2023.02 #TaipeiTravel_My11th #TaiwanTravel!! In order to go to the #TaipeiTravelSpot that I had been waiting for for years, I first visited the village at the foot of #Yangmingshan (#陽明山). That's because there is a #Starbucks (#starbucks / #星巴克) #Chaoshanmenshi (#草山門市) branch right here. The entire village looks like a ranch village somewhere in the Western mountains, probably because the US military was stationed in this area. Anyway, the unique scenery of this place and the unique Starbucks store located inside it made the heart of a #Starbucks fanatic flutter. While drinking a cup of refreshing latte, I felt proud while looking at the #Starbucks card that I got from the Chaoshanmenshi branch, and then I went outside and sat in the garden and had a healing time literally while basking in the sun. Next time on #Taipei trip, I want to come with some time to spare and stay for about half a day. #TaiwanTravel #taipei #taipeitravel #taiwan #taiwantravel #台北 #台北旅游 #台灣旅游 #worldtravel

Today's itinerary starts at the geothermal scenic area of Yangmingshan, a place with magnificent natural scenery and unique geothermal landscapes. In the morning, I took the MRT to Yangmingshan, and with the gentle breeze on my face, I felt particularly joyful. As soon as I entered the geothermal scenic area, the first thing that caught my eye was the steam vents emitting hot steam, with a faint smell of sulfur in the air. Walking along the trail, surrounded by green trees and flowers, I felt the vitality of nature. The geothermal fountains here occasionally spout hot water, like the pulse of nature, which is truly amazing. I took many photos here, especially in front of the steaming mud pools, as if I were in a fantastical painting. Finally, I stood on a viewing platform, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Yangmingshan, feeling an immense sense of tranquility. Next, I drove to Jiufen Old Street, known for its ancient streets and unique mountain town charm. As I walked into Jiufen Old Street, the small shops on both sides were dazzling, exuding the aroma of various delicacies. Red lanterns hung high, adding a touch of festivity and romance to the entire street. I specifically chose A-Mei Tea House, known for its rich tea culture and elegant environment. Sitting by the window, savoring the fragrant Taiwanese tea, the mountain scenery and street view outside the window complemented each other, giving me a sense of leisure. The tea house staff patiently introduced the types of tea and brewing techniques, giving me a deeper understanding of Taiwanese tea culture. After enjoying afternoon tea at A-Mei Tea House, I continued to wander along the old street. The red lanterns looked particularly charming under the sunset, filling the entire street with warm lights. I tasted local snacks such as taro balls and grass cakes, with unique flavors that left a lasting impression. Ending this day's itinerary, my heart was full of emotion and satisfaction. From the natural beauty of Yangmingshan to the cultural heritage of Jiufen Old Street, this trip to Taipei made me fall in love with this city even more.
