Family trip Summer 2007 day 2

First night at Hau-An street, we encountered with an unpleasant situation, when the taxi stop by one crossroad, wife spot a noodle shop full of people, we thought this is one of the local treasue and follow the corwd to find our seat, wait for more than 20 minutes, the chef / owner ignoring our odrer, so we leave with an unhappy mood, even Tainan famous for its local snack, the service play vital role in tourist mind.

Strolling to one preserved fruit shop, the owner told us they been established 70 years ago, so, we bought a few for testing. our last stop is the Flesh Fish Soup respaurant, it taste so great.

Having a great free breakfast provided by Li-ting Hotel following morning, restaurant located on 3rd floor of the hotle , connected with a garden we walked in the independant house, more than 20 dished servers , plus the original Italian Coffee, we've mark this hotel a best choice to stay in Tainan.

Supplyment from day one, after leaving Chuanhwa, I decided to take highway number 17 instead of free way, this is for explore more scenic spots where we didn't go before, number 17 is a coast highway, along Changhaw / Yulin / Chayi are near sea breed sea farm, we experice what we don't see before, Wu-Sher port now developed to National Seashore Park, the hardwares are so amazing, fishman's wraft and lots of state of the art facility, it is not open to public yet, but so many locals visit the port and enjoy the hot summer evening, what kept me thinking is the software and people, the quality of living in such a relax mood is not ready yet, especially facing the economic downturn. Passing through numbers of port, then we access to Taina.

After the breakfast, we headed for Kenting, again, taking highway number 17 to Kaoshung, then connected to freeway which lead us to the beautiful beach highway, we stop by TungKang for lunch, Tung Kang is famouse for the Tuna Festival, we order one set of Tuna Sasimi and a flesh roast eel, from Tung Kang to Kenting, we only stop at Cha Tong for visiting one ancient house - the Shew's house, a house built 120 year ago, preserved quite well, it's a pity that it didn't open for public on Monday, we can only see it from outside, but I also found more old houses in Cha Tong, this old town should keep some of the historials.

Arrving Kenting by 3:30 pm, checking in Ceacer Park Hotle, this is the first time we return after the renovatiion, it turn to a post mordern feel, we like it, as I bought us the package online, it's a super value package, so we dicied to have dinner in the hotel before going out to the Kenting Street.

Monday night at Kenting Street full of tourist still, we havn't been to Kenting in summer, in the peak seasons, this is truly a tropical island - Hung Chung Paynisilla, young man and wamen, wearing as little as they can, tained to nature brown, happy smile in their face, I like the way they enjoy life.
