Over the past few years, I have become more and more lazy. Now I don’t even bother to bring a camera when I go out. I just use my mobile phone to take pictures, let alone write travel notes on the Internet when I go home. Last year, half of the Mid-Autumn Festival travel notes in Russia were written. This year, Nha Trang, Vietnam, and Taiwan have not yet been written.
Because of household registration restrictions, we went with a group when we went to Taiwan. (At present, there are more than 20 cities in China with registered permanent residence who can go to Taiwan freely. Taihe, where I live, is a small county on the 18th line, so naturally it is not feasible)
It was more difficult to join the group, traveling all over Taiwan in just eight days and seven nights, and what was even more difficult was to enter many shopping stores. With the group, you don’t have to worry about finding a car, booking air tickets and booking hotels, but you are not free. You have to do your own strategies for free travel, and you have to work hard, but you are free, so each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
This itinerary started from Nanchang, Nanchang flew directly to Taipei Taoyuan, then went all the way south, went around Kenting, and returned to Taipei.
When I first arrived in Taiwan, I made a joke.
We landed at Taiwan Taoyuan Airport, which is located in Taoyuan County, Taiwan, also known as Chiang Kai-shek Airport. Did I say Taoyuan County, Taipei City? The tour guide glanced at me, and he said that in Taiwan, except for municipalities, counties are bigger than cities.
After you claim your luggage at the airport, there is an exchange counter on the left side of the gate, with a handling fee of NT$30 per transaction, about RMB 6.5.
Shopping malls and most supermarkets accept credit cards, so I changed a few hundred dollars to buy some snacks. ATM machines can also withdraw cash, I have never withdrawn it, and I don’t know how much the handling fee is.
Stay in Taoyuan for the first night.
I don’t know if the place where we live is considered a downtown area. The streets near the hotel are all narrow and old. The buildings are not high-rise and the lights are not very bright at night.
Although the streets are dilapidated, they are clean.
It is said that Taiwan’s milk tea is delicious, but I don’t like milk tea. Each of my companions asked for a glass, and I took a few sips to drink. Because I don’t usually drink milk tea, there is no way to compare. The milky taste is very strong, not the flavor of essence, and the pearls are also very chewy. I don’t remember how much the price is, but it is about ten yuan a cup in RMB. It’s cheaper than at home.
I stood by the side of the road and waited for a few minutes in order to watch and take pictures of these words. The Taiwanese name is quite interesting.
The custard fruit sold in street fruit shops costs NT$89 per catty, which is about 20 yuan per catty in RMB.
Taiwan custards generally include pineapple custards and big eye custards. These two Shakyas are well distinguished. The pineapple custard is round, and the big eye custard is oval.
I personally prefer the pineapple custard because it is sweeter.
Yes, I bought the pineapple custard.
The oyster omelette in the small shop tasted average.
The proprietress is over 60, she is from the mainland and is from Fujian. After chatting with her, she said that she hadn’t been back to her hometown for more than 30 years. We told her that the mainland is developing very well now, and the proprietress said, yes, mainland tourists are often seen here, and they seem to be quite rich.
I have not been to many Asian countries, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Nepal, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore.
These countries, like Thailand and Nepal, are countries with many temples. Especially in Nepal, in the capital Kathmandu, if you just turn around, you can bump into a small temple.
Unexpectedly, there are so many temples in Taiwan.
There are many temples in Taiwan. One is to worship and build temples to commemorate the meritorious figures in history, such as the national hero Zheng Chenggong. The second is that in history, when people from Fujian and Guangdong crossed the sea and moved to Taiwan, they brought local gods to Taiwan to build temples to worship, such as: Emperor Guan, Mazu, etc., in order to seek protection.
During a week in Taiwan, there are temples everywhere, whether in the bustling city or in the wilderness, which shows the important role of temples in the lives of Taiwanese people.
Taiwan does not need to burn incense, does not charge entrance fees, and refuses huge donations. Generally, temples do not have incense shops or incense cases, but set up everlasting lamps.
Think of some temples in China 999 a handful of incense, 9999 a handful of incense, ashamed.
The National Palace Museum in Taipei has a rich collection. The treasures of the museum are Maogong Ding and Jade Cabbage. There are too many people onlookers, so I just took a few photos of palace utensils and jewelry.
Taiwan accounts for 80% of the world’s main coral producing areas and is known as the “Coral Kingdom”.
Aka coral is the best grade of coral, and Aka means “red” in Japanese. Although I don’t know coral, but looking at this red coral in the Palace Museum, it is indeed extraordinary.
The sitting statue of Sun Yat-sen in the National Palace Museum in Taipei is recast from the marble sitting statue of Sun Yat-sen in Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.
The toilet sign of the Palace Museum, so cute
Traveling with a group is to check in at the must-see attractions for tourists.
The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall was built to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. The hall is planned to accommodate more than 2,500 spectators. It is the largest national-level performance venue on the island. The performance hall has first-class lighting and equipment. It is a performance venue for important cultural activities. The lecture hall often has academic and daily activities. lecture.
The Changing of the Guard ceremony at the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall is performed by the honor guards of the Taiwan Army, Navy and Air Force in rotation.
The salute service is from 9 to 17 o’clock every day, and the salute is changed every hour on the hour.
