Taiwan Day 6

I have too many posts on Taiwan vacation and I feel a bit sorry to people that don't want to read them, spoiler maybe. We did not use any tour driver service whenever the places that we want to go are reachable within MRT, bus route and short walk. On day 6, our route was pretty simple; National Palace Museum, CKS Memorial Hall and SYS Memorial Hall. So we took the public transport on that day. We were not going to use any MRT again on the next day so we will refund the amount of money we still have in Easycard at the end of the day today.

To reach National Palace Museum, it was not as simple as the other two. We had to board a bus to the museum after getting down from MRT at Shilin station. We spent very long time in the museum because we were interested in historical stuff. We looked at everything on the first floor for almost 2 hours and I told Weeliem that we had to move a little faster or else we would not able to go out of this place for lunch. My stomach already started grumbling , making noises as we went on. Luckily we made it out from the place at 1 plus. No photography is allowed in the museum and they really own a lot of artifacts and historical documents in there.



We did not know what to eat for lunch so we simply walked into a restaurant to try. It was so weird, there weren't any restaurant at all around Shilin station except for this little shop that sells beef noodle and rice. So that's it! We went in and ordered the beef rice and noodle. I always love their rice, the fat and round shape rice very similar to Japanese's.

After that we took the MRT to Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall. It was a very hot day and I used umbrella all the times at outdoor.



At CKS Memorial Hall, they have 2 frozen guards at each side of the door. They barely move at all even the eyes. This guard on the left was a little unluckly compared to the one on the right. He received this fiery sun light directly on him. He even put on lib balm for protection!

I mentioned before today was very hot but we saw these pity children having some sort of activity like "merentas desa" at the Liberty Square just outside of the memorial hall.


Next destination was Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall.


One of the few rememberance statue of Sun Yat Sen, the people called him kuo fu. I don't know what that supposed to means, probably something like father of the country.


We got a pretty good view of the full Taipei 101 building from here compared to the raining and freezing day on the first night.






After all the memorial halls, we went to Wufenpu for the last shopping spree before heading back to Malaysia.

We stayed in Ximen so we always got down at Ximending at the last stop.



Today we tried the famous "Ah Chung flour rice noodle". We love the bowl of goodies so much.




The last photo of today is on the girl who played drum at the side way illegally to save money to make her own album. Some people might had seen her in videos that someone posted in youtube.


One more last post on Taiwan soon!
