Taipei, Taiwan Trip Day 3 (Part Two)

Read the previous Taiwan Trip post here:  ( Day 1 / Day 2 - Part One / Two / Day 3 - Part One)

The post card to myself which i've posted out from Jiu Fen has finally arrived! I will show you peeps soon!

Upon reaching Yehliu, the dark clouds which were approaching us looked kinda intimidating. There was no wind but the waves were strong.

野柳地质公园 Yehliu Geopark here we are! The scenery was magnificent i like it there a lot.



The icon of Yehliu Geopark is the 4,000 years old Queen's head mushroom rock. You need to queue to take a picture with or of this particular rock. The queue is as long as those of KOI bubble tea! Not Kidding!

To skip the queue we zoomed in with NX210 from a distance BUT from a wrong direction therefore it does not look like it. We also took a photo of the Cute princess's not cute head (which no one bothers about) i guess it's an artifact.

After the park, we headed to their market to buy some local products. Vin was afraid of this dog. Though it does not bark but he is very excited to see Vin. Keep wagging his tail and following Vin around and he gave off that look like he's gonna pounce unto Vin for a hug anytime. HAHA!


We had a delicious seafood dinner near the geopark, did some shopping at 7-11 ('cause our hotel is quite far away from the shops) and checked into  Hotel Ocean Vista & Spa

Ours was the 雅致套房 ( 專屬水世界 ). Each and every individual rooms looked different but very huge. So if you're alone, you will definitely feel eerie. There's Jacuzzi / steam room in each room as well. Luckily i brought my bikini with me! :P 

I was hooked to the chocolate snack "Guai Guai" which you can only find in Taiwan. Yea and i bought masks from 7-11 as well.


I did a post of the masks here!



Night / evening view..


Day view..


The stay at this hotel was not too bad. Though they are located quite far away from the shops and their breakfast buffet is not to my liking and they do not serve cereals. For the good view and spacious room space, i do not mind going back again.

So fast, the Taiwan trip is coming to an end. After checking out of Hotel Ocean Vista, we headed for lunch at Five Dime before going to the airport.. Last post of my Taiwan trip next!
