Check out the flowers!
We also got the chance to visit the Ah Mei Zhu tribe, one of Taiwan's indigenous tribes.Don in colourful costumes and some feathers,they danced and sang in a language which sounded like baby talk,it was a nice performance nevertheless. Enjoyed it =)
During the Taiwan Lantern Festival(臺灣燈會), thousands of sky lanterns light over the township of Pingsi (平溪). Got a mere taste of what the festival is like by lighting up 2(how pathetic) of the lanterns at one of our resorts.It was truely a sight to behold as we lit them ourselves and watch them rose into the heavens.
Taiwan has nice streets! And they look really stunning at night.Imagine,you're standing at one end of the street and the whole stretch in front of you is lined with bright and vivid lights with people walking around and running their errands.Nice
Got to visit the big 101! This remarkable skyscraper looks its best at night.Didn't get to scale to the top though,no time! But I've got to go there on a new year's eve! It's fireworks display is second to none.Taipei 101 received the Emporis Skyscraper Award in 2004. It has been hailed as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World (Newsweek magazine, 2006) and Seven Wonders of Engineering.(Discovery Channel)
Did i mention the Taiwanese? They are probably one of the friendliest bunch of Asians around! Everyone i met,be it stall owners,taxi drivers,waiters and even the policemen were very courteous and welcoming.Last but certainly not least,what's a trip to Taiwan without visiting their night market? In particular,their famous Shilin Market.You name it,they have it.Clothes,accessories,toys,games,souvenirs,displays and,of course,a myriad of delicacies.My favourite part of the whole trip was actually photographing the people and their food!
If you're travelling to Taiwan,just remember to bring your camera =)
