Sightseeing inTaipei


I went sightseeing next day.


First thing in the morning, I saw Lungshan Temple where is the most famous temple in Taipei.
The Cathedral was artistic. 
Many people prayed in the precincts.
The picture of upside is a gate of the temple. 
I didn't take the picture of the hall because precincts is sacred.



And then, I went National CKS Memorial Hall that is huge building made of granite.
I have never seen such a great architecture, and was stunned by the powerful figure .
The upside picture is the scenery from the Hall.





After having delicious lunch, I went Martyrs Shrine and saw guard mount.
They are really strong guys.



Next is the National Palace Museum.
The works of art are wonderful.
I was charmed by the beauty of the celadon porcelains.

After that I had massage in taipei method.
It was comfortable, I relaxed and completely regained.





The picture shows Shimen in the evening.
It is said that there has similar atmosphere with Harajuku in Japan.
There is bustling with activity, and very popular for young people.

I had a marvelous day in Taipei.

Wonderful Taipei


I went Taipei this week.
It  was wonderful trip.


The time reaching the hotel in Taipei was around 9 pm.
I went night market near the hotel soon. 


There are some night market in Taipei, those are open until about 2AM. 
There were very crowded , many street stalls, smells of many kind foods.


I ate sweets made of beans and jelly and potato, it was very nice taste. But I couldn't eat any more, because had eaten meals in the airplane. I regret that.

















Surprisingly, there was not street stall, and no garbage ( except some dog's craps) when I took a walk next morning 7AM. 




The streets were very clean, and many bikes shot vigorously.
