I missed visiting this Tien Lai Hot Spring Resort but Jacky did. #@&%$*@!! Alright! Forgiven him since he brought back some nice shots. Like the spectacular view over the crests and slopes of Yangmingshan National Park.

A hot spring pool at 40.7 degree Celsius. I ever got into nude hot springs in Taipei. The hot spring receptionist gave us a small towel and a face mask each to cover our face so that no one could recognise us in nude =_=”… Quite true, in case there are some hidden cameras in the hot springs!!

Welcome 2 Taiwan

Gotcha! I AM NOT IN TAIWAN NOW.. XD These photos were taken sometimes ago.

Taipei 101 (台北101) is currently the world’s tallest inhabited building standing at 509.2 m. A panoramic shot from the observation deck. Breathtaking, isn’t it?

The design of Taipei 101 is inspired by bamboo plant, an icon of learning and growth. And Chinese like the lucky number eight, as you can count in this photo, there are eight clearly delineated exterior sections of the building. If you are observant, you can even see at least a Chinese ingot on the lower exterior of this tower.

Someone asks me to post some scenic view of Taiwan. I have this scenic panoramic photo after stitching  the successive shots that were taken from our hotel room. This is a nice view of vast Pacific Ocean. Click on image to enlarge or scroll left-right.

Taipei (台北市) is the capital of Taiwan. It’s easy to travel around Taipei city. We toured around the city by taxi most of the time as it’s convenient and reasonably cheap. In the past, I only heard Singapore National Service men going to Taiwan for army training. In the recent years, more and more Singaporeans like to visit Taiwan. Perhaps we have been watching a lot of Taiwanese entertainment shows and got inspired to see the island?

Simply Irresistible.

Shilin Night Market is the largest and most famous night market in Taipei city. There are two sectors: one is a food court and the other one has specialty shops. At Shilin Night Market Food Court, the Taiwanese sell all kind of innovative foods such as (大餅包小餅) a small bun wrapped in a big bun.
