Summer 2007 Family Trip
we plan this summer trip in the fashion of " Drove to Kenting -the thouthern point in Taiwan " and incorporate with kids free time, as Fruit will enter the Junior 3rd - the battle year for enterance examination, we thought of the life in hell, so, willing to provide a better trip for the family.Wife is the only driver in the family, in order not to burn her out, I scheduled the stop over at Tainan before reaching our final destination - Kenting. this is a smart decison. now let me share where we went and how it goes on the last day of our trip.
Woke up early morning, we intent to drove in the morning to catch up some of the unknow scenerary in norther / central Taiwan, drove the highway number one at 7 am on Sunday morning, the traffic is great, we exit at Maili to Yumay - where we visit the first time an ancient suger factory established 100 years ago, now the factory turn to a tourist spot, however, without proper planning and management, this is not a great place to be, if not for what Su Ko Ching told, we will not stop over and check the thousand year old tree -- one of the spectacular in central Taiwan, the tree converted to a park now, a lot of locals spot the best postion, in the hot summer day, you can still enjoy the breeze under this giant tree, how amazing, we accientally found this is a place for local wine as well, next to the God Tree -- accoding to Taiwanese tradition, every ancient material must with a soul inside - a God spirit, so, next to the tree is a local Land God, what make it different from other temple - Tao temple especially, you don't donate, but to borrow your " Seed money " from it as long as the God agree ( by performing a local God service ceremoney, you worship and throwing 2 half-moon shape wooden peice, once it show up with one up side, one down side, it means the God agree with what you propose to him ), you may borrow 200 NT from the temple, if you use it and making fortune, you know how you will return the God's favor, right? pretty much interesting to know God plays Angel's role in the sub area in Yamay.
Return to hightway , we heading for Chang Haw, as I can't forget the loving Ah-Tien Stew Pork Rice, we manage to find the small local delicacy and feed my stomach for lunch, where we park is a very bad experience, but it didn't ruin our excitement in travelling.
Arriving Tainan by 4:30 pm, from the internet, I book one Li-ting hotel, I have not clue how it will be, surprisingly, this is a great hotel, 4 person in a room with only 2100 per night and providing 4 free breakfast ( the follow morning we were surprise again for the feast they prepared and the Italian Coffee maker for the great Cappucino ), they do provide Spa facility free also, take a shower, we decided to go out for dinner and to explore the night of Tainan, HaiAn street is where we go first, the long and amazing street full of little shop and tea drinks buitique shops, this is the first night of our trip.
