Day 6..

阜杭豆漿(Fu-Hang Dou Jiang) -> 龍山寺(LongShanSi) -> Taipei City Hall(Taipei 101) -> 東區地下大街(East Metro Mall) -> 士林夜市(Shinlin Night Market)


華山市場(Huashan Market)
How to go: Take the Blue Line to Shandao Temple Station. At exit 5, the Huashan Market Building is on your right or you can take a lift just walk straight and turn right..
Operating Hours: 5:30 am to 10:30 am daily

I believe they under go some renovation..The enivornment and cleaningness were good..
Air-condition..If you wanted to try out the local breakfast, yes thats the best place..
Try to go down early as when we reached, people were already queuing up..
And the line never stop (on-going), when we leave the place..





龍山寺
Next we went the LongShanShi, the famous temple in taipei..
wow..once again! Hot sun!!~ ahhhhhhhhhhh~~~
When we reached there were some ceremony going on..quite a number of people in there praying..
so we just quietly walk in without disturbing them..



After that we head down to taipei 101...

市政府站(Taipei City Hall) , 台北101(Taipei 101)
How to go: Shuttle service to 101 is located at Exit 3 on the right side is a string of bus stops. One shows the 101 sign..but I believe there is a number of public bus heading there..

Reached at around 11am, with the youth travel card..we manage to get the ticket at a price of NT350..=)
Sad to hear that level 91 was closed due to the strong wind..~~~
* I dont believe that there is strong wind~~!!! Strong wind in this sunny day?! Nooooo~~


But Level 89 the gallary area was quite inpressive..
Looking down at the whole taipei from level 89!...
Everything seems sooo small and tiny..


Oh ya..Remember to exchange this communicate device at level 89 before walking around in the gallary..Its a mobile like kind of device..so everywhere corner you go there is this number for you to press..different area have different explaination and different sights to be seen..=)




Some of the scenary from level 89..



After that we head down to level 88..you need to go through this "tunnel"..
quite cool as you will be stepping on the bird eyes view (google map of taiwan)..
Whenever you step the cloud will disappear and now you can see the mainland!! =)


Photobucket


The world largest tuned mass damper..
Purpose is to stabilize the building during any earthquakes or typhoon..
Damn huge so take a few picture and each of us choose one of the "taipei 101 doll" to take a picture with it..
There is actually 4 of it...the one that we didnt took was a silver colour "taipei 1010 doll"..



Its lunch time again..so we went back to NYNY (New York New York) to have lunch..
NYNY reminds me of daomingsi and shancai~~ LOL!
There is alot of resturant/food counts located at basement one of the shopping mall.

Out of all there is only this store with crowd standing/sitting down waiting to be seated..
Waited for 20min and we get our table..The atmosphere there was nice and comfortable..very cosy..

Resturant: "Cafe Grazie" lcoated at NYNY
Link: http://www.grazie.com.tw/


They sell pasta/bake rice/pizza..more of a italian resturant..
We get ourself a set meal..it comes together with a soup,side dish, main course and drink..
Each person spend around NT300..
We wrote a feedback form..cause we ask for the drink to be serve..but the poor guy who is alone at the bar have to do up all the drinks in the resturant..lol..Peck fiona and me keep on staring and commenting on this poor guy..
In the end after everything was cleared, they serve us the drink..like "finally" but fiona and me was toooooo full to finish it..aiyoyo..

Can anybody share with me where is the best place and how to take the whole taipei 101?
Due to the hot weather we have no energy to go any futher to have the shoot with taipei 101..
So I internally lie down on the floor to take the wholee building in front of the taipei 101 door step..LOL!! Dont ever dare to turn area to see who is looking..as there is lots of tour group wondering area.. soo this is how we manage to take it (the person and the building)..



Next we went to dongqu...All along we have been singing "Don't Cha" but in Jackey Wu's version..
東區~~~

東區地下大街(East Metro Mall)
How to go: Between 忠孝復興 and 忠孝敦化 MRT stations..

Its quite fun to shop here..a underground mall with shoes/clothes at a damn cheap prices..hehe!! I believe its something like city link in singapore but the items there were soo much cheaper and clothes are all fashionable..

Night time we went to Shilin Night Market for more shopping and food!!~

士林夜市(Shilin Night Market)
How to go: 於淡水線劍潭站下車..Drop at Jiantan station and just right in front there are vendor selling food and soo..The easier way is just follow the crowd..

We bought too much stuff..In the end we have to head back to hotel due to the amount of stuff we had bought...but never mind we will come back again..=)
