Taiwan Trip Day 5 to Feng Jia Night Market

 Last stop of the day to Feng jia night market. 

 Look at the huge advertisement board :O Just the look of it made me craved for waffle ice-cream. So advertisement do work HAHA

I love to shop in the shop houses area :D Perhaps Singapore doesn't have much shop houses to shop around with that is the reason why I love shopping around shop houses and night market to get cheap deals :D

The tour guide told us that Nautou popular food is stinky tofu. So he brought us to this famous store selling stinky tofu. Mummy didn't want to try because she say it is awful but I force mummy to try haha.

It really taste good just like what the tour guide had say before, but the finish part when you swallow everything in you will smell this stinky smell. That's the only part I didn't like. It's a nice new experience :)

 I love this Royal cafe :D it is so so pretty. Everything look so pretty and delicious :) I wish Singapore have more of this cafe :(

The pinky shop of Royal cafe :D

 I love this chocolate cake :D I'm a chocolate lover :D


 I ask mummy to buy me ice-cream hehe. The ice cream is only 140yuan ($5) buy one get one free :O
140yuan ice cream inclusive of the choice of your ice cream which I chose chocolate espresso, waffle, marshmallow, oreo and macaroons. Awesome right?

Cutie white dog :) When I was young, I always wanted to have a white dog. But after knowing that the white fur will turn brown when it gets old, I cancel off this idea haha. I love cute and naughty birds now hehe :D

 Check-in to Yuan De Hotel at nantou :)

 Brought cute and sweet chocolate from Sophisca for B hehe

Brought this blouse at the night market. it wasn't that cheap from what I expected of the price if I brought clothes at the night market. This blouse cost me $14.

Brought a button up shirt for B at $24 only. So cheap!

Taiwan Trip Day 5 to Formosan Aboriginal Cultural Village

Our next stop was a tour around Nantou village, they are the one who is in charge of  the sun and moon lake attraction. They depend on tourist visiting their village the sun and moon lake to make a living and also on fishing. The village population is just 200 people, which consider very little.

As the government is very scare of decreasing population in the village or migration to another state of Taiwan, thus the government built Formosan Aboriginal Cultural Village, an attraction place for tourist to learn the culture heritage of Taiwan's 9 hill tribes, houses, living style and song - dance performance. Also, there have some rides for the kids and adult too.

 Spot my tour guide wearing dark blue polo shirt. He is paying for our admission ticket. 


 My sister huge hat blocking the my view

When we entered in, I was surprised why are there so many one-piece poster around. I was thinking there's even a theme for this mini amusement park? :D

These one-piece character straight away remind me of my BF. He's a fan of one-piece HAHA

Trying to copy the main character pose HAHA

 awwww all these characters are ardorable

 The map of the whole Culture Village plus mini amusement park. After looking at the map, I realise yes this whole village and mini amusement park have a theme and it is one- piece but what was the link here? why out of so many character they chose one-piece? 

Then after thinking for quite sometime I realise because the whole village depend on fishing and tourist visiting the sun and moon lake to earn an living.  That's is the reason why they use one-piece as their theme because of fishing and sea. Clever idea, istead of those common amusement park where they use cartoon character.

 Took a cable car to another place to watch a performance where they will introduced Taiwan's 9 hill tribes


 The overall look of the mini amusement park :D



We have reach the village performance place :)

 The introduction of Taiwan's 9 tribes

 The performance was really awesome. The speaker speak in Chinese and also did a translation of English too (Y)

 Huge fat owl :D

 The background is so pretty but mummy is lousy with using a phone to take photo so the picture always turn out blur :(

 The huge one-piece pirate ship :O 


 I want to try this ride! it seems so fun but I hate to get wet...

 'Splash'

 And when your boat reach here there will have a huge canon sound and it goes 'boom' water start splashing again haha. oh so fun~





Mummy is such a scaredy cat. I told her to try with me some of the rides but she told me she was scare :( So  in the end our first ride was an underground Jurassic park tour








 Forcefully drag mummy to ride with me on a merry go round :D can't believe my mummy is even afraid of a merry go round haha. I wonder when I'm old will I be such a scaredy cat like mummy haha.

Time to hop onto the horse :)




 Last ride of the day, the hot air balloon ride. It was such a pity that we only had 3 hours to walk around the place. I still have so many places I wanted to go :(
 I totally forget about the park outside the entrance :( It's magnificent, it has the USS feel

Wish I had more time so I could rain on this train to tour around the place :(
