Day 2

From Taichung to Waipu to Houli to Miao Li County to Sun Moon Lake.

Its Day 2!

After a good night's rest its off to Tian Ma Farm. Trip took around 45mins from Tai Chung. Looks like a wild life park. Its basically a Llama wildlife park with other minor animal species. There is a newcomer to the farm, its a 160-year-old tortoise (claimed by the keeper). Looking at him makes me think that in his current lifetime he had lived through 2 world wars and more. Among other animals is this cute ground hog. There are many other animals like snakes, birds, camels, ostriches etc…

Next we went to one of the most beautiful attraction of our trip. (Zhong She Hua Shi). Also known as "Hua Hai". Its like the beautiful flower meadows in Holland. They even had a wind mill there. Lol.

After that, we travelled to a Hakka noodle restaurant. Hakka food is know to be popular in the area.

Next to a strawberry farm. Picking our own strawberries and pay them by weight. Picked around 600g of strawberries. What a nice and unique experience compared to getting it in the supermarket.

Lastly, we arrived at Sun Moon Lake around 5pm and checked in to our "lake

At night we went to the nearby night market for a short while as well as having our dinner there.
