Travel in Taiwan (2016, 1/2)
Have your camera ready when boarding the ferry to Qijin Island at Gushan Ferry Pier. Locals stream onto the lower parking-lot deck on scooters (you go to the upper deck, via a separate entrance). The ride across the narrow, ship-packed Kaohsiung Harbor is so quick that many don’t bother to get off their machines. Qijin Island is a 9km-long silt-created giant sandbar that serves as a breakwater and defines the harbor’s form. Its tourist area is on the north end, beyond the ferry pier.
Qihou Lighthouse, a snow-white 11-meter-high Baroque-style tower erected by the Japanese in 1916, stands at the edge of a sea-facing cliff guarding the harbor’s exceedingly narrow north-end mouth. Enthralling views of the busy harbor can be enjoyed as ships squeeze by below. The old Qihou Battery, on the west side of the hill, was built by a justifiably anxious Qing Dynasty government in the 1870s, fearful of invasion by the Japanese or Western powers.
The young, expansive, and still-growing Pier-2 Art Center (pier-2.khcc.gov.tw), a special zone that is at the heart of the city’s cultural-creative bloom, has become one of its most popular attractions. The numerous old, renovated Kaohsiung Harbor warehouses here, long abandoned, were formerly used to store such goods as fish meal and granulated sugar. Today they are cultural-creative incubator stages for domestic and international exhibitions, festivals, live indoor and outdoor musical, theatrical, and busker performances, and large-scale outdoor installation artworks and graffiti-style/3D murals, many wonderfully quirky and whimsical, some created by artists-in-residence.
The king of Kaohsiung has long been, and remains, the lofty 85 Sky Tower, which looks like a giant spacecraft propped atop two massive booster rockets, ready to launch. Two spanking-new structures, Kaohsiung Exhibition Center (kecc.com.tw) and Kaohsiung Main Public Library (ksml.edu.tw), are within easy walking distance. The park-surrounded harborside exhibition facility looks like a paean to Beijing’s iconic Bird’s Nest. Be sure to visit the green library’s lovely 8F rooftop hanging garden, which has a fine broad view of the harbor and Qijin.
What’s not to love about the Love River? On my first few visits, in the 1990s, it was a brackish “waterway” in which the water moved little, if at all. Today, thanks to dedicated eco-engineering, it is clean, the waters flow freely, and fish have returned. The landscaped banks are lined with benches, bike- and pedestrian-friendly paths, and attractive lamp lighting. The mood is best at night, when the cafés, bars, and small eateries are brightly lit up.

Travel in Taiwan (2016, 1/2)

Just Sleep, a young, growing Taiwan chain of moderately priced businessperson-oriented boutique hotels offering 5-star services and amenities, specializes in transforming middle-aged high-rises into bright, sparkling, stylishly modern accommodation facilities. While following a strict regime of standardized rules – the “mini-chain” has been introduced by the group that runs the upscale Regent Hotels & Resorts chain – individual owners are free to customize their properties to reflect their personalities.
At Just Sleep Kaohsiung Zhongzheng, the two major personal-touch themes are music and vegetarian food. In the lobby you’re met with Western piano music played “live” by a pianola. Classical Western music is played through the day in the comfy second-floor reading room, which can be seen from the lobby. Ease into the plush sofa seating and avail yourself of the library materials and free coffees, juices, and snacks. Adjoining this is the soundproofed music room, outfitted with sofa seating, high-end individual headphone/CD player sets, and hundreds of varied-genre CDs.
The Regent group has a reputation for first-rate food, and as evidence of the quality of Just Sleep Zhongzheng’s single restaurant, Double Veggie, management says about 80% of diners are non-guests. International cuisine with a mix of Southeast Asian and Italian condiments, spices, and seasonings is served. Note that meat selections are available at the breakfast buffet. (Rooms start at NT$2,800; free buffet breakfast.)

VLOG - Visiting Taipei, Taiwan! (台北) Part 3
April - May 2016
Video recorded in the end of April - beginning of May. The third and final part of our trip to Taiwan. We visited Beitou Hot Spring area, ate delicious beef noodle soup and Mongolian style hot pot. Details in the description below ~
——
Tao-Yuan-Street Beef Noodle Shop
We went searching for amazing beef noodle soup and we got recommended this place. Or at least I think it was this place haha. I can’t really read Chinese characters, but I remember walking up those narrow stairs. Anyways, It was really cheap and the noodles were awesome so we were happy!
Beitou Hot Springs
Beitou (north of Taipei) is known for its hot springs and natural green spaces. Xin Beitou (New Beitou) was developed as a hot spring resort during the Japanese era. Besides hot springs, there are lot’s of other things to see, such as the Beitou Hot Springs Museum, Qinshui Park, Thermal Valley (or Hell Valley) and more. We visited Spring City Resort where you can wear swimsuits, so we could all go together. You pay a fee and then you can relax at their hot spring area for the day. You can also buy drinks. It was really empty when we visited so we got the place almost all to ourselves. Lucky!

Spring City Resort:
Tiansian Restaurant (天香回味養生鍋總店) - Mongolian Hot Pot
We were in the mood for some hot pot, so we found this place pretty close to our hotel and Linsen park. I’ve never been to Mongolia so I don’t know how authentic this was, but I really liked it. I loved all the spices and ingredients. Simple, tasty and satisfying. Altho I really missed the sesame sauce that I’m used to have with hot pot. No sauce here! The sweed “noodle” cakes or whatever they were, they were really good! A bit difficult to eat tho :’D
Then it was time for us to go back to Japan again!
