You can read this post to find out what made us book an expensive hotel. Our end destination was Taichung, which is about a 2 hours drive south of Taoyuan Airport. Along the way, we stopped by a popular local stall (三義三十年豆花) in Sanyi for lunch. This place is known for its Peanut Soya Beancurd, as well as Hakka dishes which seemed to be a common cuisine in this part of Taiwan. While I was collecting the WiFi, my partner was a short distance away, at another counter collecting our prebooked rental car.
Steam rises presumably from the injection of a small cold water stream from above. We buy eggs boiled in the water from a 73-year-old local woman and eat them on the spot. Taipeh 101 was the tallest building in the world from when it was 地瓜酥 completed in 2004 until 2010 when it was exceeded by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Now it ranks only about 9th – there is apparently a tower almost twice its height going up in Saudi Arabia, due completion next year.
Kids can test their building skills at the Creative Workshop, and can even tour the LEGO® factory and take a ‘fresh’ piece of LEGO® home as a souvenir. An additional perk of visiting for Australians is seeing Miniland, where you can see more than 18 of Japan’s most iconic sights recreated by 10,496,352 LEGO® pieces. The Chimei Museum is an impressive structure, housing an impressive private collection of some 4000 items. The outside space of the museum is an artwork on itself, you can walk around for free and view the various sculptures, fountains, ponds and gardens. The exhibits include animal and bird taxidermy and fossils, weapons and armour, musical instruments, ancient clocks and Western art. We spent a couple of hours viewing the exhibits, but this remarkable collection, so very well presented deserves more like a full day.
Located off the eastern coast of Taiwan, Green Island is a natural hub for endless outdoor activities. It is particularly famous for a cave that serves as home to a stalagmite said to resemble the Goddess of Mercy. Other notable wonders include the hot saltwater springs as well as the coastline's coral reefs that offer a fascinating experience to scuba divers and snorkelers.

Public collections can be seen by the public, including other shoppers, and may show up in recommendations and other places. A large and complete and prehistoric settlement, Beinan Cultural Park is an archaeological site. It covers some 10,000 m2 and has over 1,600 burial sites.
It is unlikely we will be back but it causes thought about the engagements that lead to the deaths of all these Taiwanese people. Knew that Japan had invaded Taiwan but did not realise that it controlled Taiwan for 50 years from 1895 to 1945. Sun Yat-sen was first president of the Republic of China from 1919 to and the first leader of the Kuomintang the Nationalist Party of China. He was referred to as the Father of the Nation and is revered apparently more so now in Taiwan than in China.

Sky Walk with cloud view throughoutThe walk from the south entrance ended at a touristy food court, located near Green Green Grassland. We ordered some simple Taiwan dishes from one of the aggressive vendors. Luckily, food was not as awful as its online reputation. Today, our aim was to visit Hehuanshan and hike up a few of its peaks.
We head towards our hotel and not far away stop at the National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine, a structure that houses the spirit tablets of about 390,000 persons. A changing of the honour guard from the various branches of the Republic of China Military take place at the shrine. The shrine closed about half an hour ago and we take photos of it from the gate in front.
