Top Things To Do In Chiang Mai

Just like most of the South East Asian Cities on the tourist route, Chiang Mai offers limitless Buddhist temples spread throughout the city. But what really stands out with this popular city north of Thailand is its rich history and colorful culture that still blend into the modern time.

If you’re already tired with the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, Chiang Mai might be the place for you. It can still give you the hyper vibe Bangkok has but with a more laid-back feeling into it. It is still a province and far off from the capital, so expect to get a rustic, slow-paced, stress-free environment from time to time, which is actually a good thing!

I can actually compare it to Bali. You can party yet find relaxation at the same time. Though instead of beaches, you’ll be on the mountains here in Chiang Mai.

How To Get To Chiang Mai?

Your best bet in getting to Chiang Mai is flying in to Bangkok. Numerous international airports fly in to Thailand’s capital so that wouldn’t be a big issue.

Once you’ve stepped in to Bangkok, either you can stay for a few nights (recommended!) or go straight to your destination. Taking the night bus or train is the most famous option for budget travelers, yet flying in to Chiang Mai can also be cheap. Take note that the bus and train can take between 11 and 14 hours of travel. Make sure to check airlines like Thai AirAsia, Thai Lion Air, & Nok Air as well as they offer cheap flights domestically.

How To Get Out Of The Airport (Chiang Mai International Airport)?

I actually had done enough research on how to take the public transportation from the airport to the Old City, where most of the attractions and accommodations are. There is an option which looks like the most local one called Songthaew or a shared pick-up taxi (usually red in color) available once you exit the arrival hall. I’ve also bumped into an article online mentioning about airport shuttle vans with designated stops in the Old City. And of course, your “trustworthy” airport taxis ready for your service for a steeper price.

Despite of these options I got, I hadn’t taken any of them since good thing, Grab is available in Chiang Mai. Grab has always been a reliable travel app here in South East Asia. It works like Uber that has reasonable pricing and you’ll most likely get a safe and comfortable ride.

Well to be honest, I was rooting for the Songthaew but I was unsure on how to take them. LOL! I was seeing a lot passing by but it looked like some were privately hired. It was not clear to me which one to take and what to do next once I’ve hoped in. I also didn’t see any airport shuttle vans or at least a counter or a queue for them. I was just grateful that Grab was available. :D

What To Do In Chiang Mai?

Chiang Mai is known to be the most visited city in northern Thailand. Most activities in this part of the country can be seen here that’s why you’ll certainly never run out of things to do in Chiang Mai. My 3 days of stay in this beautiful city might be a quick one yet I can say that I had witness most of its beauty. Listed below are the top things I didn’t miss out on this amazing place.

1. Do Temple-Hopping

You might already be templed-out if you have been traveling to Indochina for quite some time now. I’m pretty sure that you have seen countless similar looking temples throughout your trip and the last thing you want to see is another temple.

Chiang Mai might be an exception. I have checked out some of their famous temples and I can say that they differ from one another. Unlike the temples in Siem Reap, Cambodia (which are great by the way), temples here in Chiang Mai feels homely and simpler in structure. They are way less intimidating despite of the golden Buddhas and other statues all around.

Below are some of the cool temples I was able to visit:

Wat Chiang Man

Wat Chedi Luang

This temple is my favorite in Chiang Mai as it has an impressive ruin chedi (pagoda) at the center of the temple ground.

Wat Phan Tao

This temple was not listed on my itinerary but I was able to visit this on my way to Wat Chedi Luang.

Wat Lok Molee

Wat Phra Singh

Wat Sri Suphan (Silver Temple)

Make sure to visit this temple at night to witness its illuminating beauty.

Situated up in the mountain with an astonishing view of the province, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is considered to be the most popular for tourists. Unfortunately, I was unable to visit this temple as it is quite far off from the Old City.

2. Experience The Night Market

There are a few amazing night markets to choose from when you’re here in Chiang Mai but the most popular would be the Sunday Night Market or also known as the Walking Street along Ratchadamnoen Rd. It’s a kilometer stretch of delectable cuisine, artsy souvenirs, and cool local events.

Evidently, this only takes place every Sunday from 4PM until around midnight.

  3. Learn How To Cook Thai Cuisine

I’ve always been eager to try a cooking class ever since I started traveling. Food has always been a big part of all my travels and what better way to know more of the local cuisine than trying to make them by yourself!

I almost had the chance when I was in Penang, Malaysia but was out of time. I found the cooking courses in Luang Prabang, Laos quite expensive on the other hand. The perfect moment came when I visited Chiang Mai!

Thailand definitely is the best place to savor on a gastronomical experience. I was able to enroll for a 3 Dishes - Half Day Course for a reasonable price (the cheapest I saw online) under Mama Noi Thai Cookery School. This activity is available online via Klook and Kkday. If you’re new to Klook, make sure to sign up HERE to get a Php150 reward!

  4. Eat A Lot!

Thai cuisine has always been one of my favorites ever since. No trip to Thailand is complete without trying their authentic food choices.

If Pad Thai is screaming in and out of Bangkok, you might need to ditch that delectable plate for now and focus more on another local noodle dish made popular up here in the north.

Unlike Pad Thai that is dry, Khao Soi is another noodle dish served with a creamy spicy curry-like coconut broth.

Khao Soi Khun Yai is one of the popular stalls in the area that sells Khao Soi. I actually had my lunch here before I went to Wat Lok Molee which is just across the road.

I had this sweet Longan Juice to pair with my spicy Khao Soi.

Tip: Make sure to go here early as they only run from 11:00AM to 2:00PM and usually sell out quickly.

  Some travelers even continue their journey way up further to places like Pai, Chiang Rai, and even Luang Prabang in Laos. But Chiang Mai indeed has these countless attractions your eyes can enjoy. I could also say that this is a great place to retire. No doubt a lot of digital nomads has found a home in this charming ancient city with a modern twist. I can describe Chiang Mai as a city away from the hustle. Despite of the city thriving its way, Chiang Mai still manages to hold its tradition making it an authentic city that catches every traveler’s heart.

Taiwan Trip 2018

I’ve always been curious about what the heart of Asia can offer and by taking advantage of its government’s initiative for Free Visa to attract more tourists, it’s time to get to know this neighboring country.

I turned to AirAsia for cheap flights and got a good deal for Taiwan from Dec. 17-21. The dates are the best as they’re literally 1 week before the holiday break kicks off so I don’t need to worry about the “back to reality” dillemma that we get right after spending a holiday away from home then going back straight to work.

I did a lot of research by reading blogs and watching vlogs on Youtube. The information I got from the two mediums really helped me out in planning my 4 days trip. AirAsia flights to Taiwan from Clark are always at night so I only have 4 days instead of 5.

The next thing I did after securing my flight tickets, I looked for discounted hotels/hostels. I always turn to Agoda because they have the cheapest accommodation deals. Been booking hotels with them since 2016. I never had an issue and their customer service, although the queue is too long, you’ll spend a tantamount of time waiting on the line for a rep to attend to your concerns, is superb. Agoda also have the options for “pay nothing until” or “pay at the property”. I also considered looking through Airbnb but in the end, I found myself booking two accommodations via Agoda. Mind you, always read the reviews of people for that hotel you want to book. It will definitely help you decide if it’s the right one for you.

I also thought of booking activities, buy tickets and rentals online (aside from flight tickets) when planning my trip. I turned to two travel applications: Klook and KKday.

Klook:

-Rental of 4G Wifi Mobile Broadband I got on Sale. My usage is 5 days. The pickup location is right at the Arrival Area of Taoyuan Airport T1. It was an easy transaction, instructions on the Klook voucher is accurate. I presented the QR code on the voucher on my phone, my passport and Debit card (credit card can be used too). The card is required so when you loose or damage the device, they’ll charge you. Signed the receipt and that’s it! The device was low on power charge though, so I got to use it the next day but boy, it’s so fast! No lagging anywhere I go in Taiwan. The price shown below is for 1 day use only. So the price will multiply depending on how many days you’re going to use it.

-Taichung World Flora Expo Ticket. This ticket is for the entrance fee of the three world flora expo sites. I’ll go into detail of the itinerary later on.

KKDAY:

-booked a Day Tour Package for three tourist spots: Yehliu Geopark, Shifen and Jiufen.

What you need to know for first time travelers in Taiwan like me:

1. If your arrival time and immigration process allows it, catch the airport MRT going to Taipei or any other places in Taiwan. Otherwise, take a bus or Uber or Taxi. I was lucky to catch the MRT. MRT Airport Operating hours: 6am - 12am only.

2. Purchase the Easycard. It’s going to be your bestfriend in going around the city and neighboring states/provinces. It costs NTD$500 - there is a NTD$100 fee so your balance on the card will be NTD$400. The Easycard can be used both in MRT and Bus. This is available to purchase at any Information booth in MRT stations. Taiwan has a very systematic and easy to understand transportation system so I’m really happy about it. It’s so easy going up and down stations to your destinations.

3. It’s December, it’s Winter. Do you need to wear a jacket? I would suggest to search for the weather forecast from the duration of your stay. In my case, it never rained. It was sunny. The lowest temperature I experienced was just 17degrees Celcius -at night. Temperatures tend to get low at sun down. During the day, while wearing a fleece jacket, puffer jacket and a sweater, met with humidity and highest temp of 28degress Celcius, I got too sweaty!! So on my last day in Taiwan, I was wearing a sando and shorts. No sweat, no cold feeling though I attracted attention for wearing differently. I can’t help it, I’m a tropical island girl so 17, 20, or 28 degress are not cold enough for me except when I’m about to have my period, my body temps get low, I’m shivering at 20 degress at the office aircon. Lol. But you will notice the Taiwanese people are still wearing layered jackets I think it’s because they just got used to wearing those clothing during Winter months. And anyway, most of the year, it’s raining in Taiwan and the rain adds to the cold temperature so yeah, maybe that’s the reason. I was just lucky I guess that the duration of my visit was sunny, no rains at all.

4. Taiwanese are very friendly, accommodating and helpful that in spite of language barrier, they will proactively help you out when they see you confused or trying to figure out which way to go. That alone made my journey very easy and I really felt safe there.

5. Speaking of language barrier, taxi drivers speak little to no English and they’re having a hard time understanding what you’re trying to say. So I suggest that you prepare an address of your destination that’s written in Chinese. When I was going to the hostel from Taipei Main Station, the taxi driver was clever enough to call the hostel to get the address in Mandarin.

6. There’s plenty of climbing and walking from stations to stations and hiking trails. So you must wear comfortable shoes, and you should be an active person to prevent yourself from suffering painful legs and knees.

7. Get a copy of the Taipei Metro Guide pamphlet. It will help you navigate which train line to take to get to your destinations. You can get it from the Information booth or train officers around the stations. You can also get a soft copy online at english.metro.taipei -just type it as it is on your web browser.

Here’s my detailed itinerary..

Day 1. A DIY trip I planned:

Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial

Elephant Mountain

Mala YuanYang Hotpot

Chun Shui Tang Milk Tea

Maokong Gondola

Longshan Temple

Taipei 101

Ximending

Shilin Night Market

What I actually able to fulfill: all of the above except the ones written on RED. Yes. I ran out of time, I wasn’t able to squeeze them to the schedule.

Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial - this is just a walking distance from the hostel I stayed in. No entrance fee as it is a public place. I was in awe at how huge those traditional structures are and how spacious the whole park is. It’s magnificent! Also, the Exit 5 of the Chiang Kai-Shek MRT station is right in the compound.

Elephant Mountain - it’s a hiking trail where you can get a great view of Taipei 101 and the city from afar. It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. This is where my knees got in real trouble, I could use a wheelchair! The steps are too steep going up, I was not able to finish the trail and get to the boulders because my legs, specially my knees were giving up. This is the price to pay for not being an active person. Though, there is a spot, a balcony where you can already take a photo and see the city from there without going up to the boulders. That’s where I stopped and got the below 2nd photo.

How to get here: from any MRT station in my case, Chiang Kai-Shek Exit 4 station, take the RED line to Xiangshan station and go to Exit 2. From Exit 2, go straight to the park then turn left at the end of the park, go straight then turn right. Continue walking straight until you see the sign on the above photo on the left side of the street. When in doubt, just Google then look for the result from “Guide to Taipei”. Tried pasting the link here but this silly tumblr can’t save it, the app crashes.

Mala YuanYang Hotpot at Ximending - took a lunch at this unlimited hotpot that is popular to tourists. This place gets really crowded mostly by Korean tourists. The lunch costs NTD$545 and dinner is NTD$635. You can have unlimited premium meats, seafood and other hotpot essentials, unlimited drinks with plenty of varieties and this is the most exciting part: unlimited Häagen-Dazs and Movenpick ice cream!!! Aside from other desserts like fruits, puddings and egg tart. The only limited though, is time. Your lunch and dinner is limited to only 2 hours. It is located in Ximending which is also happens to be Taipei’s shopping district. So in this stop, I was able to hit two places in one go. And I think Ximending is livelier at night. So if you want to get dinner instead of lunch at Mala Hotpot, then I think that’s a better idea.

How to get here: Ximen station is your drop point station. It is in the Blue and Green lines as it also serves as the transfer station for Green line. Blue line has transfer stations from Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center station and Zhongxiao Fuxing station from the Brown line, Taipei Main Station from the Red line, Zhongxiao Xinsheng from the Orange line, and Ximen station from the Green line. From where I was at Xiongshan station of the Red line, I dropped off the Chiang Kai-Shek station then transferred to the Green line and stopped at Ximen station.

Taipie 101 - the most famous landmark of Taiwan. It’s astonishing! Since it’s sunny on the day I went up the Taipei 101 Observatory, I was able to see the whole city, crystal clear! What I forgot to do though is to get to the 91st floor observatory. The main observatory is at the 89th floor and it took us 37seconds to get there from the 5th floor where the ticket for the observatory is being sold at NTD$600 per person. It is indeed the fastest lift!

How to get here: Take the RED line going to Taipei 101/World Trade Center station.

Maokong Gondola - it’s a gondola ride with three mountain stops. The last stop is the Maokong village where there are a bunch of tea shops. It is better to get there before sunset to see the city sunset while enjoying a tea. Unfortunately in my case, I got to ride the gondola past 5pm. Night time comes early at 5pm. But I get to see the city at night while riding the gondola and enjoying the cold breeze.

How to get here: from Taipei 101 station which is in the RED line, take the same line to Daan Park station which is the transfer station for the Brown line. Take the Brown line going to Taipei Zoo station. From Taipei Zoo staition, just follow the signs that leads to the Maokong Gondola. It will cost you a total of NTD$200 for a round trip from the gondola.

Chun Sui Tang Cultural Tea House - based on Google search, it is the one that started the Milk Tea craze! They also have the Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup which is also a famous Taiwanese dish. Hitting two birds with one stone. This is where I had my dinner. The milk tea tastes bittersweet which I really like. The beef noodle soup tastes good too! The servings are huge!

How to get here: Take the Red line going to Chiang Kai-shek station. Go to Exit 5. The restaurant is located just under the stairs of the Chaing Kai-Shek Concert Hall.

And that’s a wrap for my first day in Taiwan. My next posts will detail my journey for the rest of my 4 days in the country.

[Clairegarden愛玩]曼谷 懶人旅行法~一次遊遍兩個水市場+美功鐵道市集，各景點推薦評比

 很久以前在電視節目上看到秒收帳篷的鐵道市場

這個畫面深刻地烙印在我心中

所以這次的泰國行就把他列入想參觀的行程內

不過交通似乎有些不方便加上自己也懶得再思考怎麼去

決定簡單點直接跟套裝行程吧

網路上看到了klook跟kkday兩家

雖然klook價格比較優惠

但我最後還是選擇了kkday的行程

因為他早上9點才出發可以不用太早起XD

再加上出發的地點離我們住的Asok站很近

 集合地點在Time Square的星巴克

抵達時才發現店家是在賣場裡

所以我們走到店外面

看到有人聚集的地方

鼓起勇氣一問才順利完成報到

接著服務人員帶我們到廂型車上等待

還發給我們一人一個袋子

裡面有水、麵包、紙巾

心理OS:早知道昨天就不要去買零食了

等待人員全部到齊後我們就出發了

一開始導遊和我們同車

不過導遊沿顧著補眠或滑手機甚麼介紹也沒有

只有到達目的後才會簡單為我們介紹景點

 從曼谷市中心離開後約2小時的車程抵達了丹能沙朵水上市集

我們一開始搭船的地方離市場有點遠

大概過了十分鐘才抵達丹能沙朵水上市集

因為主要交通工具是船

所以會有塞船的狀況

一開始我買了椰子冰一顆就要價50元

船家會停在某些店面(應該有套過交情的)

他停在一家有養蟒蛇和猴子的店一直叫我們跟它拍照

我超怕動物類一點都沒興趣

他還會三不五時的用手推我叫我注意哪些店家

讓我感覺有點不喜歡

話說這裡東西偏貴不建議來這裡買東西

景點推薦指數*

 抵達美功鐵道我們先去用餐

這邊物價就便宜許多

大顆椰子水20元

打拋豬肉飯、蝦仁炒麵也只要40~45元

完全就是俗又大碗

列車有固定進站時間

我們抵達時接近的時段是14:30

記得要提前去鐵道上卡位

 車子進站前其實攤位已經收的差不多

不過也是很快就收好帳篷了

 火車進站的速度超慢

親臨現場後才發現好像也沒有秒收呢

當火車穿越時和它只有十公分左右的距離有點刺激呢XD

  景點推薦指數***

 樹中佛寺和泰拳公園

兩個景點就在附近

樹中有佛像好特別

  參拜時要摸一下佛像以沾沾好運

樹中佛寺是泰國十大最靈驗廟宇之一

所以佛像上可是貼滿滿滿金箔

廟裡面不可以拍照

導遊教我們在廟的側邊洞口由下往上拍可以拍到完整的佛像

  泰拳公園有好多打泰拳的雕像

可惜都有點剝落了

    這邊還有個小馬場

 雖然有點臭味

不過老公在這裡跟小馬玩得很開心

景點推薦指數**

 安帕瓦水上市場

這個行程周末才有

因為安帕瓦水上市場只有週五、週六、週日有開市

這個水上市場比丹能沙朵水上市集價格平易近人許多

導遊推薦的泰式奶茶在一走進去的地方

  我們晚餐在一家米粉湯店用餐

 一碗15元的價錢雖然沒有很大碗

但味美實在還是很大心

 吃飽喝足我們還去搭船賞螢火蟲

正要出發時突然傳出歌聲

只見大家都立正站好

原來是泰國國歌的撥放啊

  本來以為是像台南綠色隧道這樣可以看到滿佈的螢火蟲

但只是稀疏的樹層搭配微弱點點的亮光

跟我預期落差太大我還真有點失望呢

不過能看到天上像大熊的雲朵還有河上風光

勉強算是有一點收穫啦

穿進小巷弄裡有些小驚喜

我個人還蠻喜歡安帕瓦水上市場的

 景點推薦指數****

 一日遊行程很豐富

不過實際去參觀後跟我預期有點落差啊

而且我覺得司機開車比較辛苦

導遊好像跟我們沒有太多交集

所以我們後來又多給了司機小費

這次的行程滿意度我大概只會給兩顆星吧

§雨神§【香港尖沙嘴─住宿】百樂酒店★跟著香港電影、港劇遊香港自由行之住宿篇

   這次香港行的住宿，經過我和閨蜜兩輪的篩選後…最後決定住在尖沙嘴的【香港百樂酒店】。

原本我是希望訂到維多利亞港邊的海景酒店，但要嘛不是房價高到嚇人就是交通不方便…

最後只好退其次找離維多利亞港近的鬧區，交通又方便的【香港百樂酒店】了。

  因為我們是搭《機場快線穿梭巴士》到【香港百樂酒店】對面的《查理布朗餐廳》樓下下車…

  所以是從【香港百樂酒店】的後門進入。

  大約環顧了一下周遭，非常熱鬧，人來人往人聲鼎沸。

不過，根據香港友人提醒，建議女性遊客盡量不要在晚上12點以後獨自在大街上遊蕩…因為我和朋友步行去維多利亞港的路上沿途都有印度人在路邊拉客或是一群人聚集，雖然香港友人沒有明說原因，但旅遊在外多保護自己一點是好的。

《接待大廳》

  大廳位於酒店的前門，有復古的沙發，寬敞的大廳。

服務大致上還好，但有些態度上的細節部分也許有些人會感到不舒服，反正不影響到我都算可以接受。

反觀酒店的正大門前，卻沒有像後門熱鬧。

  如果到達的時間有點晚，離打烊時間不到幾小時，想逛街又不想走太遠可以步行大約10分鐘到附近的《The one購物中心》逛逛。

  《酒店服務與設備》

除了一般酒店基本服務之外，地下1樓有酒吧，4樓有咖啡廳，5樓有健身房，另外還有兒童托管服務、外幣兌換、旅行轉接器、自助洗衣、免費使用的handy智能旅遊手機、Wi-Fi 熱點分享功能、無限3G流動手機上網以及免費本地及國際長途電話至15個國家。

  《房卡》

  出門時建議連帶房卡的外包裝一起帶出門，搭的士（當地計程車）時如果和司機說不清楚地址或酒店名稱，還可以拿出來給司機看包裝上的地圖。

《房間住宿環境》

  其實我會選擇住這裡主要是因為這家酒店的房間在香港的平價酒店中算是比較寬敞的！

我們住的是最便宜的高級客房的雙床房，但因為我是早起困難戶，所以就選擇不附早餐，等我睡醒再到街上覓食也很方便。（因為我們下車的地方整條街有很多餐廳）

窗外雖然無法看到海景，但是街景也是不錯的…

  《房間設備》

一進房，看到電視下正在充電的手機先別緊張，這就是酒店提供的《免費使用的handy智能旅遊手機》！

   這支handy智能旅遊手機不僅可以讓住客使用Wi-Fi 熱點分享、無限量流動上網服務、撥打／接聽電話功能和無限本地通話及國際長途電話，手機裡還有預設多個常用的應用程序、互動地圖、私人城市導覽、香港旅遊指南以及獨家促銷優惠。

不過，個人使用的心得是…在戶外時使用google map的網速有點慢，還是要靠自己的手機網路國際漫遊會快一些，但使用上確實真的方便，旅遊指南要看個人需求。

如果像雨神我一樣是3C笨蛋＋手殘的朋友也別擔心，房間桌上有附上《免費使用的handy智能旅遊手機》的使用說明。

  房間內還有個很不錯的設備《膠囊咖啡機》！

  不僅有咖啡機的使用說明，還有貼心的介紹每個膠囊咖啡的產地、香氣和強度說明，比起一般酒店提供咖啡包厲��多了！

而冰箱和杯具則在桌面下。

  4樓的Park café有提供海鮮自助吧，但我不能吃海鮮…放棄！

  床頭櫃有個中央控制，比較稀奇的是還有提供房間音樂…但是晚上大約10點過後會自動關閉，隔天早上才會撥放喔！

  《衛浴設備》

  盥洗的部分，除了基本配備還有提供衛生袋、擦鞋布是比較少見的。

  還有個比較不容易被注意到的厲害設備，那就是…蒸氣浴！

  在浴室的牆上就會發現這個孔，別誤以為是針孔，這真的是蒸氣浴的出氣孔…雖然這家酒店不是五星級，但有蒸氣設備真的很強了！

每天早上要離開酒店前，提醒大家一定要看一下廁所裡貼在鏡子上的告示牌。

  把需要更換的毛巾記得放入浴缸，方便工作人員打掃，別讓自己成為失禮的旅客喔！

【心得分享】

★捨去服務態度上的好壞來說，這裡的設備和房價讓我覺得很值得推薦！

★為什麼我會說要《捨去服務態度》？因為在香港並不像在台灣每個人都會客戶至上，笑容更是很難看到！在酒店裡，畢竟是服務業多少還會態度好一點，走出酒店之後…那就更難看到笑容了。

★如果不想出遠門，在樓下逛街吃吃喝喝也是很方便的！

★後門的隔壁有家服飾店的價格很便宜，可以去挖寶看看。

★個人不太建議在香港的藥妝店買東西，有些價格比臺灣貴。

★香港的年輕男生還蠻多帥哥的，可以仔細張大眼睛保養一下視力囉！

[國外旅遊] 日本 東京 跟著Klook行程來草莓吃到飽

這次來東京並非完全自由行

在出發前就跟Klook下訂了一個"富士山芝櫻季・五合目・草莓吃到飽"行程

在台北我壓根沒採過草莓，吃到飽也幾乎很少

家裡沒有在買草莓這種水果，幾乎吃到機率是0

只有偶爾吃蛋糕甜點裡面的草莓，本身也非草莓控

只是剛好這行程綁到了草莓吃到飽，就來看看囉

 一下遊覽車，一車把這草莓園包了起來

這個地方專門接待觀光客的，所以通常都是旅行社會帶團過來

首先進去前店家會發個小盒子，裡面為您倒入煉乳

接著踏進來後，就任你吃，不能打包帶走，當然可以裝在手中的小盒

目的要你馬上採馬上吃，真的是太令我驚奇

我一開始其實有一點沒有放膽去吃，畢竟習慣吃有洗過的水果

所以要我現拿現吃一度徬徨猶豫

後來豁出去了...來到日本應該很乾淨(?)被洗腦的概念

每一顆草莓都無敵大顆且甜到不行

不需要沾甚麼煉乳了拉

 大家都還算守秩序，每人自行挑選想要的區域，開始狂吃草莓

真的是吃到飽沒騙你

這短短的30分鐘我應該已經把整年度草莓的扣打都吃足了

不過走路的時候還是要小心不要踐踏到草莓

這畢竟也是店家辛辛苦苦培育的，要愛惜食物喔

而且店家是一個很可愛的老婆婆，只要是婆婆我都會覺得他們超可愛

婆婆用日文說著他的草莓是一級棒最厲害的

超級可愛，我愛上婆婆了

若問我Klook及Kkday有何不同之處

其實兩者都有同樣的行程內容，就看你想要選哪間

有時候剛好會有促銷等等優惠活動，當然選擇價錢偏優惠的拉

所以對我來說兩個K之間都大同小異

到了日本當地都是交由日本旅行社接洽一切行程

日本人讓人安心、放心，甚至連當地人都會跟這種一天旅行團出遊呢

明年待草莓季節時候，若有造訪日本

可以來試試看草莓吃到飽

跟團好處，不用動大腦，上車睡翻下車拍照吃飽飽

是一種很放鬆、悠閒的行程

我這次是位於甲府市那區的草莓吃到飽

話說..真的很喜歡偏郊外的氣息勝過東京忙亂的都市氛圍

來到這你會感受到不一樣的東京，那種熱情是你在城市無法體會的美

泰國沙美島兩天一夜怎麼玩 X 島嶼小旅行行程規劃

距離曼谷只要 3.5小時的天堂沙美島，從搭巴士、買船票、雙條車還是要花費很多精神，所以我們就很偷懶的參加了當地的旅遊團，哈哈 ! 有專車接送、途中經過可以榴槤吃到飽的水果園，第一次看到了野生榴槤，回程的時候還去了在地人很有名的海鮮餐廳，滿滿一桌的海鮮大餐一個人只要500不到超級划算，途中導遊會分享泰國人的生活點滴，整趟旅行充滿著輕鬆與樂趣 :)

沙美島 兩天一夜 怎麼玩?

這次泰國之旅，不同於以往我們規劃的曼谷市區行程，還增加了我超愛的沙美島，離曼谷市區 4 小時的沙美島，需要作很多瑣碎的交通功課與計算費用，像是「市區島嶼往返交通」、「碼頭搭乘處」、「船票購買」、「入沙美島門票」、「搭乘雙條車」、還有「沙美島入園費」等等，很多雜項要準備有點繁瑣，然後，因為我們想偷懶，抱著單純渡假與放鬆的心情，所以參加了 KKday 推出的兩天一夜沙美島懶人行程。

這趟沙美島二日遊，除了交通船票等等全部包含其中辦到好，費用中又含一晚沙美島住宿，以及會說中文的人員全程陪同，完全替我們的旅行省了不少時間與精力，路途中導遊還會分享一些泰國當地人的生活習慣到飲食等等，非常豐富有趣。詳細可以參考以下網址；

KKday ►►【經典沙美島二日遊】享受海鮮盛宴及水果吃到飽行程

第一天 08:30 出發

這次開車帶我們前往沙美島的就是樂活民宿的女主人可愛女兒 Claire，她是台灣人住在泰國，說著一口流利泰文外還很會開車，哈哈，而且很貼心與細心的陪同了我們兩天一夜的小島旅行，我們很喜歡她，很親切讓人沒有距離，而且她與媽媽都很熱情招待我們，還介紹我們吃了不少當地人才知道的好吃泰國料理，幾乎每餐上桌都是滿漢大餐，而民宿房內則是以簡單乾淨為主，售價也相對平價，不管是民宿還是可愛的 Calire 還是媽媽，我們都很喜歡，非常推薦大家要前往沙美島的前一晚，來住他們這裡哦。

上圖/ 樂活民宿室內與戶外照片

第一天 11:00 高速公路休息站 12:00 「羅永水果園」吃到飽

從高速公路休息站在往前繼續，經過了約一小時之後，就會來到羅永水果園區，在這裡除了會讓大家搭乘水果園區車，介紹水果種類之外，像沖繩男孩在這裡就第一次看到野生「榴槤」與「羅漢果」，非常有趣；在這裡的水果可以盡情的吃到飽，因為我們在休息站已經吃很飽，所以並沒有拿很多，當然，重頭戲是尤其如果有朋友喜歡吃「榴槤」，在這裡都可以盡量的品嘗啊；而除了水果之外，還有吃到飽的泰北口味「涼拌青木瓜」，酸酸辣辣的口感非常不錯。

進到園區這裡的風景很棒，除了可以看見許多平常少見的果樹外，周邊還有許多湖畔圍繞以及環境相當清幽，是個非常適合放慢腳步，欣賞風景邊品嘗水果的不錯景點。

下圖／　前往沙美島中繼站，高速公路休息站

上圖／　羅永水果園

第一天　12:30 抵達「羅永碼頭」準備搭船前往「沙美島」

品嘗完水果後，接著繼續開車來到碼頭，業者會幫大家買好船票，也會幫大家找好船隻，大家只要在這裡等待即可。然後，在這裡搭船乘的都是大船，基本上不容易暈船，整個船乘大概是 40 分鐘會抵達沙美島，但如果跟我一樣是很容易暈船體質，還是會建議攜帶暈船藥，以備不時之需。

抵達沙美島之後，要購買門票才能進入，但這個費用已包含在行程裡，我們也不需要再另外付費，接下來就要準備搭乘「雙條車」進入沙美島囉。

（ 雙條車進入車程約 20 分鐘，車資也包含在行程費用裡 ）

「沙美島」圖文，更多請看我之前介紹的這一篇；

► 泰國景點 X 沙美島 Koh Samed Island X 曼谷東南方的小島秘境 

下圖／羅永碼頭

上圖／終於抵達了嚮往超久的沙美島

 第一天　入住 Summer Day Resort、晚上欣賞「火舞秀」

沙美島住宿的飯店，原則上是由業者視飯店預約狀況而決定，基本上是住四星級 Samed Grandview Resort但這次因為臨時業者訂不到 Grandview Resort，所以改由入住就在隔壁的 Summer Day Resort兩者其實優點都是直接面向海灘，直接可以走入沙灘，風景都很棒。

下圖／Summer Day Resort

上圖／夜晚的沙美島與火舞秀

第二天　11:00 退房　前往「羅永海邊」吃海鮮

準備搭乘雙條車回到碼頭搭船回到羅永碼頭，然後到「當地市集」去逛逛以及吃海鮮囉!這裡的海鮮非常鮮美而且費用平價，滿滿的一桌雖然是自費，但是我們整桌吃下來，平均一個人只花了台幣 $500 左右，所以不用擔心，可以大吃特吃呀。離開前意外發現對面的民宿屋可愛極了，很想住在這裡住上一晚。

此外，也列出海鮮售價給大家參考；

螃蟹兩隻／THB135

蝦菇一盤／THB375

海螺一盤／THB290

大頭蝦六隻／THB340

打拋海鮮一盤／THB250

  下圖／海產店對街的造型民宿屋「ยาริส เฮาส์」

Amphoe Mueang Rayong, Chang Wat Rayong

第二天　準備開車回到曼谷市區囉

話是說，我們當天回到樂活民宿約晚上七點，因為中途有點塞車，回到樂活民宿， Claire 與媽媽很熱心的請我們去對街很有名的熱炒店吃飯，這間非常非常好吃，我邊吃邊跟沖繩男孩說，前兩次來泰國是白來了阿，怎麼這間熱炒店這麼好吃，這才是真正好吃的泰國菜阿!而且整間店只有我們是觀光客，其他都是當地人，就可以知道菜色道地與美味程度。真的是很謝謝他們呀，要不然我們根本沒有機會品嘗到真正美味的泰國菜。

 兩天一夜的沙美島之旅，因為有著 Claire 陪伴，讓我們像是又再度回到大學時期，與好朋友們一起出國的感受，也謝謝她能夠容忍我們兩個一直在拍照、攝影讓行程整個 delay，因為這樣覺得兩天一夜的相處實在太短暫了呀。Claire 媽媽送我們去搭乘捷運前往下一間飯店時，一直說如果有來泰國，要記得來給我招待哦!哈哈，我們直說好好好，這麼棒的一間民宿與可愛的妳們，怎麼會忘記妳們呢?謝謝沙美島與 Claire 和熱情的媽媽，讓我們這次的泰國之旅又更加不同與以往，更是增添了不少回憶呢。看來，很快又會想再訪泰國了( 微笑 )

§雨神§【香港赤鱲角─旅遊】跟著香港電影、港劇遊香港自由行之啟程篇

   「香港」一直是我從小就夢寐以求一定要走一趟地方！

無論電視廣告不停的說「來到香港，就是不停地買東西吃東西」，或是有些去過香港旅遊一直跟我不停說著失望論…我依然把「必須到香港走一趟」這件事放在心上，直到剛好我的好閨蜜相約海外旅遊，我才終於圓夢了！！

2017年，非常幸運的…我終於成行，而且一年之內飛了2趟香港，一趟是去香港旅遊，另一趟只是轉機過境往返臺灣和杭州，但…我就是覺得很～過～癮！

在還沒到香港旅遊前，對於香港的印象就是很熱鬧，走到哪都是人潮鼎沸的鬧區；但去過香港旅遊之後，個人的印象只停留在維多利亞港的美景和我一直想去的電影場景之外，其他的印象就…有些失望。

這篇的主題就先來聊聊【我從出發到酒店的過程】，希望透過我分享的細節能夠幫助到大家旅途順利囉！

========================（我是分隔線）========================

【去程】

我們這次的機票訂位和訂房都是透過【五福旅行社】協助訂位訂房，在此要好好感謝【五福旅行社】的貼心與耐心的提供服務。

因為我是台南人，台南和高雄都有直飛香港的班機，所以行程規劃上分析如下：

台南出發：到達時間比較快，價格便宜，只有固定幾天才有航班，航班少，但是有些信用卡公司不提供免費機場接送。

高雄出發：到達時間比較慢，價格貴一點，每天都有航班，信用卡公司都有提供免費機場接送。

結論：選擇從高雄出發。（這只是個人以目前狀況評估做的選擇，建議以實際情況評估預算為準）

這趟香港行說巧不巧的剛好是在颱風天的隔天出發，所以遇上了塞機＋大誤點時段…

  因為前一天剛好是颱風天，為了怕飛機臨時有變動於是我就在航空公司的網站設定班機提醒功能，以便掌握航班是否有照常飛行。

  原本我們搭乘的是下午2點的華航，當我們辦登機的時候地勤人員就有提醒過班機可能會變更，要我們注意廣播了。

當我們通關到華航貴賓休息室休息時，就聽到第一次廣播說飛機要做整理會慢30分鐘，第二次廣播是說飛機要維修什麼的，要延遲5小時，如果無法等待可以辦理換航班並提供便當，於是我們就帶著華航提供的小南排骨便當改搭港龍航空了。

入境必須記得要填出入境卡（一式兩聯），建議在飛機上空姐發放時就先拿來填寫，下飛機時就不用和人家提大包小包的擠在小桌子寫；如果是只是轉機過境則不用填寫這張卡片。

  ★旅行證件號碼：使用哪種證件給海關查驗就寫哪個。

★出發地及日期：證件內容寫的發證件的地點和日期。

★國籍：無論自己有幾個國籍，使用哪國護照給海關查驗就寫哪一個，不用把國籍全部寫上。

★出生日期：記得一定要寫西元年。

★出生地點：護照內容寫的出生地。

★香港地址：雖然網路爬文有人說可以免填，但我個人是寫住宿的酒店名稱。

★班機編號：電子機票上就有寫。

以上填完之後，入境海關人員查驗時就把這張卡和證件一起給海關人員，查驗完後會發還出境卡務必收好！等回要臺灣離境時再把出境那張和證件一起給海關查驗就可以了。

高雄直飛香港的飛行時間大約1小時，而停機坪和日本關西機場一樣是蓋在海中間，所以下飛機後接著就是沿著《抵港》（入境）指示先搭乘機場列車或接駁車到航廈的入境櫃檯。

    ★飛機停靠登機門時：找一下指示牌或詢問機場工作人員，而我都是跟著人群去搭車就對了！

★有的航班會停在停機坪中間沒有停靠登機門：機場的接駁車就會直接到飛機下等待接駁到航廈。

其實一下飛機也不用太擔心走丟，畢竟都是繁體中文，但是香港機場的大…在入境時還無法體會，只有在出境時才能親身體會這被人稱為購物天堂的好地方。（這裡是我看過最大最豐富的國際品牌免稅天堂）

抵達航廈時，先通關再去看班機對照行李盤取行李。

領完行李出關後就會到大廳。

    我們訂的住宿地點是位於尖沙嘴的【香港百樂酒店】，在交通的規劃上會有2種：

★省時間，但較花錢：從機場搭乘【機場快線】搭到九龍站下車→【酒店免費接駁巴士】找K4區→第一站下車就是【香港百樂酒店】的對面。（機場快線單程票HK＄90／人，雙人HK＄140）

★花時間，但較省錢：從機場搭乘【A21城市快巴】→第17站【加連威老道、漆咸道南】下車再步行前往。

（城市快巴單程票HK＄33／人）

由於在出發時已經讓飛機延誤事件折騰的有點累，所以我們就選擇比較節省時間但比較花錢一點的方式到達了。

在地鐵的售票處會看到旅客全日通、機場捷運旅遊票、八達通、地鐵單程票、地鐵來回票的票價。

  經過行程的規劃考量，機場來回只有第一天和最後一天才會搭到，其他行程基本都是步行居多，累了才會搭地鐵，於是我們最後的結論是…買八達通和地鐵單程票。

       八達通就類似臺灣的悠遊卡，是一款非接觸式儲值卡，提供簡單又方便安全的付款方式，不僅可以買車票，吃喝玩樂都可以用八達通扣款喔！

關於《八達通》請查詢→https://www.octopus.com.hk/tc/consumer/index.html

《八達通》可現場購買也可以在臺灣從旅遊網站預先購買。

★於發卡日起計90天內，可於港鐵客務中心退回沒有損壞及餘額少於港幣500元的八達通。

★租用版，須付港幣9元手續���；個人版，須付港幣10元手續費。

  【香港地鐵路線圖】

  好的，我們要搭乘《機場快線》從《往市區》的方向上車，前往目的地《九龍站》囉～Go！

       【九龍站】

       機場的港鐵有個還蠻有趣的地方，如果人生地不熟或和朋友聊得太盡興忘記事先買車票也是可以上車的，只是…走不出閘門，所以記得到客務中心補車票錢囉！

出閘門後，如果不想把車票留紀念，車站裡有個貼心的回收車票箱。

  接著就是尋找《機場快線穿梭巴士－免費往返酒店》的字樣，如下圖所示，要往右邊方向走。

  就在這個地方，如果人生地不熟的看到這樣的指標…我其實有一度腦袋理智線斷掉抓狂了一會…

因為沿著路標走，如果在人潮多的時候根本不會發現到…其實是要走到路底的左邊電梯下樓！（還好當下的時間已經過了上下班人潮，再加上我有個聰明的閨蜜旅伴，我才能迅速的拉回理智線找到目標。）

尋找《機場快線穿梭巴士－免費往返酒店》正確的路線是↓↓↓

出電梯後，依然沿著《機場快線穿梭巴士－免費往返酒店》指標找到↓↓↓這個地方就對了！

  接著在這邊的標示牌找自己住的酒店等車即可，例如我們是訂【香港百樂酒店】，所以我們的酒店接駁車是在K4區。

每一區的標式顏色都不同，請務必要坐在自己要搭車的標示區域等待，司機會按照自己接送的區域提醒客人上車。（請不要自顧自的隨性亂坐，更不要看到車就亂搭，畢竟司機並不認識客人，我們也看不到車內的告示牌啊～）

【機場快線穿梭巴士】

     巴士內的座位空間不大，一上車有放行李的架子。

★車內禁止飲食。

★手機下載《MTR Mobile》APP，可事先查詢《機場快線穿梭巴士》預計到站時間。

不僅省時，還可以沿途欣賞香港街景。

  《機場快線穿梭巴士》大約開到左邊看到《查理布朗》的招牌下車，走到對面就是我們的目的地【香港百樂酒店】囉！

========================（我是分隔線）========================

【回程】

回程的時候，我們一樣是在同樣的地方《查理布朗》的招牌下的站牌等《機場快線穿梭巴士》。

《機場快線穿梭巴士》會直接載我們到MTR車站門口。

    當司機載我們到這裡時，原本我還很疑惑…這裡是哪裡？怎麼會停在這裡呢？可是車上乘客都下車了啊…

直到我看到《市區預辦登機》的告示牌才秒懂，原來這裡也可以預辦登機和寄行李，太方便了！

    如何《市區預辦登機》，現場有告示牌。

  ★服務時間：05：30～00：30或末班飛機起飛前90分鐘。

★可於登機前一天預辦登機

★持有機場快線穿梭巴士車票或八達通者均免費享有市區預辦登機。

★辦理流程：從航班顯示屏上找出要搭乘的航班櫃位→進入辦理登機區域→辦理登機並領取登機證→前往機場快線離港月台。

    辦理完成後，就是輕鬆的在登機航廈逛街看風景囉！

   【分享】

★香港機場真的非～常～大！

★香港的服務態度大多很冷漠到令人傻眼，習慣就好。（但還是有少數暖心店家）

★提醒大家千萬別被市區登機處蒙蔽眼睛，以為地方很小只要登機前1小時到達就可以快速登機…No！

真心強烈建議…一定要提前3小時以上到機場辦登機，因為要登機的機場航廈不僅敲大，還要花時間等接駁車橫跨航廈，肯定會趕不及！

★華航和長榮航空在香港很常臨時改登機門，而且距離有時差很遠，說用跑的也不誇張！（話說當時我原本是2號登機門，後來突然改到26號登機門，真的是找到腳痠…）

★雖然香港自家的港龍航空比較不容易改登機門，但是登機門有時候也還要從A航廈搭接駁車到B航廈，由此可知有多遙遠了。

★順便提醒大家，香港機場每個航廈不僅大，還有很多名牌免稅店、保養品免稅店、特產、咖啡店、餐廳等櫃位，數量多到比桃園機場多很多，就像個outlet shopping mall！

想掃名牌貨的盆友記得趁這個時候狠狠得掃～掃～掃吧！

Taiwan Over the Weekend: My 2-Day Itinerary

Since November 2017, Filipino tourists have been experiencing the privilege of being visa-free to Taiwan. We can surely maximize the given 14 days of stay as Taiwan is just a small country. But with the policy nearing to its end (as it’s only for a 1-year trial) and the responsibilities we have at home (work and expenses, you know), having this desired holiday seems quite unattainable. But fret no more as news of extension has been confirmed. You don’t need to be out for a long time as well since (almost) every famous sights you need to see are within reach and can be done for just a couple of days!

Read more about the visa-free extension for Filipinos here: http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/28/18/taiwan-extends-visa-free-entry-for-philippines-thailand-brunei

Yes, you read it right. A quick Taiwan getaway is achievable. I actually have done it and ‘twas just over the weekend. There’s no need to apply for leaves and budget wouldn’t be a big issue. Below are some helpful information about the trip and listed as well is my itinerary with estimated expenses.

 How to Get To Taiwan?

Taiwan is just very close, located north of the Philippines. A 2-hour plane ride will take you to its capital through our local carriers like Cebu Pacific, Air Asia Phil, and Philippine Airlines. Just visit their sites to check the schedule that suits you.

 How to Get to the City Center (Taipei) from Taoyuan International Airport?

For convenience, taxis and Grab are available but with a steep price since the city center is located more than 30KM away from the airport. Cheaper options would be the Airport MRT and Bus 1819. Please take note though that the Airport MRT only runs before midnight. The Bus 1819 runs 24 hours so you’ll never have a problem if you arrive later than that. Fare is NTD125 (PHP220 / USD4) one way.

 Taipei Main Station

Transportation in Taipei

Commuting around the capital is very easy and efficient. Their transit system can easily get you from one place to another. Just download a map online or get one from the airport or any of the MRT stations and you’re good to go. We actually use their MRT all throughout our city tour and it was such a convenience for us especially that we are limited in time.

We availed a Taipei Metro 1-day pass for only NTD150 (PHP260 / USD5) to use on our DIY city tour. You can get one at the Information Counter of any MRT Station.

 Day 1: Arrival + Northern Taiwan Day Tour

2:05AM – Arrival (Bus fare to Taipei Main Station – NTD125 (PHP220 / USD4))

4:00AM – Late check-in (New May Flower Hotel – walkable from Taipei Main Station, the last stop for Bus 1819)

8:00AM – Breakfast at McDonald’s – NTD150 (PHP265 / USD5)

9:00AM-6:00PM – Jiufen, Yehliu and Shifen Day Tour via Kkday – NTD800 (PHP1,420 / USD26)

You can definitely do this on DIY but we opted with a tour arranged by Kkday for convenience.

 Yehliu Geopark is one of the most iconic destinations in Northern Taiwan due to its unique geological formations. The most famous formation here is the “Queen’s Head” that we were not able to take a snapshot with due to the long queue.

We just settled with the replica. LOL!

 Shifen is another touristy destination famous for its sky lanterns. They say that the wish you write on these lanterns as you set them to the sky will come true.

Shifen is also known for its street food and other local delicacies.

I’m lovin’ this Peanut Ice Cream Roll!

The railway station is worthy of shot with its dramatic and rustic look. The nearby marketplace on the other hand serves as a pit stop for those who are hungry and looking for souvenir items.

Jiufen might be the most famous destination among the three and probably the site people are looking forward to the most. With the location said to be the inspiration of Hayao Miyazaki’s Academy award-winning animated film “Spirited Away”, this old mining town in the Northeast Mountains of New Taipei City is now an art and culinary haven.  

A long up and down alleyway that leads to different lefts and rights full of authentic tea houses, local restaurants, and souvenir stalls will definitely make your eyes and tummy full with delight.

Our Kkday bus

  Day 2: DIY-Taipei City Tour

We checked out early since we’re going to be out the whole day and just left our luggage on the reception area.

8:00AM – Breakfast @ Mos Burger in Taipei Main Station – NTD200 (PHP350 / USD7)

9:00AM – Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall

Opening hours: 9:00AM-6:00PM daily except for Chinese New Year Eve and Chinese New Year

No entrance fee

Changing of the Guards happens every hour until 5:00PM

How To Get Here: Take the MRT Red Line from Taipei Main Station to Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall Station.

 11:00AM – Ximending Shopping District

Ximending Shopping District is a famous shopping place here in Taipei. Countless cosmetic stores, boutiques, souvenir shops, restaurants, and street food stalls are scattered around this area.

How to Get Here: Take the MRT Green Line from Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall Station to Ximen Station. Ximen Station is also connected through the Blue line. Just check the map and take the line that is closer to you.

 You haven’t been to Taiwan if you didn’t eat at the Modern Toilet Restaurant. This weirdly-themed restaurant that mimics a restroom is a famous eat-out place known for its Instagram-worthy interiors and dishes. The food was not that remarkable for me but the experience definitely paid off. Due to the hype, it’s expected that the price would not come affordable. I was able to spend roughly around NTD400 (PHP700 / USD13) for my meal.

How to Get Here: They have a branch somewhere in Ximending District. Download offline Google Maps beforehand for convenience.

 Tianhou Temple – This temple is right in the core of Ximending Shopping District.

How to Get Here: From Ximen Station, just walk straight along Chengdu Road.

 2:00PM – Longshan Temple – This is one of the most famous temples here in Taipei that is being flocked by tourists every day.

No entrance fee but donations are highly encouraged

Opening Hours: 6AM-10PM

How to Get Here: Ride the MRT Blue Line to Longshan Temple Station. Take Exit 1 where you can find Longshan Temple north of the station plaza.

 4:00PM – Elephant Mountain – I would advise you to get here on the late afternoon so you can see the view while the sun is up until sunset and night time. The hike normally takes about 20-30 minutes.

No need to pay anything to enter or climb the mountain.

How to Get Here: Take the MRT Blue Line from Longshan Temple Station to Taipei Main Station then switch to MRT Red Line. Drop off at Xiangshan Station and take Exit 2. It would take you around 10 minutes of walk from the station to the base of the trek.

 7:00PM – Taipei 101 – This skyscraper that used to be the world’s tallest building, is a financial center with observatory decks on the 89th and 91st floors and a massive shopping mall on its bottom floors. We didn’t get to the observatory deck anymore since we’re on a budget. The view of the Taipei skyline from the Elephant Mountain was enough for us already.

How to Get Here: It’s just one station away from MRT Red Line Xiangshan Station. Alight at MRT Red Line Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station. If you’re coming from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall or MRT Blue Line Taipei City Hall Station, Taipei 101 is walkable from there.

The Starbucks here in Taipei 101 is a must visit as it is considered as the highest branch of theirs. Located on the 35th floor of this skyscraper, this coffee shop doesn’t just offer your usual favorite Starbucks drink and pastries but an astounding view as well. Take in mind though that you need a reservation before coming here. A minimum spend requirement and a time limit are also being implemented here. Wearing slippers and shorts are also not allowed.

 8:00PM – Shilin Night Market – From countless street food stalls, restaurants, boutiques, souvenir stores, and specialty shops, this vast night market has been making names to be the largest and most famous night market in Taipei. It’s so big that we don’t know where to go when we got there.

How to Get Here: Ride the MRT Red Line and alight at Jiantan Station (not to be confused with Xilin Station – It would be quite a long walk from there).

 10:00PM – Raohe Night Market – As if Shilin Night Market was still not enough for us, we just couldn’t skip Raohe Night Market as this long stretch of street food and souvenir items is a must visit.

How to Get Here: Take the MRT Green Line then drop off at Songshan Station. It’ll be a short walk from there to Raohe Night Market.

You’re hitting two birds in one stone by getting here in Raohe Night Market as you will able to visit a famous temple as well, the Ciyou temple.

  Below are some of the destinations that you can still include on the city tour. Unfortunately, we were not able to visit them despite of being part of the plan. It was continuously raining when we were there making it difficult for us to roam around.

Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall

Opening hours: 9:00AM-6:00PM daily except for Chinese New Year Eve and Chinese New Year

Changing of the Guards is around 5:00PM

How To Get Here: Ride the MRT Blue Line and get off at S.Y.S. Memorial Hall Station. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is walkable from Taipei 101.

Dalongdong Bao’an Temple

Opening Hours: 6:30AM-10:30PM

No entrance fee but donations are highly encouraged

Nearest MRT Station: MRT Red Line Yuanshan Station

Ningxia Night Market

Opening Hours: 5:00PM-1:00AM

How to Get Here: Drop off at MRT Green Line Zhongshan Station then walk from there

 As stressful as it looks, this itinerary actually worked for us. I would want to stay longer but saving my leave credits was more of a priority that time. This very quick weekend getaway turned out well anyway and we surely maximized our stay. My pocket money of NTD2,800 (PHP5,000 / USD93) was enough for me. I actually had NTD100 left. Since the visa-free policy has been extended, I am now much willing to apply for a leave to fully experience this beautiful island nation.
