Anston — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:41:04 +0000

Qing Jing has many tourist favorite spots & recreation area, especially the most well-known places is up up the hill: Green Green Grassland

The View of all the land

The place is covered with green grass as like the above picture looks like, then the background are the famous mountains, the scenery was beautiful & is cool up there too. The first day we reached Qing Jing, we took the local transit according to their schedule and reach here. We started from up the hill, there are lots of sheeps, cute sheeps & baby sheeps can easily seen all around. Of course you may hug them if you want, hahaha… you may feed them as well, just grab some grass from the ground will do, more pictures as below:

They are greedy actually

Jesse is trying to attract one of them!

Camwhore with the sheeps, girls love to do it!

Here keeps all the small sheeps for tourist visit

We came here not just only to watch or feed the sheep, there is a “Cowboy” show event on every weekends! Most of the locals love to watch the show, only here you can find “Taiwan Cowboy”. Before the show started…

Yes, everyone is sitting down & waiting

Back Hills

Taiwanese? or Foreigners??

Let me do some shortcut here, the show includes introduction of the Sheep, like how to diffrent shape the males & females sheep, about their mature lar, foods lar, bla~ bla~ bla~ and also the cowboy will demo with his “Pal” (Black Dog) how to made the sheep move up the hill & come down again.

Let’s Move it Move It~

Counting on the Sheep

The show is still not over yet! Here is some more…

Rope Show

I think the audience is more aware of the newbie, lol

Don’t practice this at home!

Getting Dark & Cool~

This is not end of the post yet, because we did come back to this place on the next day morning & lots of stuff too.

The sun in Taiwan was very brighten in the morning, i was hardly used my camera focus on it. It feels good while capturing the beautiful sunrise moment on highland. Well, there is also a “behind scene” of taking this photo.

I was been told by the management that the sunrise will appears on 5:45am! (Man, it was so damn early!) Yes, i manage to wake up on 5:30am, set my gears & ready to ROLL~ Suddenly, a “Miao~ Miao~” sounds came out from the balcony, a cat is waiting! Jesse was awaken because of this cute little friend.

Miao~ Miao~ Let me in!

The Revenge

Poor little thing, i let the cat came in to go out through the main door. But Jesse came out & grab it immedietly, says: is this the stupid cat so bising~~~ LOL

Dream Forrest Villa 梦幻山林 @ Qing Jing(清境), Taiwan

Anston — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:24:13 +0000

We left Tai Chong on the early morning, then take the public bus to 埔里 Bus Station. From this station, you can go to the Sun Moon Lake & other interest places too! After an hour of bus ride, reach the bus stop of the villa, but still needed to walk a distance with our heavy luggage. So here we are…

The Dream Forrest Villa

My very first night at the Qing Jing, Dream Forrest Villa. Is Beautiful & Luxury Villa…

Close-up Shots for the Bee

Now, let’s take a view on the outside. I prefer to spend more time on their garden, because the weather is not too hot & sky are blue. The flowers & the hill scenery caugh my breathe everytime i look into it, i can’t stop my camera shutter.

I love this scene alot

Our Tea Time

The Flowers & Moutain

The Dream Forrest Villa stands on a high spot, made a very wide view of the scenery, can see all the popular mountain at once such as: 合欢山，奇莱山，能高山。

Feng Chia Night Market @ Tai Chung, Taiwan

Anston — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:57:31 +0000

Yes, i’d arrived in Taiwan! I meet up with Jesse after taking my luggage on the lobby, we quickly buy bus ticket heading to Tai Chung. But i’m abit tired after the 4 hours flight by MH.

Here is my Taiwan first visit place: Feng Chia Night Market

The Starting Point

In Taiwan, night market is very common in every places. Especially on weekends, you will be having a “Human Traffic Jam” on this type of night market. No Joke! I was quite hungry by the time, so i quickly look for some hot soup smoothies to warm up my stomach, here i found:

Dang Gui Duck Noodle

Fried Oyster Egg

I like the noodles & the Dong Gui herbal taste soup, but the Fried Oyster is abit sweet. Next, there are also some “Weird Weird” foods around here, but i can say there are more variety you can choose or have it all I was very curious about the locals having their foods by walking on the streets, although it was so damn packed & squeeze. The foods taste average & the price is cheap too! i might say most of the goods sold here are not to expensive, yes you can still bargain with them! Muahaha~

Bloody Cake (Dare to try?)

Satay (Oh?! Apa ini?)

Local Sausage

Cheessy Shrimps

There are too many foods stall and many variety, can’t have it all in once. So in the end, i pick this one:

Jesse & The Cheessy Shrimps

When it comes to listing the famous night markets in Taiwan, the Feng Chia night market in Taichung would definitely rank as one of the largest. The market spreads over a wide area along the Wunhua Road, FuXing Road and Feng Chia Road. Rows of shops line along the main road and the side streets in a dense network of restaurants, vendor stalls, cafes and chain stores. Being located near the Feng Chia University and the Chinese institute of Technology, the market is ever bustling with the university students, for whom the market is a haven for hanging out and window shopping.

The Feng Chia Night Market starts buzzing in the evening, and the thickness of its crowd increases by the hour. In fact, around thirty to forty thousand shoppers come here everyday, and the number actually doubles on the weekends and holidays. The market hosts a varied crowd that includes a strange mixture of tourists, students, elderly housewives or even local ruffians.

The Heavy Traffic

And also the Human Traffic

You will find your selection LOL

The Famous Chicken Chop (But very Long Q man!)

Late night still the same

In the late night, the night market is still crowded. Many shops are still in business hour, i heard the local said they usually closed on 1am or 2am. I had a wonderful experience their night market, compared to our local longest night market Taman Connaught, is just a small part of it! Believe me

Our Hotel

This is the hotel we stay in Tai Chung, Champs Hotel. We need to stay here for 1 night, next day will be going to Qing Jing Highland! Yahoo~~~

Visit Taiwan 2009, 10days!

My Travel to Taiwan

Many pictures will be uploaded very soon, so sorry for the delay due to heavy work in the office.

I’d went to Taipei, Tai Chong, Qing Jing Mountain, Ri Yue Tang(Sun Moon Lake), Hua Lian… It was a tired trip especially the last 2days. I believe as the picture above will let you know the places i went & visited!

So… Stay Tuned

The Unforgetable

Anston — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:46:15 +0000

I was travelling to Taiwan on last week since the Raya holiday started, away from Malaysia for 10days. I can only said one word to my trip: SYOKNYA~~~

Luckily Jesse able to guide me all day long on the trip, special thanks for her arrangement & i’m really proud to be there with her.

Many places we had went & left some places which we couldnt make it due to lag of time, but i will replace it soon on December this year for my second visit to Taiwan I like the night market over there, each of the town had night market, is business daily & very huge coverage too. Of course i won’t forgotten the beautiful scenery of some mountains & beaches.

There always some “unforgetable” memories during our travels or journeys, i had a very unique one to share with you all.

The most pain & gatal things i had travel in my life is this, kena bitten by a local small freaking mosquito! I got it during having lunch at nearby the Taroko, Hua Lian restaurant. I couldn’t seen it flying or landing on my legs, but do feel very gatal & some cherry red marks appeared seconds by seconds. I told my tour guide about this, then he said this is the famous local mosquito bite. It is small, hard to see it through eyes, is very strong too the poison they left to me!!!

Back to hotel, i found out this piece of MEMO. Saying the bite of this mosquito will leave the spots for over 10 days! Yeah~ is correct. The Red Cherry spot is still with me now, believe it or not?

I had been travelling with buses, taxi, train & also with my leg too! Started from Taipei -> Tai Chong -> Qing Jing -> Re Yue Tang Lake -> Taipei -> Hual Lian -> Taipei. But didn’t had a visit to the South sites. It was not a good move while you were tarik your huge luggage sounds like “kik kok kik kok” on the streets to your hotel or destinations. But this also makes me feels more like travelling, not too bad at all. Especially on the last day i need to check in to airport early on the morning 6am, wake up on 4:30am then “kik kok kik kok” all the way to the bus station within 20mins.

Lastly is i do collect back some of the hotel instant Coffee & tea Bags, not to say curi lar! I found out their local instant coffee was not too sweet, taste good too. Along the trip or days in Taiwan, every meal serve with Tea only. The people there are more likely to have tea rather than some carbonite drinks. I do like their bubble milk tea as well, you can tell them to put less sugar.

Ok, more pictures will be served sooner. I was quite busy in office after the long holidays, hope i can gain more extra time to arrange my photos.

I’m AWAY… to far far away…
