21 22 23 Taipei' 2014 Day 2 - Tourist style 24 25

I named this post as "Tourist Style" because on this 2nd Day of my trip..

We booked Uncle Xu's cab for 8 hours for TWD 3300. TWD 300 is meant for road tax.

He's so nice that he even bought fruits for the boy & I
It's pretty worth it, if you go in 4 persons group.

From Shi Fen - Jiu Fen - Gold Mine - Waterfall - Wu Fen Pu Night Market.
(PS: you can tell him where you wanna go and he will plan a good route on the way & bring you around.)
Read on.. I will tell you how to contact him & get discount!

Shi Fen is the place where you can put Sky Lantern (天灯).

Write your wish & send it up to whomever above.
It's only about TWD 100-200 depends on colour.

I sent mine to Jesus HAHAHA!

And special tea for my darling, only available at Jiu Fen

It's a famous-healthy-tea which cost 3 boxes TWD 3000.

It's cheaper if you by 3 boxes at once.

1 box is about SGD42+

It's called "台灣之寶"

The boy & I doesn't eat Yam but we eat this.

Yam without the disgusting texture, if you know what I meant?

So don't blacklist it the moment you know it's Yam, give it a try (:

After Jiu Fen, walked back to find Uncle Xu and he start to drive us around.

Totally love what he planned.

He brought us to a place where we can touch gold.

No entrance fee.

Right near the entrance, they have an interesting Japanese house.

It was built since 1940s, right there, destroyed & revamp all over again.

It's called "Four-joined Japanese Style Residence"

I love History, it kinda runs in the blood of my family.

It has 4 houses joined together.

The houses are built & designed according to the ranking of the soldiers.

 Okay gold touching time~
These is how gold was first found in Taiwan.

It worth TWD 27,691,700  = SGD 654,908,705
Weight: 257 gram.
I can't even push it.
Photos are limited because after us, there came a China women and her Taiwanese Husband.
They keep taking picture and created a queue right behind.
Inconsiderate much, as you can see from above, you're suppose to only put one hand in..
The women put two. $.$
HAHA don't understand. 

Okay moving on.. next stop is a Waterfall.
Oh yes~ that's Uncle Xu.

Finally back in Taipei City.
Shopping Time at Wufenpu.
Didn't get much stuff.
We were famished and decided to have 胡须张 (鬍鬚張 Formosa Chang ) for dins.

Famous for Minced pork rice (卤肉饭).
Nearest Station: Hou Shan Pi.
I don't fancy Minced pork rice (卤肉饭) but the boy love it.
I had curry rice, yummy!

Side dishes.

Main course.

Now is the discount sharing time!
Uncle Xu was introduced by my gf, Ansley.
Hence, I got discount & free fruits.
Usual price if you booked a cab for 8 hours its TWD 4000 and above, exclude standard road tax TWD 300.

But Uncle Xu offer me TWD 3300 (incl. road tax) + Free fresh fruits.
Now.. it's your turn!
Call Xu Shu Shu and tell hi, you're "Qiu xue's " friend and remind him to give you free fruits!
