Day 2 - Danshui, Yu ren man tou and Beitou

On the second day, we headed off to Danshui which is at the north of Taipei. From there we took a boat to Yu Ren Man Tou, which is famous for its Lover's bridge. Nothing much there actually, but was said that taiwan idol serials like to go to that bridge for filming. At the harbour at Danshui

With Xiyue's mom and Xuehui





The mountain behind was known as Guanyin shan. Becos from certain angle, it looks like a sleeping Guanyin.


Danshui is famous for their danshui yu yuan..but that i dun find it nice. Its quite hard actually. Not as Q and as soft as those from Singapore.


Another famouse food item is the Ah Po Tien Dan. Its some kind of perserve egg. didnt try one thou.

The boat ride took about 15 mins and we reached Yu Ren Man Tou

The Lover's bridge




We didnt get to try the famous Hao Da Da Ji Pa at Shilin and we saw a branch at Yu Ren Man Tou! It didnt taste as good as we expected. Its very salty actually

We also went to try the super long ice cream.


Erm...it only lasted me less than 3 mins...cos after a few licks, the whole ice cream jsut topple over.... duhz...after that, we made our way to the tallest ferris wheel in taiwan!


Its really very high, but the ride was fast. We were so busy taking photos, that we didnt really enjoy the scenery...lol


Look at the height!!

At night, we went to the night market near Xiyue's house for dinner. We tried their oyster mee suan and its very nice!!!


We also went to try their famous Hu Shu Zhang's Ru Ruo Fan (braised meat rice)
The four of us.


Afetr dinner, we headed down to beitou for their hot spring. Its kinda disappointing as their so call hot spring is like a hotel room with jacuzzi except that the waters are hot spring water
