Ximen

Here is Ximen entrance.. It’s been a long time since I’ve come.

The atmosphere is very similar to Myeongdong.

The original (?) Brown sugar which goes into Brown sugar milk tea… It’s hard to see in the picture, but covered with glass, so it seems to care about hygiene.

There are many street performances like this.

I saw this penguin friend many times in Japan….

The red house, usually crowd with many tourist but not in weekday night.

It is a historical building with over 100 years of history. it feels like the (old) Seoul Station building in Korea.

There’s also a shopping mall called Carrefour in Ximen that feels like an Walmart. It’s perfect for buying souvenirs.

Egg bananas.. So Cute..

Here are Recommended gift…

Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor

It’s 58-degree Kaoliang Liquor. No matter how much you mix it, it only tastes like Kaoliang Liquor. Only curry can beat it..

Bear air freshener

It is a small and powerful air freshener.

Nougat Crackers

Many tourist usually buy Feng Li Su (pineapple pie)… But , personally, I highly recommend the Nougat Cracker. Coffee-flavored nougat crackers are the best… I couldn’t find it this time, so I brought this.

In front of Carrefour, I found Hotel 1 (Taipei Garden) where I stayed before.

The breakfast was good and the room wasn’t bad.

There is share bike..

I have still time to tour so decided to walk around a little more in Taipei.

Zhongshan

I took a bus and wanted to go to a street where I often stayed, so I headed to Zhongshan.

This is the inside of the bus heading to Zhongshan.. The sound of the getting off bell was very cheerful…

I saw this chicken many time in Korea..

Hotel 2 Amba Zhongshan, where I stayed for about a month before

It feels a bit modern, has a similar atmosphere to Marriott’s Moxy.

Soaked in longing, I went back to the hotel and slept soundly!!

Massage

The second day has come. The hotel didn’t provide breakfast themselves, but a coupon which can use at affiliated restaurant.

Let’s go to Li Ji Soy Milk, which looks the most local.

I’m not familiar with chinese so ordered include ‘egg’ word. Egg roll and Egg fry was come!

Eat like a local man and moved to massage

The man who only saw in pictures on the blog welcomes me..

I had a 60-minute foot massage / 60-minute full body massage.

It felt like my whole body was being reassembled.. had muscle pain after the massage…

With strong muscle pain, went to Taoyuan Airport to head to Macau

Go to Taoyuan Airport

Moving to Taoyuan Airport is solved in one shot by MRT.. In the past, downtown check-in was also available, but unfortunately it seems to be closed now..

This time, I used the Eva air lounge.
