Taiwan Day 8 (6 Dec 2024)

Our last day in Taiwan liao. 

After checking out of Magi Kids, the first place we went to is Ninja Totolo, to undergo ninja training to become the next Naruto. 











After the ninja training, we are hungry and went to a pizza place to make our own pizza. And the pizza place is just beside a scenic lake called 望龙碑 that I wasnt aware at all when I found the pizza place on google maps. So after eating the pizza , we went to the lake to feed the fishes and ducks. 









After lunch, it was a long drive to Taoyuan, where we stayed at our final accomodation of the trip, that is a airbnb. I chose this place because is 20 minutes drive to the airport, where our flight is early in the morning the next day. 

The airbnb is in a convenient location, with many restaurants nearby, and a shopping centre, that has Taiwan's biggest 扭蛋 store. 






Our dinner is at a Taiwanese Izakaya just beside our airbnb. The food is good! I found it on google maps and the reviews are very good. 








And that's it for our 9D8N taiwan trip! I had a great time with my family, and I hope everyone enjoyed the trip as much as I did. Will definitely come back Taiwan the next time!

Taiwan Day 7 (5 Dec 2024)

Started the day with a 6 km jog at Yilan. 


The breakfast spread at Xinyuan is kua zhang. 


We cannot finish the food. LOL. Have to 意思意思 dabao the hard boil eggs. 

Mr Skin help us take a group photo at the entrance of Xinyuan. 

Our first destination for the day is Lucky Art Crayon Factory. It is a good place to bring the kids. There are 4 DIY stations. First station make windmill, second station make marker pen, third station make crayon, and the final station make your own tattoo. 
















Second destination is Wild Wild Ball. The kids had a fun time here. 






 
And then we checked in at probably the kids' favourite hotel of the entire trip, Check Inn Magi Kids Hotel. Truly a kids hotel, they have a racing track, and a full collection of cars for the kids to choose, porsche, mercedes, bmw, you name it, they have it. They also have a giant slide, from level 3 slide down to level 2. They have a kids' playing area of table football, nintendo switch. And beside the playing area there is a lounge for the adults to chill, and also have massage chairs. Alot of thoughts are being placed in designing this hotel. 









We ended the day with grocery shopping at 全联, 5 years ago we also shopped at the same supermarket but it was called 顶好. And then we went to Luodong Night Market for dinner and games. The kids' stamina have improved from this trip, through all the long walking. Luodong Night Market is 550 m away from the hotel and they have walked at least 1.1 km. Kudos to them. 

That's it for Day 7~
