清境農場 + 墾丁 10/9 - 13/9

Woke up and travelled to 台中 with my big backpack. After about 2 hours, we reached 台中and met up with Xinrong's friend Miki. With that, we travelled for another 2 hours to our destination, 清境農場.

The weather there was so nice! It is so cooling but not too cold. Exactly what I wanted to experience when I came to Taiwan.

After leaving our bags at the accomodation, we went to 青青草原. What to do there? Very simple.

Get close to the sheeps! The sheeps here are free to roam so you can just go close to them and snap some pictures. There are also vending machines that sell sheep feed so that you can feed them.

There is also a shop where they sell 羊奶 and their products. There's even ice cream! Finally I got to drink my 羊奶. Haven't drank it for so long and they have it here! Super happy.

青青草原 closes at 5pm so we went to 小瑞士花園 after that. By the time we walked there, it was already dark. I forgot to bring my camera flash so no good pictures at night. :( But the night view is really very pretty! 小瑞士花園 isn't very big, so we came out very fast. The exit leads to a souvenir shop called Carton King. The things they sell inside are really interesting. All made of paper or cardboard. They even sell paper lights. I bought the Eiffel Tower one, but I'm only going to assemble it when I get back to Singapore.

The next day, we woke up early to go to 小瑞士花園 again, this time to see the day view. I can say it's really different. Actually we wanted to catch the sunrise but none of us could wake up. :/

It's the pinwheel festival apparently, so there were many exhibits that are all made of pinwheels.

After that, we travelled to 墾丁. We couldn't bear to leave 清境 actually :( But if we don't go 墾丁 now I don't think we will have the chance to go anymore.

It was a very very long ride down. Around 4 hours. By the time we reached it was already the evening, and we are all very hungry. To solve this, we went to the night market!

Ate so much until I was so full but the food is nice! Bought some souvenirs as well.

The next day! The main reason why we came to 墾丁 haha. After breakfast, we went to...

 yup the beach! and did so many water activities. We bought the unlimited package that entitles us to every activity offered, including snorkeling, jetskiing (but of course with the coach), banana boat, etc. The result? we were all sunburnt quite badly. But it was really satisfying!

At night we settled our dinner at the night market again. This time trying the 鹽酥雞 that the guesthouse owner recommended.

Take note of this yellow signboard!

Yup. At night we all crashed because we were all so tired from the water activities. Haha.

Woke up on the last day and it was quite a rush. Had to rush back to school for a health check-up, so we had to take the HSR. Took a taxi to 左營 HSR station and bought our tickets. The ticket is really expensive. 1160NTD for the journey to Hsinchu. But it took really fast to reach! only 1 hour 30 minutes.

And this marks the end of our short trip. After the health examination we all went back to our rooms to rest because we were so tired (and sunburnt) to do anything else.
