3rd day in Taiwan

Today, our trip is from Tai Chung to Kao hsiung. Our first stop was at a shop selling Shandi local products. The employees in the shops are Taiwan aborigines. They sell products such as royal jelly and flower pollent.
Next, we went to the Zhong Tai Temple. The place is so big and it looks more like a hall to me than it is a temple. There was a person in charge who brought us around and informed us on the temple's stories and histories.





After that, we went to the Sun Moon Lake. We paid 500 yuan to take the boat to a small island. The boat driver explained the buildings and places that we passed to us. In the small island, there were a small performance by also an aborigine tribe people. There is also an old woman selling herbal egg there and seems that the eggs are very famous.




Next, we went to Wen Woo temple. As I'm more excited to buy the souvenirs which were sold at the bottom of the temple, I only took photos of the temple from outside and went to buy the souvenirs. We also went to Peacock park just to take photos of the peacocks which were showing off their feathers.





Lastly, before going to the Luye night market, we stopped at the Dream Mall first. Our tour guide gave us time to go and sit on the ferris wheel but no one went as the ticket price is quite expensive. I went inside the mall to have a walk and the place is quite empty... i think it's due to the price of the things sold there. All the things sold are quite expensive which are more for rich people.
