Taiwan

This is my first time went to travel with my friends and we have chosen to go to travel in Taiwan. We have organised and planned the trip together and I think this is one of the interesting experience when travel with friends. We have planned to go four places in Taiwan. The first stop, we have get off the flight at Kaohsiung and then, we went to Kenting. After that, we travel from Kenting to Taichung and the last stop is at Taipei. During this trip. I can practice my Mandarin a lot and also it enhances our friendships.

1st stop: Kaohsiung

At Kaohsiung, we have went to Pier-2 Art Center and we have seen a lot of  modern art sculptures, decorated buildings and also galleries, etc. 

 I went to a nano block shop there and on above are the photos taken there. The last photo shows the nano blocks of the famous places in Taiwan and I think they look really cute. 

2nd stop: Kenting

At Kenting, we went to the Kenting Night Market at night. 

The rock behind me on the photos below is called the 'Sail Rock' and also named the 'Nixon's head'. I found it very interesting as you can see it looks like half of a human's head in the sea. 

3rd stop: Taichung

At Taichung, we have gone to Miyahara (Gong Yuan) eye clinic which is a place where they sell food with unique packaging ( I have bought some souvenirs there as well)  and there are a lot of visitors went there everyday. The reason it is called 'Miyahara eye clinic' is because it was built during the Japanese Occupation by a Japanese optometrist and it was the largest eye clinic at that time. 

At Gong Yuan eye clinic, they sell many unique flavours ice-cream as well with different toppings you can choose. You can see the ice cream photos on above and also the interior of the shop. It is my favourite place of this trip and I like how this place is very unique and how this building is full of history background.

4th stop: Taipei

At Taipei, we have went to one of the famous street night market named 'Shida Night Market'. There are a lot of restaurants, shops that sells clothes, jewelleries, etc. We have tried a lot of traditional Taiwan food there as well. 

We also went to the exhibition 'The Face of Leonardo' and there are 55 pieces of Leonardo's works from the Renaissance to the 20th century exhibited.
