Taiwan Trip Day 4- Yang Ming San & Beitou

Its day 4 of our Taiwan trip and today, we are heading to Yang Ming San and Bei Tou

But before heading out, we stopped by at Fu Hang Dou Jiang

Check out the line queing up for this... no joke...

line in front of us



The line behind us

More Q after entering the building



After 1 and a half hour, we get what we came for





Boy the wait was worth waiting for.. all the snacks were awesome...and the salted 'Dou Jiang', it taste a bit like Chawamushi that you get in Japanese restaurants.

I just wonder if the queue is like this every single day.

And when we went back to that area 2 days later, .... YES, the queue is like that every single day....


After a sumptuous breafast, we head out to yang Ming San.

We went to Taipei Main Station and took a bus there.

The journey took quite a while..

Here are some shots at Yang Ming San










To be honest, there is nothing much here but for flowers, and plants...

The weather was great for a moment until the wind became too strong and rain poured down.

Once we were drenched, my gf started to feel sick...

So , we decided to head down the mountain.

The fog was to strong anyway... I can't even see anything 5 m ahead from me....  :(


Luckily, our next destination offers relaxation.

So, we took a bus to Shillin MRT and trasnfer to Bei Tou and then Xin Bei Tou.

We were there for 2 reasons, Ramen and Hot Spring.

So immediately, we went to this famous ramen restaurant.


Original Flavour

Seafood ramen

Miso based Ramen

Hot spring egg

Hot sping tofu


I forgot the name of this ramen restaurant. (maybe you can see from one of the pic)

The ramen was super delicious because we were too hungry and the hot soup tasted so great because of the rainy weather that we had to endure all afternoon.


After the meal, we look for a place for hot spring.

At Xin Bei Tou, there are many hot spring to choose from.

There are these hot spring hotels that you can stay based on hour.

They have packages that you can choose..

Because we didn't want to go to public hot spring where we have to be virtually naked, we rented a room.

Room comes with bed like a standard hotel



Hot spring enough room for 2


Enjoy a cup of teas after hot spring

man... the hot spring was really useful to recharge our body and mind from tiredness that we accumulated from walking so much at Yang Ming San.

Unfortunately, we couldn't experience those really authentic hot spring where we can enjoy the hot spring outdoors while looking into a beautiful scenery..

maybe next time...  :)


After checking out from the hotel, we headed back to Taipei and met Jinz''s friend and have 'Ma La' Steamboat at Xi Men Ding


That is it for Day 4....

cheers,


Yours sincerely,
