Taiwan Day 11 - Sun Moon Lake

ok I need to quickly blog my entire trip, because it is almost a year soon since this trip! LOL. opps. So anyway, day 11, where were we? Oh still at Taichung, up the cooling mountain, easily one of my favourite place. We were quite silly so to speak because we didn't really thought of the long uphill journey if not actually today should be the day we downhill to Sun Moon Lake and stayed somewhere downhill for a night before heading back to Taipei. BUT, instead we actually have to downhill and uphill again to go back to our resort and early morning downhill again to Taipei. Thats why I said, we stayed abit too long at Cing Jing. SO anyway, according to many reviews, this is the must-go place in Taichung. So, we actually book with our hotel to drive us to Sun Moon Lake together with some other travellers who are going downhill as well. Paid NT200/300 for one way down and the driver brought us to the Jetty. Took the boat at NT250? to tour around the Lake with some pit stop that has no limit time for you to roam around as long as you remember the last boat timing. 

the boat that fetch you around the Lake


First Stop





And my sister make me climb this crazy stairs when the weather is so freaking hot. I sweat like a suckling pig in the oven baking. 

and we end up here.... nothing much to see...

The view is good thou



They say this is a must try herbal tea egg because it is different from the normal tea eggs that we had, sure enough! It really taste quite good! 


Second stop


Ignore my stupid face. LOL. my sister just took a candid of me with closing eyes... better skills for candid shot next time! I miss my skin color thou! 

Couldnt take the heat and I needed some ice drink. Must try Red Tea when you're here!My sexy tanned legs......LOL


THIS IS THE BOMB! I swear this is damn nice. Doesn't look like the muah chee we always buy at Pasar Malam right?! This is really awesome. 

Cable car time!




Heading to this cultural village which cost about few hundred NT with the theme park entrance ticket.




Of course, we headed to the theme park first! 


I didn't play this because I just had Red Tea and muah Chee... didn't want to puke and shame myself.


This roller coaster is not bad.


Did I not mention that my sister and I are fans of roller coasters? She is more thrilling than me thou, with certain rides that I don't do and she does. 


Into the Kiddy park

What if this is a real ride? hmmmmm



and this is stupid... we got cheated by the description.



And something caught our eyes........


Pirates?? Water??

Such huge body dryer....... Wet rides coming the way!!!



HERE WE GO!

SPLASH!!! THIS IS AWESOME... we got the raincoat thou but still wet. hahah

Caught the last show of this cultural performance










Time to head back to the Jetty because we agreed to the driver that he should be picking us up around 530pm and the boat ride needs about 15mins?


My sister bought this to eat but I wasn't really feeling that hungry so didnt catch my dinner... she eat along the way back to Jetty with at least two to three food stalls that she patronised. Ended our trip caught in the rain while waiting for our driver and apparently he was so late that we had to wait for almost an hour and you know the journey back to the resort easily could take an hour or so which is super tiring and by the time we reach our room, I am already dead tired, had my rice roll and off to bed after packing our luggage. BACK TO MY FAVOURITE CITY OF TAIWAN!!
