Taiwan Taichung Fengjia 逢甲夜市

Welcome to Taiwan

 Taoyuan Airport



Ubus ticket to the HSR station. just follow to signs and walk to the counter.
We collect our HSR ticket at the second or floor, prebook as it is much cheaper.
We also bought a 3G sim card at the airport. Just walk left and you will see a few counter. Bought the 7-days unlimited internet.
Remember to ask them to activate the card for you before you leave. It will be troublesome to call and activiate.
There are several different packages for unlimited 3G internet for 7 days, it costs 500 NTD around 20+ sgd.We decide to stay at Taichung for the night as it was too late to travel to Alishan as we arrived at 7pm. Took a train to taichung . We wanted to visit Taichung is because we heard about how interesting fengjia night market is.

Tomato Hostel. Very big spacious. There is a living room.
We took a free shuttle bus from HSR to fengjia market, the bus took around 30-45mins and  we walked 10-15 minutes to tomato hostel.

Simple but delicious breakfast.



The views from our room.

The "elephant" hill

Minsu owner helped us to take a lot of photos

There is a little bamboo forest beside the minsu. Great place for photo taking.
Love my stay at seasonstar. It is a very pretty minsu with friendly owners. It is a good place to just sit back and relax and enjoy the fantastic view without feeling bored.
The minsu owner and taxi driver was not touristy at all.
The itinerary was catered to your needs and they are also friendly and ready to help out.
The food was simple but delicious.


Enjoying the scenery on the way to Chiayi Station

Bought some snacks back home to try.
First was the tapioca. I quite like the taste of it.
Second, 奮起湖火車餅. Good as gifts as the packaging is good. 
third, was barbecue pork.




Taking at stroll in the garden again. There are so many beautiful flowers.
We had persimmons as we requested the taxi driver to bring us to a place to buy fruits. The minsu owner volunteer to help us to cut up the fruits when we wanted to borrow a knife and do it ourselves. so nice of them.
