Hii Travellers!!
Today is Wednesday and I have a free day
and I've come to Elephant Mountain.
It is a small hill from where you can see Taipei 101.
Today is gonna be an interesting day!
To arrive here you have to take the red line to Xiangshan
and walk like 10 minutes.
Let's start the way up!
It's only 1 minute walking and I am already sweating!
In this point there are two ways: the red and the blue.
I'm going up with the red and the light blue
and go back with the dark blue.
I'm in the half and I am a bit tired...
I keep going and actually there is few people going down
and they look relax because once you go up you are gonna be tired...
By the way, I recommend you to have a good breakfast and bring water!!
When you think it is over... There is even more...
Hello Taipei!!
I love this! It is really cool with a lot of vegetation
and I am alone!!! All for me!!
More stairs!!
I've read you have to pass 6 big stones before you arrive to the top.
Here there is a small gym open air area
I've just arrived to other lookout and I don't know if you can notice but I am sweating and a bit red...
This area is paved and it is better to walk
because that stairs are horrible because the steps are very small
and you have make a small thread and it is more tiring.
Well, I am going down now. I've been there for almost an hour
but after the way up, I had to enjoy the place alone sat down relaxed, looking at things,...
and enjoying the view because OMG what a building! They didn't skimp on anything!
I was gonna go that way but I saw this stairs and an arrow so I am going down this way.
I have to investigate!
I've found the famous selfies spot!
I've climbing to the rock to the typical view to see Taipei 101.
This is supposed to be trunk, the head and the eyes.
I'm gonna tell you a secret! I've seen people going down the stairs backwards
and that is much better for the knees because they don't suffer the impact
so I'm gonna try it without falling or dying or breaking the ankle!
I don't like it!
Well, I am at the beginning of the trail. The way down is like 15 min before you go more relaxed and easier.
So now I'm leaving!
I've really enjoyed it!! 5/5
But be careful to come here on weekdays because on weekends it is really crowded and uncomfortable.
and also checked the weather for a day that is not raining or too hot!
Yeah!!! Finally the sun came out!!!
I am in the financial area but it surprised me because there are also normal shops of food or clothes.
To look for place to eat I download the app "Eat Drink Taiwan" that with price filters and geolocalization it shows you different options.
I choose this local restaurant as the first dish!
I'm gonna try this that is beef cashew with soup because it said it was really good!
I have to say the food cost me 100 NTD that is like 3 Euros
The soup was very good and the meat too, although it was not real meat
but it surprised me and with the spices it was a interesting mix
For the price is okey. I give it 3/5 just to try it!
As the second dishes, I wanted to try the jian bao of different flavours in a stall really close to Taipei 101
I am here sit down in this part because I don't understand walking and eating at the same time.
I need to sit down in a park or even the floor to eat relaxed"
I ordered two of black pork and one of bamboo.
It is bun. It is pretty big and cost 14 NTD each one.
I don't what is this... I am gonna try it...
This is the bamboo one.
It is good but spicy. It is toasted in the bottom and white in the upper side.
It is really good. I like it. I give 3/5 because I don't like spicy a lot...
Now, I'm gonna try the pork one that is much bigger and heavier.
I am gonna try it. It is the same white in the upper side and toasted in the bottom.
It is really good! But it is not black pork... it is white... what a rip!
It is like the commercial name for the marketing
But it is very good, very juicy...
I love it!!! Maybe I go to buy more....
Such a good idea to buy too!
5/5 I love it!!
I want 1000. I want to eat this all day!!
So lovely... I love meat wrapped in things!
Very fan!!!
I want to show you that while I am eating there is a cat looking at me like asking for food...
Oh no! The cats multiply! He has called his friend!
Look at how they look at me! This one is too close and look he wants to hurt me...
Get out!
Taipei 101 is the tallest building in Taiwan and the 8th of the world with 508m tall.
It's construction took 5 years and it has the best technology against typhoons and earthquakes.
All the decoration has chinese symbology with elements of good luck to promote good fortune.
This is the entrance for the office building and in the last floor there is a lookout but everybody told me it was too expensive and not worthwhile.
The lower part is a shopping mall with exclusive brands and in the exterior there are artistic works to take the typical pictures.
Special mention to Longchamp, the favorite bag of everybody here, of every women!
It looks it is given away with the bubble tea!
All wear the same bag in different colors or sizes but the same model!!
Just behind the Taipei 101, it is the City Hall with a public beach with fountains.
And in the interior, there is the Discovery Center.
In the 4 floors, it shows how was Taipei centuries ago and how it is changing to a more global and sustainable city.
I leave all the links in the info box.
