and carries symbolic meanings alluding to technology and Asian tradition. Its postmodernist approach to style incorporates traditional design elements and gives them modern treatments. The tower is designed to withstand typhoons and earthquakes. A multi-level shopping mall adjoining the tower houses hundreds of fashionable stores, restaurants and clubs.

Taipei 101 is owned by the Taipei Financial Center Corporation (TFCC) and managed by the International division of Urban Retail Properties Corporation based in Chicago. The name originally planned for the building, Taipei World Financial Center, was derived from the name of the owner. The original name in Chinese was literally, Taipei International Financial Center (臺北國際金融中心).

Taipei 101 was overtaken in height on 2007 July 21 by the Burj Dubai in Dubai, UAE, upon completion of the Burj's 141st floor. Taipei 101 retains the title of "world's tallest building", however, as international architectural standards define a "building" as a completed structure capable of being occupied. The Burj Dubai is expected to reach completion in January 2010. Taipei 101 is likely to retain the title of the Asia-Pacific region's tallest skyscraper until 2014, when its height will be surpassed by the Lotte Super Tower 123 in Seoul, South Korea.

Some view from 101

Inside, there have an exhibition / information centre. Its just a little bit like Pusat Sains in KLCC, Malaysia.

Some deco made from coral

Ground floor of 101, a place to eat n drink.

similar as KLCC Malaysia.

Houshanpi Station後山埤站. We goin to Wufenpu Commercial Zone 五分埔商圈

Wufenpu五分埔 is one of the largest clothing markets in Taipei. One can also take the Bannan line to Houshanpi station後山埤站 and go out Exit 4. The market is a five-minute walk from the station along YongJi Road.

Although the market is definitely not a high-fashion zone, it offers the latest street fashions for a fraction of the cost found elsewhere, with many items priced at less than NT$500. Bulk buying generally yields a discount.

Other than fashion, you can find a great variety of food and snacks too, and this make me stop here.

This is what i eat 招牌面. You should try one is you have a chance to go there, but remember put more chilies on it.

Wufenpu is open for 7 days a week and most of the shops start business at around noon and close after mid-night but on Sunday they will close around 9pm. Avoid going there on a Monday because it is reserved for wholesalers. You can still go but service might not be as good as usual.

洪师傅牛肉面

三锅温火慢炖的牛肉汤, 两双煮面的竹筷子, 一个主厨 “洪师傅”。这便是台湾旅游的“形象代表”。主厨“洪师父”名叫洪金龙，是2007年“台北牛肉面节”红烧、清炖的双料冠军。洪金龙希望以自己的看家本领吸引更多大陆游客赴台湾旅游，并品尝最具特色的宝岛美食牛肉面。

“洪师父”制作牛肉面的工序＋分复杂：精选的牛小排要得薄如纸张，烧烤到五分熟再下锅；而姆指大小的牛腱肉，则要事先秘制炖烂，再融入面汤……据介绍，“洪师父” 的一碗小小牛肉面，从台北到最南端的屏东潮州牛肉街，到古城台南的永乐市场，到台中、新竹等城市的小街、客栈，再到台北的都会酒店、夜市排挡……牛肉面的“形象代表”以及各色牛肉面的招牌时时闯入人们的视线。台湾观光学院校长、台湾著名美食专家李铭辉教授说：“牛肉面也是体现两岸血脉深情的最好载体。”

据介绍，台湾旅游“形象代表”牛肉面源自大陆。是当年渡海来台的老兵因思念家乡而发明的特殊饮食。李教授说：“细细品来，牛肉面可以说汇集了中华美食精华，比如上海菜的红烧，广东菜的煲汤，还有四川菜的辛辣味等。哪里来的师傅就把哪里的口味融进了牛肉面。”

“可以想象，在那个年代，捧着一碗精心烹煮的牛肉面，犹如同捧着一份浓浓的乡愁，几多悲欢沧桑都蕴含其中了。”李铬辉说，“因此牛肉面在台湾是特有的人缘。”

2007年牛肉面节比赛-红烧冠军的独当一面

据介绍，台湾牛肉面在口味上，大致也可分为“红烧”与“清炖”两大系，但正是因为其制作灵感“来自三江五湖、大江南北”，因此味道并没有固定程式，可谓“万店不同味”从20元人民币左右的廉价快餐，到几千元一小碗的“顶级面”、“超级面”，牛肉面文化以多变的姿态满足了不同消费者的需求。

Give them a good comment on the board!

After dinner, shopping at K-Mall.

...and bought myself a Sandisk Extreme CF card, 60MB's..wow

Taiwan Trip Day 2

I stay in this building, level 22..haha

The MRT station just opposite the building.

Inside MRT station

There have many shop inside the station.

Arrive Longshan Temple Station.

A long q to buy the chicken rice

Market near Longshan Temple.

Ha, this is the real 猪头....my blog tak halal la.....lol

Well known Longshan Temple (龍山寺) in Taipei.

It was built in 1738 by settlers from Fujian, China. It served as a place of worship and a gathering place for the Chinese settlers. The temple has been destroyed either in full or in part on numerous earthquakes and fires.

During World War II, on 31 May 1945 it was hit by American bombers during the Raid on Taipei, who claimed the Japanese were hiding armaments inside. The main building and the left corridor were damaged and many precious artifacts and artworks were lost in the ensuing fire.

Taipei residents have nevertheless consistently rebuilt and renovated it, and did so again after the end of the Second World War a few months later. Longshan is seen as an emblematic example of Taiwanese classical architecture, with southern Chinese influences commonly seen in older buildings.

Like most temples in Taiwan, the Temple worships a mixture of Buddhist, Taoist, and folk deities such as Matsu.

Ximen Station is located between the Zhongzheng District and Wanhua District in Taipei City, Taiwan. It is a major transfer station on the Nangang Line, Banqiao Line, Xindian Line, and Songshan Line.

Ximending is a neighborhood in the Wanhua District of Taipei, Taiwan. The historical spelling of this area was Hsimenting, which is based on the Wade-Giles romanization of Mandarin Chinese. The use of the character 町 (chō) is unusual in a Chinese context; It is part of a ward in the Japanese municipality system.

Ximending in Taiwan usually refers to Ximending in Wanhua District, Taipei City. This area is in the northeastern part of Wanhua District in Taipei City and it is also the most important consumer district in the Western District of Taipei. The well-known Ximending Pedestrian Area was the first pedestrian area built in Taipei and is the largest in Taiwan. Ximending generally refers to the area surrounded by Zhonghua Road, Kangding Road, Hankou Street, and Chengdu Road.

Ximending attracts an average of over 3 million shoppers per month. It has been called the "Harajuku" of Taipei. The local bookstores sell Japanese magazines, books, CD albums, and clothing, making it a haven for the "Harizu", or Japanese culture adorers. Individual vendors gather in the streets as well as the large business buildings, such as Wannien Department Store and Shizilin Square in the early days, and Wanguo Department Store and Eslite 116 in the later period.

Due to the density of young people, Ximending is comparable to Shilin Market and the Eastern District to be areas with the highest crime rates. In addition, Ximending is well-known for student prostitution.

Duck noodle restaurant at Ximen. just at the conner of the street (find yourself)

Have a try of this duck meat....

and of course the noodle

at the opposide side, there have history building, name "The Red House"西門紅樓. Its about 1-min walking distance after taking the Bannan Line (blue) MRT-Ximen Station No. 1 Exit

The Red House 西門紅樓, a Western-style red-brick octagonal structure in Taipei's Ximen space built in 1908, is Taiwan's first public market and the most well preserved class III historical site. Designed by Kondo Juro, a western-styled architect in the prefectural civil engineering office at the time, the market entrance, incorporating both octagonal and cruciform shapes, was paralleled by no other in the east and west. The market entrance also took on the ‘eight trigrams (bgaua) design considered boldly creative then. Octagon Building, Cruciform Building, and the adjacent South-North Square are now collectively known as ‘The Red House.’

Today the main floor houses the comfortable Paperwindmill Cafe and an exhibition area and gift shop given over to Taiwan's cultural goods. The ambience of the first story is heightened by historical memorabilia of the Red Theater as well as of Taiwan's movie-making industry. The second level is an attractive 200-seat venue devoted to traditional folk performances, particularly puppetry and children's theater. The impressive recessed ceiling is held up by hefty timber support beams original to the building. During weekends, booths selling creative handmade products gather around Red House. On Sundays afternoons, Sunday Teahouse is held, when classical movies or traditional plays are presented, and tea is served by attendants liveried in 1950s.

The Red Theater

OK, this is the next station i stop, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall 中正紀念堂

The National Concert Hall covers 40,950 square feet of space. Behind the stage is a huge Flentrop organ custom made in Holland to accommodate the proportions of this auditorium and to produce the best sound possible. There is one large area for audiences to sit as well as two levels of box seats. A capacity crowd of 2,070 people can gather here.

The Recital Hall in the basement of the National Concert Hall is small, but its sound quality is the best in the whole complex due to the fact that hardly any noise from outside can reach it. A maximum of 363 people can be seated here.

The National Concert Hall opens daily from 12noon to 9pm.

Ceremonial gateway at the entrance to the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial

The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Park is opened in 1987, containing not only the memorial but also the National Concert Hall and the National Theater. The park covers a space of 24 hectares, with a wide open plaza. It is surrounded by a long white wall topped with small blue tiled roof forming a long hallway which wraps around the park. Outside the wall is a sidewalk.

The architecture of the memorial itself is modeled after the pyramid-like top of Tiantan in Peking. Its massive blue-tiled roof is capped with a golden peak on top, producing a majestic appearance. Inside the memorial, a ground-level library displays photos and mementos of the late president's life. The plaza in front of the memorial is often used for large scale shows, fairs, public activities and folk performances. International groups also frequently perform here.

The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is located in Taipei City's Chungshan South Road. Visitors can take the Danshui-Xindian (Tamshui-Hsintien) Line or the Beitou-Nanshi Jiao (Peitou-Nanshih Chiao) Line of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network, and get off at the CKS Memorial Hall Station.

The stage of the National Theater has two pits in the foreground for orchestras of up to 30-40 musicians. It is extremely well suited for musical shows, opera, ballet and modern dance. The first floor consists of a large area for the audience to be seated, and there are box seats available on the first, second and third floors. Altogether a capacity crowd of 1,522 people can gather here to enjoy concerts.

At the reception desk on the first floor, programs of the day's shows can be purchased. Also, by signing your name here, you can wait at the theater entrances and exits to observe the actors come on and off the stage. Tour guide services are also provided here, and there is a restaurant and gift shop for visitors as well.

On the third floor of the National Theater is the Experimental Theater which opened in 1988. In addition to large scale productions, smaller acting groups often put on productions here, and it may also be used for lectures or acting workshops. There is no formal stage as such -- the areas where the play is put on and the audience sits may be adjusted according to the tastes of each group. Because of this members of the audience can often sit wherever they want in the theater as there are no formal seats either.

The National Theater opens daily from 12noon to 8pm.

The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a famous monument erected in memory of Chiang Kai-shek (蔣中正先生), former President of the Republic of China. It is located in Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China.

The monument, surrounded by a park, stands at the east end of the Gate of Great Centrality and Perfect Uprightness. The structure is framed on the north and south by the National Theater and National Concert Hall. The entire plaza is located within sight of the Presidential Office Building.

The main vault of the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall contains a statue of President Chiang Kai-shek.

Beitou 北投區, is the next station. Its a northern district of Tapei famous for its hot springs.

Beitou Hot Springs Museum: Built during the Japanese occupation, this beautiful Euro-Japanese style building was once the main public bath in Beitou. It has been lovingly restored and was re-opened in its current form in 1998. Through the twelve rooms, the story of Beitou's romantic years of steam and mystery are revealed in interesting displays. The museum is located in Qinshui Park.

Danshui station 淡水. Looking for bus to Danshui Fisherman's Wharf (淡水漁人碼頭).

Finally, arrive Danshui Fisherman's Wharf (淡水漁人碼頭).

Danshui Fisherman's Wharf (淡水漁人碼頭) is located further downstream from the town itself and offers a boardwalk, chic coffee shops, a slightly pricey seafood restaurant, and is a departure point for tourist boats traveling along Taiwan's scenic northeast coast. The "Lover's Bridge", a single slanted tower cable stay pedestrian bridge, that is modeled after a sailing ship's mast and rigging, spans the harbor. The bridge's illumination changes color at night, making this area a favorite with local couples and romantics, and is also a popular site for shooting Taiwanese drama serials. Outdoor concerts are sometimes held in the amphitheater.

The Shilin Night Market 士林夜市

The Shilin Night Market 士林夜市 is a night market in the Shilin District of Taipei City, Taiwan, often considered to be the largest and most famous night market in the city.
