Taiwan trip 2019

Image
DAY 1: This is my 1st time to Taiwan. Super excited. We took the flight from Penang to Hong Kong via Cathay pacific (about 4 hours), and from Hong Kong to Taiwan (about 2 hours). We went to airport at 5am, and reach Taiwan around 4pm. Upon arrival at Taiwan, we were pick up by our Taiwan tour guide. The bus took us to National Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall.

Now it is time for some food hunt. We were brought to Raohe St. night market. Location:  https://goo.gl/maps/tAD67fvMamz . Before we head to the night market, we walk around the temple next to the night market for toilet. So much to eat here and we just bought what ever we can and eat. DAY 2: After 2 hours walk, we back to hotel and check-in. Next day, we went to Yehliu Geopark. Location:  https://goo.gl/maps/CddPtzqtZy
