I almost forgot I have a blog! Guess we have been busy with Instagram and its stories... made us forgot to compile all those nice pictures and information to share. I keep my blog as my diary, perhaps till blogger discontinued it service one day.
The trip to KHH (KaohSiung) was rather eventful one. We were late to the gate, we were all delayed close to an hour because there were some medical rescue in the plane.
Checked in 85 Sky Tower, one of the tallest building. Apparently the building has it rooms/apartments managed by a few homestay company. Nevertheless, the stay was great with spacious room and nice view.

Our main theme for the trip to Taiwan this year was all about island. We targeted 2 main attraction islands to explore. There were nothing to do with cycling this year. I was geared up all the way with snorkelling mask and rash guard to the islands. Unfortunately, storm strikes and we were all stuck!
First Island - LiuLi (琉璃島)
In order to get to LiuLi (琉璃島) island, we have to board the boat from DongGang (東港). We stopped by this place during our cycling trip last year. We rented a motorcycle to hit some tourist spot within the island.
We did a day trip while still staying at KaohSiung. Took a taxi to DongGang in the morning.

Next stop - TaiNan (台南)
It was expected to be a foodie stop. So much food to explore, so little time! haha... Our hotel was located strategically around some food centre. Yet, need some working and exploration.
Though, we wrongly explored a place during dinner time. In which, all shops and walking streets closes at 5PM. We caught nothing else to do except had a bowl of beef noodle at
阿財牛肉湯.

Next Stop - BuDaiGang (布袋港)
It's a place that not many overseas tourist will stop by. It's a small town with its jetty to PengHu (澎湖) island. We took a train ride from TaiNan (台南) to XinYing (新營), then transfer to a bus to BuDaiGang.

We walked into the fish market and found some food stalls in there. Serving dinner time too.
A simple meal with fresh sashimi cost not more than NTD1,000.
