Taiwan, especially Taipei city, has always been a place my darLING wanted to visit since we were together. Well...result of watching too much of Taiwanese entertainment TV show which successfully promoted Taipei as a heaven for food and shopping lover! So...here comes my darLING and there goes my money...wahaha!!
Day 1, we went to mount Yang Ming (阳明山). Just nice that it is 海芋 season so mountain are full of 海芋 ! Very nice!
Then we went to DanShui Street (淡水老街) for food and walkaround...very crowded but we gonna taste what Taipei social life is about.
Then, out of sudden, we were attracted by the 'fast-draw' artist. We saw the sample painting and they really look real. The best part is...the painter promised to deliver the drawing in 15minutes! So, we give it a try and spent SGD30 for 1 painting...worth? I dont know, but certainly memorable as this is the 1st oversea trip after our marriage and the painting symbolized that :)
Near evening time we visited Fisherman Harbour (渔人码头). This is 1 attraction of 淡水area. Behind us is the famous Lovers Bridge (情人桥).
Beautiful sunset...and this picture is taken on the Lovers Bridge.
Night time we went back 西门町 (Xi Men Ding) where our hotel is located.
Day 2, we went to City Hall area. Not to miss...is of course the grand Taipei 101 building. We walked around that area, which is actualy a shopping area. Then shopped around. Well...things are nice but its price is 'throat-cutting', imagine, 1 dress cost SGD500...
the shopping area around City Hall is called 新光三月. Lots of branded goods and fine restaurant, one can spent 1 day there if he/she is an active shopper!
Evening time we went ShiLin (士林夜市) night market for food...this is a well-known night market not to be missed! 1 of the tourist spot famous for variety of nice food. Ling is a food lover and here she found her heaven :P
Again...after 1 whole day of tour, we went back to Xin Men Ding.
Day3, even worse, right from the morning, Taipei was raining heavily. But no choice, we still need to visit places and not wasting time. The 1st station we went was Long Shan Temple(龙山寺). The architecture of temple is great and we see lots worshipping here you cant see in the picture as they all stay behind the camera man, haha.
Next we visited 忠正纪念堂, where it is built to give memory to developer or discoverer of Taiwan, the great Chiang Kai Shek (蒋介士). At the time we visit this place, the sky was raining damn heavily...wind was blowing strong, believe it or not, we cant even hold our umbrella straigh at 1 point of time.
We took the outer and inner view of the place, together with the statue of the great Chiang Kai Shek .
Next, we took long MRT and shuttle bus to visit the famous 故宫博物院 (Muzium). 
Night time we visited 师大夜市. Tasted 2 great food there as show in the pictures.
Day4, the last place we visited in Taipei before we end our memorable trip is 国父纪念馆. It is built to give credict and memory to the great Sun Yat Sen (孙中山).
