5.2 Fenqihu 奮起湖 + 嘉义Chiayi
Public transport is impossible to reach Fenqihu due to time constrain.Unless you are staying there 1 night.
On the way to Fenqihu,they are repairing the road and cause massive jam on the road for more then 40 minutes. We ended up reaching Fenqihu 3++pm which initialy need only 1 hour trip.
Fenqihu is a small town along the forest railway.
It is well know for the local box lunches (奮起湖便當, Fencihu bento) which were once sold to passengers on the rail line. Each lunch box is sold NT$100, which consist rice, vegetables, chicken and pork meat. TS love Fenchihu bento alot.
There are several old street, wooden houses selling sourvinor and foods. The railway station that was stoped working due to the flood.
We continue our journey down to ChiaYi. We stop by the temple (龍隱寺).
And there are 2 Suspension Bridge.
The Tianchang bridge (天長橋) is closed.
But not the DiJiu Brigde (地久橋)
We reach Chiayi train station and we headed to 新高大飯店 and check-in our hotel in Chiayi. Room rates is NT$800 per night. The hotel is very near to the train station and the room is quite big.
On our way for dinner, we stop at Bosini and brought both of us 2 thick jumper jackets. 2 jackets only cost us NT$1400 which we will never get this price in Malaysia. The SA recommend me to buy a thicker one as I will be visiting Qingjing on the next few days.
The weather jump to as cold as 8-9°C at night due to the cold wind(寒流)blowing toward Taiwan island.
Our dinner is famous chicken rice nearby our hotel. Too bad I forgotten to snap the shop name.
After dinner, we wonder around Chiayi town. The weather is so cold and we stop to had some Taofufa (豆花) and you know what, the Taofufa went cold after 15 minutes. Oh ~! the weather is really really cold by now.

4.0 Kaohsiung HomeStay 高雄 & RuiFeng Night Market 瑞豐夜市
Next we headed to RuiFeng Night Market (瑞豐夜市), the largest night market at Kaosiung. We took the Kaohsiung Arena MRT (巨蛋站)to the night market. Taiwan night markets are far more different from Malaysian night market.
We started with the food section. I grab this Keli Biscult (可立饼). They will put the ingrediants n top of the base and wrap it over. I must say, the one I ate taste good. Its a mixture of salty ingrediants such as ham, egg, vegetables, corn ... etc.I have also tried the fried bird egg(炸鸟蛋). Its just like Tako balls.
The grill squid 酥炸大鱿鱼(top left) are quite famous in Taiwan. Even a small store like this requires us to queue according to number we take. TS tried the hotplate chicken noodle 铁板烧鸡排(top right) ~ nothing special. One thing I like the most in Taiwan is the their fruits. Their fruits are very sweet and crispy. I brought 2 pack of guava from the bottom left photo, the stall called 阿容芭乐.Their licorice root taste(甘草口味)is the best. I enjoy those big red jambul air (水蓊) at there too. Taiwan Grill Sausages 香肠(bottom right) are the best among all. Malaysian so call "Taiwan sausage" has nothing to fight.
Taiwan night markets have alot of this kind of entertainments games. We can't find these at pasar malam at Malaysia anymore. I think I still can see this at Genting highland indoor theme park.Baseball theme game. To me, their night market is like everything in a roof top. I even saw a stall serving message service. We tried the head neck message 15 minutes for NT$100.

3.4 Kenting National Park 垦丁国家公园 Part 2
Our journey path:
Kenting Main Road (垦丁大街) -> Sail Rock (船帆石) -> Banana Bay (香蕉灣) -> Shadao beach(砂島) -> Eluanbi Park(鵝鑾鼻公園) -> Most South Part (最南點)-> Lungpan Park (龍磐公園) -> FengChueiSha(風吹沙) - > Gangkou Suspension Bridge(港口吊橋) -> Back to Homestay

First we reach Sail Rock (船帆石), a huge rock standing alone in the ocean.

Beach at the Sail Rock ~ so blue and beautiful

Harbour Banana Bay (香蕉灣) - isn't it the sea is too clean for a harbour? There is a place for swiming on Banana Bay but we didn't saw it!

After the Banana Bay, we drove to the Eluanbi Park(鵝鑾鼻公園).

Entrance Fee is $20(n.p $40), discount using the travel youth card.

Within the park, there are a number of recreational facilities and a wide range of interesting geological, botanical and ornithological features.

Becareful for snake and incests on the park ~

This park is famous for this most notable landmarks - the Eluanbi Lighthouse. The Eluanbi Lighthouse is also known as the "Light of East Asia"

The rest of the parks are those cave's form by natural stones, cliffs and trees...

Just beside the Eluanbi Park, we drove to the Most South Part (最南點) of Taiwan. It's another just a place to see more on the sea.

We drove again up the hill, later we passed by Lungpan Park (龍磐公園).The Park features spectacular sheer slumping cliffs, coastal terraces and of course again, beautiful views of the sea.

After the Lungpan Park, we arrive at FengChueiSha(風吹沙). Something special of the FengChueiSha is the strong northeasterly winds blow the sand up to the top of the cliffs. See the sand behind me ~! There are from the sea.

Later we arrive at Gangkou Suspension Bridge(港口吊橋), was just wondering why there is a suspension bridge at here.


We missed the Shadao beach(砂島) and we found it on our way back to our homestay.

Over the years, seashells, rhizaria and coral have create the fine white sand for which Shadao’s beach is famous.

But now it is prohibited to enter the sand area as too much sand has been taken away by visitors


We went back to our homestay and return the bike to the shop. We headed to have our lunch at Kenting Main Road. Here are the seafood we have for lunch which cost us NT$600++ ~ not cheap having seafood at Kenting

Coming next: National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium
