Day 4 - Ken Ting

Today, we went from Tai Nan to Ken Ting. Along the way, I conquered mountains (the Salt Mountain) and seas (Mao Pi Tou)!

This Salt Mountain place is really a large mould of real salt, where you can climb right up to the top, abeit rock climbling without the safety harness, to get nice views of the countryside. If you do go there, remember to try the super super yummy salty ice-cream! Yes, salty ones! I especially lurve the almond flavor type, very unique! Perhaps I should import some and sell them here, it may just propel me into the "Fortune's Top 50 Women" list.



Mao Pi Tou is a wonderful place, a cape that runs alongside the Pacific Ocean. A very pretty, windy and quiet place to catch that perfect sunset. I absolutely love it.





Spent the night at Ken Ting, living just above a night bazaar that has stalls selling all sorts of quirky stuff, with seafood restaurants and dance bars dotting the kerbs, it's a little like the Bangkok's Khao San street. =)

aiyah pinksmurffy, the eating and shopping is good fun, but the long and frequent bus trips, as well as the inflexible schedules are not!! If I have a choice, I'd definitely opt for free and easy lah. but one cannot "ai(4) pi(1) ai(4) qi(1)" i guess... =P
