Day 4 of Taiwan
Early morning, we had breakfast at our minsu before heading out.
More pictures of Misty Villa.
This minsu is very sweet looking, very family feeling and maybe because they have little kids, the place is decorated with many teddy bears too.
Very pretty and colourful.
Breakfast was good too. Simple but nice :)
So off we went to Green Green Grassland (清境農場)!
We bought the tickets at our minsu because it's slightly cheaper at NT$180 instead of NT$200.
We went to the big carpark and waited for bus that goes here every 15min.
So here we are!
The gorgeous view... I really can't explain how much I love many of the sceneries in this trip...
All of them are just so calming to me.. and this is one of them...
Thankfully, there was abit of sun so the picture lighting was good.
But don't be deceived... it was 10 degree...
Sakura trees planted along the walkways....
The boy. I insisted he should take a picture with the flowers and he kept refusing... saying..
"Where got guys take pictures with flowers one?"
I don't care! hehe...
And then he gave me this uncle pose...
Then there is a sheep show...
It's like those in Singapore zoo...
Talks about some funny stuff and facts about sheep.
And then.... they started to skin the sheep....
Every show got skin sheep...
When I saw it, I felt abit pitiful towards the sheep... so poor thing..
but the rest of the crowd didn't feel so... cause after that, every one started snatching for the fur left at the stage...
Feeding time!!!!! I think they starve the sheep cause all the sheeps were so hungry that they gobbled up so fast!!! And still wanted more!
Then we took a ride on horsey!!!!!! Horse year ride horse... sure good luck right?! haha...
My "bai ma wang zi"... love white horses!
As we walked along, somewhere in the middle there are food stalls before entering the next sectioni of the farm.
And of course, there were goodies/ souvenirs relating to sheep...
Obviously for someone who doesn't drink milk, I wasn't interested .. cause many were selling milk...
Then another show was a horse performance.
All in all, the place is pretty small.. and I was kinda disappointed cause my imagination of this green green grassland is supposed to be very green... but apparently maybe because it's winter, it's brown.....
oh wells... every thing ended by ard 12pm...
and to go back down, there is this 499 steps..... and this is one of their "recreations" too.. haha
Went for steak & spagetti lunch before setting off to Sun Moon Lake. 
In order to get to Sun Moon Lake, you can take their Nantou bus over which is cheaper. But of course, it's longer.
Hence, we settled to ask our minsu owner to book the E-go bus to Sun Moon Lake.
The bus will come pick you up directly at your minsu and it's a comfy 8-10 seater mini van.
Cost is NT$450 per person and definitely faster.
The ride was about an hour plus only.
For more information on the E-go bus, you can check out their website.
By the time we arrived Sun Moon Lake was around 3-ish pm.
We quickly checked in, settled down and went off.
We didn't want to waste the daylight so we went off to walk to Xiang Shan.
We wanted to cycle but since it was quite short to us... we walked.
One of the activity was to cycle around and the lake is THE ATTRACTION. Cycling is really very convenient and friendly in Taiwan. Unlike Singapore..... anyways..
Why the lake is THE ATTRACTION? Cause how Sun Moon Lake came about is the lake depicts the sun, the moon, and the lake when you overlook it.
But of course, you probably have to view from the top. hehe..
But it's very peaceful.
Sunsetting...
As usual, the sun sets early and soon it was dark. By the time we had dinner, it was 8pm, and the place seems deserted. Like every one has taken their dinner already.
Typical old age place habit? haha... i dunno...
We settled for Sun Moon Restaurant and it's well known President fish. But... so so only la..
Their meat is so much nicer...
So that's about Day 4! 1/3 through the trip!!!!
