Had our breakfast at the same place. And, as planned, we went to 六福村主题乐园! As checked, we are required to transfer at 松山机场 Station and take bus 5350 over to 六福村主题乐园. When we alight at 松山机场, there's time in between, so we head over to 松山机场 and explore for a while. It's actually the airport in the city. So while waiting, why not explore for a while.
Took a bus ride of approximately an hour and we finally reach 六福村主题乐园! Actually, there's a stop in between, at 六福村, that's where you purchase the ticket for the amusement park.
Screaming Condor (笑傲飞鹰), spot me and TK
So after all those crazy rides I played, I'll say Screaming Condor (笑傲飞鹰) is the craziest one! At the speed of 109.4 km/h, height of 54.9 m, it's totally insane! But I still glad I played it, cause it's so damn fun and exciting! Just look at the video of Running man having their penalty!
Left the amusement park at 5 pm as the park is closing, and it's starting to get cold, super cold, freezing cold. Everyone, literally everyone, is shivering. The bus just seems like taking forever to arrive when we are freezing.
We then head to the night market at 龙山 Station, 華西街夜市, 廣州街夜市. 華西街夜市 is actually popular with snake meat, and indeed there's a few stores selling snake meat. If you're those who like to watch those dirty movies, 廣州街夜市 is the place for you! Cause they're selling pornography at a dirt cheap price like 8 discs for NT$100 (SGD$4.30)
Walked back to 西门, and meanwhile, we drop by carrefour for more snacks, cause we are hungry.
End of day 7.
十二月十五日，最后一天
So it's the last day of our Taiwan trip. Went back to 龙山寺 to give my votive offerings. Then we wander a little and we found a shop that sell 豆浆油条, we actually planned to have that for breakfast, but we just don't manage to see any. And today that we aren't finding, we found it! Grabbed our breakfast and we headed back to 西门 as we need to collect our luggage, but our kind host actually allow us to put our luggage a little longer. Bought our 太阳饼 from Vigor Kobo 維格餅家, and I personally will recommend this brand, cause theirs is Milk 太阳饼, and it's really delicious! Went back to room to pack and did some photo shoot while TK is in the toilet.
After packing, we head over to 中正紀念堂. Spent an hour and a half there before we head back to do our last minute packing.
Coincidentally, bumped into 阿正
after dk how many tries
2nd try, cause I got a hang of it already
Took High Speed Rail instead of a bus to the airport. We are almost running late for the flight, chuck down our food which we bought at the cafeteria in the transit. So rush for everything, but thank goodness we are still on time. Touched down at nearly 1 am.
With all these, that marks the end of my 8 days trip.
These 8 days made me learn more about my friends and also myself and not forgetting Taipei.
I'll definitely go back to Taiwan again, and my goal will be visiting Taipei once every two years!
Was roaming around 西门丁 looking for my local breakfast, and with the help with the locals, we found one at the back alley. The food is indeed delicious, and I don't mind having it everyday! Grabbed our breakfast and, we are heading to 北头 for hot spring! Got all our necessities ready, but the weather turn us off. I thought it'll be as cooling as usual, but then again, I was wrong. It turns out to be so warm, just like Singapore, just that it's not humid. As much as I don't like to warm, but I'm still glad we went to 北头 to visit the Thermal Valley. (Tips: Kindly bring a set of swim wear and towel and toiletries if you're going to hot spring, cause they do not provide any of this. Unless you want to purchase. You can try the outdoor hotspring, you'll pass by when you're heading up. It's NT$40 (SGD$1.80) per entry.)
Steam from Thermal Valley
Yes, they're clever. They wore jacket instead and I wore pullover.
The Metro station for the Thermal Valley
After visiting 北头, we took the Metro down to 淡水. Finally, we managed to find a place where we could cycle the U-bike in peace. With no heavy traffic and along the sea, admiring the pretty scenery. We did stop by a few places to take photos, and I would say the view is really very pretty. What's more, the natural lighting makes everything so pretty! Cycled for almost 4 hours, and it only cost us NT$70 (SGD$3). It's super cheap, I mean, you can't even rent a bike at $3 in Singapore! But we could rent one for 4 hours in Taiwan (first 30 minutes if free). Cycled from 淡水 Station to 情人桥 for sun set and back again. Everything is so worthwhile, even though at the end of the cycle, my ass numbed. (Too long never cycle) Actually, we can take a ferry from 淡水 Station to 情人桥, but what's the point. We don't enjoy the little things that's on land. (Tips: If you're an adventurous person like me, I'll definitely recommend to cycle down. You'll see a lot of Instagram worthy places which you can take photos at. There's also a route for bicycles only, so not much of a worry on traffic, just have to be careful of human traffic)

So after returning our bikes, we head over to 淡水老街 to do some shopping. Tried their ice cream, and this is only the small one, the large one is actually twice the height of what I'm holding. (Tips: So, over here, I would recommend you to get 铁蛋, 姜母茶, 鱼酥, 阿原肥皂. Of course there's other things you can buy, but that's a few that I'll recommend.)
After purchasing what we should purchase, and also had a break over at Mr Brown Coffee again, we head over to 士林夜市 for foodie and shopping again. 士林夜市 is considered the largest and most famous night market in the city. Just like other night markets, they've games, food, apparels. But they've more varieties, that makes them the most famous night market. Eat and shop and eat and shop non stop. Spent like I think 4 hours there? Cause the moment we left, it's around 12 midnight already.
One good thing about Taiwan is that their train operate till late, cause we still able to catch a train at 12 midnight in ease. Unlike in Singapore, have to run for the last train, if not have to take a cab home, and there's like midnight charge (expensive like hell) By the time we are back, it's almost 1 am.
