Taiwan Excellence
A popular attraction for locals and visitors alike, Taipei Zoo is also a leader in wildlife and ecological research, education, and conservation. The National Palace Museum in Taipei is home to one of the most important collections of Chinese art in the world, and covers more than 8,000 years of Chinese history and culture. Featuring some 690,000 pieces, it covers all areas of Chinese art, including antiquities, painting, calligraphy, bronzes, jade, ceramics, and sculpture. At a soaring 1,667 feet , Taipei 101 was the world’s tallest building when it was completed in 2004—Dubai’s Burj Khalifa overtook it in 2010.

Didn't expect for such short leg to be so expensive. Just be very careful when riding, as people tend to just take any possible gap and I've definitely had a few near misses. On that note, when hiring scooters, is it compulsory to have an international drivers permit?

But there's no disneyland or universal studios if that is what you were thinking. Tamshui/Danshuei is a pretty easy day trip using the MRT from Taipei and I recommend a walk along the riverfront as well as a visit to the restaurants on Old Street — the food is cooked using fresh ingredients. There are also a couple of old forts that are worth visiting as tourist attractions. You could also take a boat ride to get a different perspective of the city from the riverfront to Fisherman's Wharf. I believe the boat operators take the easy card but when I was there they preferred if you bought a ticket.
The only attraction we really enjoyed today at an admission fee of 450 NTD each was the National Museum of Marine Biology. This is more an aquarium than a museum and we both enjoyed the experience to the point that we spent a lot longer there than I had planned. These comments apply to many of the “attractions” we visited today.
Anna has a headache and sleeps through the scenic area which is also winding and in the rain. Much easier driving today with Lilly navigating and me starting to feel more comfortable with driving on the right, getting used to the car and the road signs etc. This place could be called scooter city, they are everywhere, scooting past you on each side sometimes so quick that one false move and they would be curtains. So it’s imperative to hold your line in the traffic and give plenty of warning to change lanes.
Built in 1976 the pagodas have intricate and colourful eaves and carvings and appear well maintained. You approach the pagodas via zig zag walkway over the water and enter the dragon’s mouth symbolizing courage. After viewing the pagodas and taking many pics we exit the Tiger’s mouth escaping danger. Today in summary we go south mainly via the east coast to the southern point of Taiwan and back up the west coast to Kaohsiung City. A long day behind the wheel, sometimes a bit hair raising but we survived unscathed and my beloved and I are still talking and the relationship solid. First stop is Chikeshan which we reached by deviating probably about 20kms off our route, about 12kms of it up a narrow, at times quite steep and very winding road.
I went solo and travelled around the whole country and i managed. You can't go to Taiwan and not visit a few of them. It's a foodie's paradise and it's quite cheap, too! Tokyo and Taipei are the best places for people who enjoy doing a lot of eating whilst overseas. The people are super friendly, very helpful and will even walk you to your destination if you're lost.
Torrents of water plunge into a deep pool and raise a shroud of mist that creates a rainbow effect on sunny days. With a width of more than 131 feet , Taiwan’s Little Niagra isn't quite as big as Niagara Falls but its shape is similar. Howard Plaza Hotel, No.160, Section 3, Ren'ai Road, Taipei. 2 Avoid major tourist attractions, such as Taroko Gorge and Sun Moon Lake, on weekends and public holidays. Ancient hunting, fishing and harvesting rituals are toasted in a calendar of vibrant aboriginal festivals. The booty was shipped to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek, whose Kuomintang nationalist government was hounded off the Chinese mainland by Mao's Communists in 1949.

Port Location - The main pier, Tha Dan, is located 9km south of the town of Phang-Nga. The two islands are forest-covered with steep shores. They lie in the north-western part of the Phang Nga Bay, some 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the main land, amidst a group of a dozen of other islands. The island has a few caves and two sandy beaches, on the south western part and between the twin islands. The best view of the rocks and the bay is gained from a small path, which ascends steeply on the right of the beach at the place where the boats land. Numerous traders sell souvenirs on the beach and there are also some refreshment stalls.
I think if that's the case, will stay near the main station, as there will be good train connection between the HSR station and main station, which should be easier with suitcases. It is about $35 aussie and you get unlimited hotpot for 2 hours. Seafood, meat from Australia, Japan and New Zealand. I didn't have time to visit Tainan but i did visit Kaohsiung for a short time.
