Day 6 - Sun Moon Lake(2) and Alishan

Today wake up early and had breafast at the hotel. First time i had buffet breakfast and wats great is tt they had both chinese and western style. The western style is nothing special but the chinese style one is real nice - porridge with pork floss is damn yummy!

Different colours of sun moon lake






A super funny guy take us for a tour around sun moon lake. This tour guide is super humorous and knowledgeable. He seems to know everything under the sun. The whole group of us were real impressed with him. He first take is to a wobbling side of the lake. Hmmm i seems to have forgotten wat cause this phenomenon le. Opps





I tink most of the people know that Taiwan has 9 "Shao Shu Min Zu". However, they got 1 additional one lately and they even proven it by DNA somemore. Hee ... The 10th is called "Shao4 Zu2". We were taken to their village where there were various paintings tt depict the origns and some beautiful tales of this 10th Zu2.




















Next, we went to "Ci2 En1 Ta3", a tower CKS built in memorial of his mum. The journey to this pagoda is not easy as we had to climb up the trail which is around 570m. Haha.. Even after reaching, we still had to climb up the tower which is around 4 storeys high. However, all the efforts is worth it as we are able to see the whole scenery of sun moon lake on top of the tower! The view is breathetaking!!!


















Den, we went to another attraction called the "Xuan2 Zhang4 Si" where the she li zi of Xuan Zhang is kept. I always thought tt he is a fictious person. I am so ignorant. We also had the opportunity to dress in the traditional clothes of the shao zu and take fotos. We looked so funny but is a memorable experience for us. After tt, we took a small boat tour round sun moon lake. A short and expensive ride!!!





























After lunch, we embark on our journey to Alishan. The journey there is realli veri xinku as it is a long ride and the car is rather bumpy. As we go higher and higher up into the mountains, we are actualli travelling admist the clouds! This is damn cool but not for the driver. In the front window, i can see nothing but clouds and onli visibiilty of 1m. Haha.. if the road is not marked yellow, i dun tink we can travel at all lo. I tink realli need experience and skilful driver. Amateur sure crashed! Was holding our pee till we reached a small stopover at the husband and wife tree. The temporary toilet stinks like hell! I had to hold moi breathe while reliving moiself. The husband and wife tree is the onli 2 trees left after a forest fire. Damn cool right, even when disaster strike, they still stand by each other! SO touchy.





Finalli after a day of travelling, we reached Alishan. The place is super cold! I had to wear like 3 layers of clothing lo! The Mu Chee biscuits at Alishanm is veri nice! They got lotsa flavours and colours - pink, yellow, orange, green anf brown. I bought 1 back onli as it cannot be kept long. Haiz.. next time shld buy more. Hee... Slept early at 10pm cos we are going to watch sunrise tmr!!! Hee.. but i am so excited!!! i cant sleep till 11 pm!
