The Beautiful Ah Mei Land and her Wonderful Lifesaving People - Part 4 -- Karaoke, Shop, Eat and Sceneries ............

Day 5
After our hearty breakfast, assembled at the front lobby, took some more pictures...

look at the beautiful scenery again and bid good bye ...

to this wonderful hot spring resort that we stayed for the night.........
We load up to this 'fantastic' bus that it is also a karaoke lounge, where many 'can sing' heroes & hidden talents were found....
As usual, we requested for our bus to stop for us to shop for Hualien specialty....
Food tasting.... eat what you want.... but be reasonable, do buy some...

the views along the coastal line was mesmerising.... you need to hold your breath..

Look, look, look, on your right, the view is beri beri ...chang


see, no bull shit, it's really, really, very, very beautiful....

Crossing one of the tunnel that was dug out manually by the locals during hard time..

Creek water are really blue....

en route to Tian Xiang...

This guy....'Me 2 sticks' in Hokkien

Admirers of Ah Huei...

Walk past this gate to De-stress yourself.... and be free

Walk past this one, then you will become the one and only..... also for your whole life you will only have 1 choice for everything you do.....

Sorry, forgot the name of this Pagoda....

Spiral staircase up to Heaven....

The world tallest 'Di Chan' Buddha standing at 36ft....... with wonderful mountain view at the back unlike other places where you see HDB flats and other commerical buildings....
NPY and PY missed this beautiful view as they are like grandmas ...cannot climb up the staircase leh...

Read the sign, it is really 36ft....
another high view looking at the Buddha statue...
Lunch time again with 10 big portion dishes with collagen... pig trotter..
Oi.... food finish...ask Leticia to come and clear the dishes..
and again, the girls won....
they ate so much and can't even grow fat.... unlike the lazy bird, keep complaining that she does not know how to tie meat dumpling.

After lunch, we continue our journey along the mountainous coastal line back to Taipei.
We stop at 'Chung De' after crossing the tunnel for some snap shots at the Pacific Ocean
Our karaoke bus also need a break too, after been terrorised by those kampong singers...

Pacific Ocean.......... here we are..

Wow, his mouth is open...........
What a wonderful moment for teamNUS...
At a stopover for toilet break at 'Nan Ao' train station...


mercy, mercy, she stand tall guarding us....

but everyone attention is on the food stall that sell Ice Cream wrap with peanuts candy and po piah skin.

back to Taipei Hero House......


'cheong' to another night market....
Ho ho ho, here I come, 闲杂人,走开,走开。。。。。。

This round 'Wufen pu' - 5 portion slope for the girls and the guys at 'Liaohe' night market...
all will meet up at 'liaohe'

'Liaohe' night market located near to 'songshan' train station is popular to the local for their unique pepper biscuits...

NAT queue for 30 minutes.....
They use lots of 3 star scallions which help to enhance the meat taste and flavours...
The one and only pepper biscuits stall, run by family members...

is just at the entrance and near to the temple

whilst NAT was queuing....

MT and me sneak to the nearby temple..
MT to prays, me to go inside and use their toilet, love their sparkling clean toilet, if only our public toilets are as clean as theirs...

beside the pepper biscuits, the kambing soup, the pork ribs soup are just as good, also the lor ba rice..

Q, Q, agar agar jelly.......


The famous ice kacang.... wonderful snow shaven ice....

we took the public train back....


from Song shan station....
Received a lot of nagging from the girls...they do not have enough time to do their apparel hunting at 'Wufenpu'...
Sorry, almost 11pm, need to go back and 'koon' and get ready for next day competiton at National Taiwan University...

That part 4, day 5.
