Day 2 - Taoyuan to Dong Pu

 We checked out from the hotel early in the morning and began our "hotel changing" days...


The local tour agent got us a nice and comfy coach to transport us from place to place...


Our first stop, Sun & Green Farm (向日农场), there grows a lot of sunflowers... as the season is not right, we did not manage to see any lavenders...


We were given some time to walk around the farm... taking the foot path to view the flowers... and posing for picture with the nice sunflower back ground...


After getting some souveniors from the farm, we moved on to the next stop... Beipu Hakka Village (北埔客家村), there sell a lot of Hakka Delight and we had their famous 面條 for lunch...


As there is still time, we went into a Family Mart for coffee and Tea Egg (茶叶蛋) to hid ourselve from the sorching sun...


Next, we drove for a few hours and came to Ton Po Bridge (东埔吊桥)... its the highest and longest bridge in Taiwan... the tour guide let us get down the coach to take some pictures... although there is a slight drizzle, we still manage to capture some moments and walk across the bridge to the coach...

 


We will be staying over at TonPo Hot Spring Hotel tonight... After our dinner, we watch an Aboriginal Dancing Show presented by the hotel...


* Mummy and me helping out with the musical instruments *

After the dance, we were invited for dumpling soup (汤圆) and I even got the chance to roll my own dumplings as well as for the others... nice experience!


Mummy and I showered using the bath tub as the water that runs in is Hot Spring Water while the others visited the public Hot Spring within the hotel...
