国立故宫博物院、国立历史博物馆 National Palace Museum

This place interests me. It had 679855pcs of precious antiques from Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasty. I want to see the famous jade cabbage - dowry of queen from Qing Dynasty.Another is a stone that look like roasted meat 肉形石.

Taipei 101

Initial plan now is to have dinner at 60plus floor and see the night view. Very excited.

How to go: 捷运板南线市政府站

Begin in 1997, completed in 2003, 508km tall
I scared of height, fear the speed of lift.
To go to top floor, need to purchase the ticket at 5th floor, then take lift to 89th floor observatory floor, which has rotating platform. Can go up to 91th floor but it is depended on the weather.

Yang Ming Shan 陽明山 - must go!

Living creatures to watch if we are going to YMS national park: water chives , bamboo, tree frogs, dried leaves butterfly, flowers

Plan plan plan ! 大台北我来咯!😍😘😄😄😊

At last, I am able to go travelling. The last time I travelled was year 2002.
I am going with my long time best friend Shun Xiang.
She had booked air ticket with Jetstar for departure flight at Terminal 1. The departure time is at 1.15AM!!!!!
A bit scary time for me. Because I am never awake at this time.
I planned to go airport immediately after work, go home and take a mrt to Changi airport and wait there.
Shun Xiang is more travel savvy so she also helped to book room at Ta Shun Hotel. Reply within 2 days. SX had called to confirm the booking, asking for high level, non smoking and twin bedded room with windows. SX had to submit her credit card details to pay for room charges for the 1st day. Subsequent charges, we could pay on the last day of the stay. All had been promised.
