The May Day holiday is here again. Due to the epidemic, I decided to rest at home. When I have nothing to do, I read all the travel history in my diary, which is also a re-browse of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. One of the nine-day tours in Taiwan made me deeply moved. Today, I will take the first day of my vacation to share with you the treasure island of my motherland - Taiwan
Taiwan is located on the southeast coast of my country, across the sea from Fujian Province, and is an indivisible territory of our country. part of. Since the middle of the last century, the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party the Kuomintang has retreated to Taiwan, forming a confrontation with New China. Later, under the manipulation of a small group of "Taiwan independence" forces, it has not been able to return to the embrace of the motherland. It is still in a state of separation and longs for the motherland. Complete reunification has become the greatest wish of the entire Chinese people.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Taiwan and the mainland established the " major three links ", and the two sides of the strait began to interact with each other. It was during that period that I went to Taiwan for a nine-day tour around the island. For our compatriots from the mainland, the treasure island of Taiwan is a very fascinating place. When I was a child, I often listened to the song "Grandma's Penghu Bay" and still remember it by heart. I always longed to see what Taiwan is like. In my strong heart Driven by my thoughts, I finally got my wish. At that time, I was traveling with a group. At that time, as cross-strait relations gradually eased, there were not many restrictions on non-governmental exchanges. You only needed to apply for a "Taiwan Travel Permit" at the local entry-exit management center.
In the evening of February 16, 2016, our China Eastern Airlines flight slowly landed at Taipei Taoyuan Airport. All mainland Chinese tourists visiting Taiwan lined up to wait in order to exchange for Taiwan entry passes. The next and most important step was to exchange RMB for New Taiwan dollar , I still vaguely remember that the exchange rate of and at that time was 4.991, which means that 1,000 yuan can be exchanged for 4,991 New Taiwan dollars (including handling fees). According to the itinerary, we did not stay in Taipei that night, but took the subway from Taipei (Quick Express in Taiwan at the time) to Kaohsiung . On the day we arrived in Taiwan, we rested in a hotel booked in Kaohsiung.
The next day (February 17), according to the tour guide of the docking travel agency, we went to visit Xiziwan Scenic Area and Dagou Consulate. The reason why we chose Xiziwan was because there are two major bathing beaches and Sun Yat-sen University. Scenic spots, bathing beaches are one of the eight major scenic spots in Kaohsiung. When night falls, the lights of fishing boats flicker and the sunset illuminates the sea, embellishing the sea into a beautiful scenery of sea and sky. Sun Yat-sen University is located near Shoushan and adjacent to Xizi Bay. Beautiful campus. In addition, there are also attractions such as the Seaside Park and Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Xiziwan. The British Consulate is located in Gushan, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. It was built in the Qing Dynasty. Because there are precious historical materials in the consulate, the consulate is also called Kaohsiung Historical Sites and Cultural Relics Museum. The British Consulate in Dagou has a very advantageous geographical location. It faces the Taiwan Strait to the west and is the only way for cargo ships to enter and leave the Kaohsiung Port. It faces Kaohsiung City to the east and can overlook the city and port of Kaohsiung.
In the early morning of the 18th, everyone had breakfast early and got on the tour bus to the Taiwan Aboriginal Cultural Park in Pingtung County, Kaohsiung. Here, they experienced the folk skills, handicrafts, Buddhist relics, tea pottery, food, and original materials of Taiwan’s aboriginal people. Resident performances and other performances leave a deep impression on people. It is the best place to understand Taiwan's aboriginal culture. After lunch, we went to Maobitou at the southernmost tip of Taiwan. Here is the sea as far as the eye can see. If you want to experience the stormy waves, this is the best choice. Because I was tired from the continuous journey, I continued to stay in Kaohsiung that night. After dinner, everyone made their own arrangements in twos and threes. I chose to go to one of the most famous luxury stores and bought two jewelry items. I spent a total of more than NT$60,000. The most expensive meal in Taiwan.
Early the next morning, everyone was a little tired, and some simply stayed in bed. No matter how hard the hotel phone called, everyone could still be lazy for a while. Even though I had the habit of getting up early for many years, I was also dragged by the continuous running. My whole body aches.According to the scheduled time, we postponed our trip to Cingjing Farm in Nantou County for an hour that day. The reason why we arranged Cingjing Farm is because it is rich in dozens of fruits and has a green grassland. Everyone may be salivating when talking about this. Come on, there are fruit growers’ masterpieces everywhere along the way. I’m afraid I’ve never even seen many of the fruits, let alone tasted them. If you are interested in a certain fruit, you can tell the grower clearly and pick one to taste first, but Never pick in private. Although it is tiring, having different fruits to accompany you along the way is also the best comfort to yourself. The green grassland here is very different from the grassland on the mainland. It mainly features tame sheep and equestrian performances. Here you can ride on it and show off your style on the lush grassland. In the afternoon, we drove to Alishan , located 75 kilometers east of Chiayi City. For mainland tourists, Alishan is a must-visit. It not only has indescribable scenery, but also local culture and special food. Folk performances, here you can get up close and personal with the beautiful girls of Alishan. They are simple and kind-hearted, and are very enthusiastic about guests from outside the mountains. The young men here are even more hospitable, as the song goes: "Alishan is as beautiful as water, The young men in Alishan are as strong as mountains."
On February 20, we headed north to the Chiang Kai-shek Cultural Park and Chiang Kai-shek’s former residence in Taichung City. We had a comprehensive tour of the park and Chiang Kai-shek’s former residence, and drove to Taipei that afternoon. After arriving in Taipei, we arrived at the hotel we booked early. Due to the tiredness from the past few days, everyone went into their rooms to rest after dinner.
Taipei has a subtropical monsoon climate , and the temperature is at least 5℃ higher than the coastal areas of the mainland, so there was no feeling of winter in Taiwan in February at that time. According to the itinerary, the next day (February 21) will mainly be in Taipei to visit the Taipei National Palace Museum, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Taipei 101 Building and other landmark attractions. Here we will focus on the National Palace Museum. Most of the museum’s collections are Chiang Kai-shek It was transported there before the defeat in Taiwan. It contained a large number of Chinese cultural relics and rare items. It took me a whole morning to view it. You can only imagine how many national treasures were transported from the mainland back then. Taipei 101 is a famous landmark building in Taiwan. It has 101 floors above ground and is commonly known as Taipei 101. Take the elevator from the first floor and then transfer to the high-speed elevator to reach the top floor. The top floor is surrounded by glass walls, overlooking the entire Taipei. of landforms.
On February 22, I visited various major attractions in New Taipei City , including Yehliu Geopark. New Taipei City was formerly known as Taipei County, and its terrain surrounds Taipei City. Yehliu Geopark is the most famous attraction in New Taipei City, mainly famous for its strange rock structures. We chose to rest in a hotel in New Taipei City that night. During dinner, the tour guide repeatedly emphasized that everyone could only eat half full. In the evening, he took everyone to taste various special snacks in Taiwan. Night markets in Taiwan are very popular. Because Taiwan as a whole mainly relies on tourism to drive economic development, there are night markets of different sizes in every place. For Taiwanese night market shop owners, they can identify at a glance who is from the mainland. They are particularly enthusiastic about tourists from the mainland. In order to compete for customers, they shout the slogan "Scan Alipay quick payment" from afar. At that time, Alipay in Taiwan had already Seizing the business opportunities, these stalls also hope to convert their goods directly into RMB, because the exchange rate of RMB in Taiwan continues to increase.
Early the next morning, we returned from Taipei to Taichung . You may ask why we went back and forth like this, because we were returning to the mainland from Tainan Airport , so it became an island tour. We visited the Chiang Kai-shek Cultural Park on the 20th, and on the 23rd we visited a street of various porcelain and handicrafts in Lukang Town, Taichung City. Generally speaking, it was very good, but these things are not convenient to carry on the plane. Didn't buy much. I rushed to the Buddha Memorial Hall in Kaohsiung in the afternoon. I have never been too interested in Buddhism, so I just walked around and got a general understanding.That night, we stayed at a hotel in Kaohsiung, visited several night views of Kaohsiung, and bought some local specialties. It was also the last night in Kaohsiung of our nine-day trip to Taiwan. Everyone packed up the clothes and items they purchased. On February 24th, we returned to the mainland as scheduled and arrived safely at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport . I would also like to emphasize here that everyone must not ignore your Taiwan entry pass and various procedures because of the return trip, because after getting off the plane, You will need to check the immigration procedures again.
Overall, this trip was a good experience. It fulfilled my dream of visiting Taiwan for many years. However, there is a small regret, that is, I did not go to Taiwan's Sun Moon Lake . If there is still a chance, Sun Moon Lake will be my first choice. I would also like to tell netizens here that if you want to visit Taiwan and don’t know what details to pay attention to or want to know some strategies, you can send me a private message or leave a message and I will reply to you one by one.
