Continuing my Taiwan Trip...
We left our minsu at around 9:30 am...
Continuing my Taiwan Trip...
We left our minsu at around 9:30 am...
Since public transport in Hualian is not that frequent or convenient...
We decided to walk...
We followed Google Maps...
This place is so pretty...
Somewhere Google Maps brought us to... lol
and another one...
I think we walked for about 30 minutes...
Our first stop today is Qing Seminary 吉安慶修院
Entrance fee is NT30 per person
Actually it is a NT30 shopping voucher... imo
Some information about the place... Hubby did explain to me but I did not remember it...
We went over to the shop...
Bath salt... Hmm...
These cost NT15 each and we bought these just for the sake of using the vouchers...
It cost NT80...
With the voucher, we had to pay NT50
I had always wanted to do this...
I saw these in animes and comics a lot when I was younger...
hmm... for praying and wishing for good luck...
Very serious one...
Time to leave...
We saw a bus when we were on the opposite side of the road and got on...
Time to rest a little and...
Liyu Lake is next!
Cost: NT60 per person
The bus was not frequent...
It is not as convenient in Hualian to depend on public transport...
To be completely honest....
There was nothing much there...
The view was great... but that was about it...
We had to wait for the next bus to come and there was nothing for us to do...
I did not feel like cycling here...
We were here just to see the lake and take lots and lots of pictures... lol
Nope, I am not frustrated because I have nothing else to do...
Not a lot of people were there so it is so easy to take nice pictures without removing the crowd... lol
We went on weekday so maybe that was why it was so empty...
Finally the bus came...
We took the bus to Hualian Sugar Factory
It cost NT286 for 2 person...
We paid NT300 because we did not have the exact amount and no change is given...
It took about an hour to reach...
The cheapest room cost NT2190 per night
It is Japanese theme
Just joking... Posing for fun :)
We walked over to the main area...
We decided to have lunch just because there was nothing much to do and see here...
Oh god... Today must be the most boring day of all...
I like dumplings!
The taste is not bad actually but it is quite pricey...
Next...
So...
It is quite sweet :)
Nothing to scream about to be honest.
The price is a little steep for an ice cream...
We left the place after one hour...
We went to the nearest train station, Guangfu Station
The wind was quite strong that day...
That was why my hair was in such a mess... lol
We walked to the night market again...
We were too early this time...
We arrived at 4:30pm
We waited at the 7-eleven nearby...
It was a little too sweet but it was so NICE!
At 5 pm sharp we went in to look for food!
Super hungry...
NT20 each
We went out of control! lol
We wanted to buy the famous coffin bread but it was closed on the day...
Since we have no other choice...
To be honest it is actually quite similar to the famous coffin bread...
Hubby like this better... I prefer the pepper chicken flavour more...
The bread is actually the same to me...
I like it too!
Hubby ordered a yam milk from the famous fruit juice stall for NT50
We forgot to take a picture of it... but hubby hates it!
We went back to our minsu to take our luggage to move to another minsu...
The minsu lady helped us call a taxi (cost us NT100) to get there...
Our stay at Hualian was pretty hectic as we move around too much...
Mainly because I wanted to stay at Bayview Hotel and the current minsu was fully booked...
We should have planned earlier...
Off we go to our last minsu in Hualian!
Hualian 11 (眺望云海) website here!
NT1000 per night (weekday)
Standard Double Room
The bed and blanket was a little damp... Other than that, it was fine.
Overall, the place is quite nice for the price...
Other than the damp blanket and bed, everything else was fine...
The bathroom is clean...
After resting for a while, we went out to do our laundry.
It was more expensive than the one we tried in Taichung!
We spent a total of NT80 in Taichung...
We went for a walk while waiting...
Two packs of Lipton Milk Tea for NT35
Grape Tea was NT25
I like the grape tea but it was a little too sweet!
The milk tea was okay too :)
Once our clothes were dry, we went back to rest and do whatever we should and sleep...
Looking forward to go back to Taipei anf hopefully it will be better than today :)
Good Night!
