spring holidays

Kenting

Two weeks ago, i was in Spring holidays, i had the opportunity to travel around Taiwan another time. First I went to Kenting, kenting is in the south of Taiwan, this place is really known for the beautiful beach that you can find over there and for Kenting national park. This national park is well known for its tropical climate and sunshine scenic mountain and beach. kenting was long been one of the most favorite resort places in Taiwan! For all thoses reasons i decided to go five days in this place ! 

I especially enjoyed the good wheter and the beach of course! 

 Taipei

After going to Kenting, i went to Taipei to visit and learn more about Taiwanese culture and it was amazing. I ate some of the most delicious food in the world, I met friendly people. I was fascinated by the old and new side by side, with the modern in one corner and the traditional at another.

Location

I was really well located because i stayed in a hotel in Zhongxiao East road, it's Taipei's main boulevard that connects the West with the East. It's Taipei's fashion street, full of high-class boutiques and shopping malls, pubs and clubs, fitness centers, spas ...

transportation

I really appreciated the transportation in Taipei, by using the Taipei MRT, it's really the best way to explore the city.The train is quick, extremely clean and not so crowded like in other big cities such as Seoul or Tokyo i guess... I bought an "Easy card", it's a smart card system, that enables you to pay for train or bus fares as well as for purchases in convenience stores. 

Landmarcks

The first thing i did, when i arrived in Taipei was to visit Taipei101, one of the most incredible buildings the metropolis has to offer.  The building ranked oficially as the world's tallest from 2004 until the opening of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2010. Taipei 101 comprises 101 floors above ground and 5 flooes underground. The building was architecturally created as a symbol of the evoution of technology and Asian tradition. Despite the rapid construction of much taller structures in China and the Middle East, taipei 101 will always be worth to see because of the unique design that it's offer. i even had dinner in some restaurants on floors 86. It was a great experience. 

I also went to the National Palace museum. It is the national museum of the Republic of China, and has a permanent collection of 693,507 pieces of ancient Chinese artifacts and atworks, making it one of the largest in the world.. The collection encompasses over 8000 years of Chinese history from the Neolithic age to the late Qing Dynasty. Most of the collection are high quality pieces collected by China's ancient emperors. 

After all this great experciences, it was the end of the spring breaks.. Back to the reality so back to school!
