took the shuttle bus to Taipei 101 and walked around the area… tickets for entry to the observation tower was NT$400 or SG$20… so dad didnt wana pay for everyone, so me and my sis went instead.. spent about an hour up in the 91st story… LOL… nice view and scenery.. went shopping after that… didnt really spend much time there as it was on the higher-end side… but i bought 2 tops from NET…
took a long walk to WuFengPu (joint-streets selling clothes)… walked for 2hours and bought a pair of shorts… legs are damn aching right now…

took the train to couple of parts of Taipei City… practically ends of the train line… DanShui, GuangDu, JianTan, XingBeiTou…walking the whole day !!! legs are damn aching… sightseeing in the day, then shopping at night… but as expected, had lots of f00d again xD … damn shiok !!! weather was hotter than yesterday, but at least there was very strong wind and was drizzling slightly… all of us are a little burnt =(
went to ShiLin Night Market in the evening to shop… bought a t-shirt, a pair of asics shoes as well as a cap… price-wise is reasonable, cheaper than sg… cap’s only $5 :D … didnt manage to finish the night market despite spending around 4h there, so might be going back 1 of these nights again… there’s still a couple of things i wana get xD
should be doing shopping the whole day tml… hopefully will be able to get more things… till then, tata =)
Danshui
–> Fishermen’s Wharf Walking Area: Boarding point on the Northen Coast Blue Highway as well as a new Danshui tourist area. Convenient communications, green lawns, trails, the white bridge and coffee shops.
–> Red Castle: century-old architecture. Best place for enjoying the sunset of Danshui
Guandu
–> Guandu Nature Park: As an important wetland protection area in Taipei, every spring and fall, large flocks of migratory birds come here to winter, making it a bird-watcher’s paradise.
XinBeiTou
–> Beitou Hot Springs Museum: Set in verdant surroundings, the appealing Beitou Hot Springs Museum features fascinating old photos and information plus antique hot spring articles and equipment.
Jiantan, Shilin
–> Shilin Night Market: First and foremost among all the night markets in Taipei. It is tops in terms of taste, types of products, crowds, and convenient transportation.
