JiuFen Taiwan 九份两天一夜之旅

九份是台湾新北市瑞芳区的一个地区，早期因为盛产金矿而兴盛，矿坑挖掘殆尽后从而没落。1990年代后，因电影《悲情城市》一片于九份取景，九份的独特旧式建筑、坡地以及风情，透过此片而吸引国内外的注目，也为此地区重新带来生机，目前已经成为一个很受欢迎的观光景点。- 《维基百科》

我们在九份待了两天一夜，其实不过夜也行. 因为九份并没有很大，所以一日游是足够的.  九份其实就有很多名宿可以选择，我们入住的是温莎堡名宿，原因是因为网上的照片很美，可是因为一些程序的问题，我们就从海景套房变成老宿，还真的有点失望的. 

认真的说，九份的风景还不错，有点像金马伦高原，可是路很弯，阶梯很多，真的觉得寸步难行. 

食物的时间 :)

我本身还蛮喜欢这个糕点，它外面很Q，里面的红豆馅很丰富，然后不会很甜. 可是要排队排很久.  

这是红糟肉丸，我不是很喜欢，觉得味道有点奇特.

然后这是肉丸/三宝丸，还不错啦，味道就像猪肉丸，没有让我wow到的感觉

花枝丸！我喜欢这个，它还蛮有弹性的，肉与肉之间有种缠绵的口感.

甜点:

这是旅游书推荐的. 味道还好，Snowflake比较好吃.

可是还是要排队，人很多，服务态度没有很好

 然后坐在某间小学前面的阶梯吃

它有两种选择，就冷或热

吃饱后名宿老板李大哥载我们到处逛逛，看风景.

这就是传说中的阴阳海，就蓝色和泥黄色. 它会有泥黄色是因为以前的九份是开矿区，所以到现在有些矿物质还留在大海里，就因此形成了阴阳海

看山看水，有种行到水穷处，坐看云起时的feel.  哈哈

然后这就是黄金瀑布，它其实没有黄金，所以不要抱有偷金的打算. 它叫黄金瀑布也是因为那泥黄色的矿物质.

我们到了悬崖勒马.  浪很大，海水很多. 还有迎面吹来的春风.

枯藤老树昏鸦，小桥流水人家，古道西风瘦马. 夕阳西下，断肠人在天涯.

这是冰淇淋，外皮是铜囖烧，里面则是冰淇淋. 还不错

晚上可以到夜市逛，可是我不喜欢，因为人很多，路很小，空气很稀薄

这因该是给男生和的，哈哈

九份的夜晚:

隔天早上吃了名宿老板娘做的早餐就匆匆地离开九份了，还是比较喜欢台北.

Taipei Mr J French-Italian Restaurant

Mr J French-Italian Restaurant is own by the famous Taiwanese artist Jay Chou. But the location of this restaurant is quite hard to find because it hides behind the street, but his hardcore fans my cousin brother eventually found it. LOL We planned to have our tea time here but it actually become *pre-dinner instead. 

 Mr J logo 

The menu looks smelly :/ 

The decoration of the restaurant is very *magically, maybe their renovate it according to his song or because he likes to play magic as well. 

 I like this chandelier yeah, it looks very sumptuous. 

The desserts which I think is not that delectable :/

Here comes the drinks and foods: 

The foods taste average, didn't impressed me as well. The pizza tastes better if compared to the spaghetti. The rank is 5.5/10. I think most people go there is because of Jay Chou lah. 


The address:
台北市大安區光復南路308巷43號
No.43, Lane 308, Guangfu S. Road, Da-an District, Taipei City

Taipei Zoo & Maokong Gondola

The reasons I insist to visit the Taipei Zoo is because of the two pandas that named TuanTuan and YuanYuan (meaning reunion)  and it is also the largest zoo in Asia. 

The zoo hour: 9am to 5pm (no entry after 4pm) open year round every day. 

A little direction signboard. There's two types of shuttle train here. One is for everyone and another one is especially for kids that below 6 years old (Wawa car). 

 Saw alots of kindergarten school kids here and they got handsome ang moh teacher!

The ang moh teacher asked: Why they (the bird) have long legs?

Kid: Because they live in the water and catch fish.

So smart :3

We then walked to the Koala House but not much koala there.

 Why you hide your face?! 

 Nice and clean street and decent weather also. Way better than Zoo Negara. 

The Panda House. They also separate the two pandas into indoor and outdoor. Don't know why~

Overheard: 

Kid: 为什它叫猫熊？

Mama: 因为它长得又像猫又像熊.

Seriously???

Can spot the panda?

Awake

Sleep again, really lazy hoh.

The outsider. 

 Kangaroo! But why you show me your dumb ass? 

There's a gondola runs between the zoo and MaoKong (tea farm) 
The gondola has two choices for us, one is normal cabin which is similar to the Genting cable car and another one is called Crystal Cabin which is 90% transparent. 
And we all chose the crystal cabin and forget bout the high phobia :3

The capacity is limited to 5 person per cabin. It also called 'Eyes of MaoKong Gondola' 

The whole journey is 4.3km and takes you about 20-25 mins.  

Chocolate ice cream from the MaoKong station :) 

 Yam

Strawberry 

 Okay, the zoo is not bad and the crystal cabin gondola is the delight of the zoo trip for me.  

That's all for today post :)

XOXO
