Taiwan (台湾) 2011 (Part 5)

Last year, I made my first visit to Taiwan, R.O.C. I was very busy after I got back and never got a chance to look through them and pick out the photos I'm going to post. I finally took out enough time to finish, so... Here they are! I did not take many photo there as the tropical weather made me very sick. I will be splitting them into a total of 8 parts. I hope you enjoy viewing them!

我去年去台湾旅游了一次。我会把这些照片分成八章文章。

Parts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 

Today, I got the rest of the photos from the Mao Kong Gondola (猫空缆车) and will start the photos of the top of Taipei 101.

今天我有最后几张在猫空缆车上拍的照片，和开始台北101的照片。

Was pretty high up on the gondola. Managed to get a good landscape shot of Taipei.  

Taipei 101 

Another landscape shot. Tower on the right is Taipei 101.  

Scenery 

So I get off the Mao Kong Gondola and it is beginning to get dark out. I went to the Taipei 101 observatory. There is Taipei 101 in the background. 

我离开了猫空缆车去台北101上面参观。

I thought it would be nice to get a few low angle shots of the tower.  

This is the Taipei 101 mall.  

There is the observatory ticketing office.  

Great views from up above.  

Scenery as seen from inside the tower. 

Some souvenir stores and snack stores at the top of Taipei 101.  

I forgot to bring a tripod or a mini tripod with me. It was dark outside, and I tried my best. This photo has slight motion blur... Looking through my other photos, I had worse. This one wasn't too bad so I posted it. 

Another photo inside the top of the tower of the visitor section.  

Another landscape shot of Taipei.  

Doesn't the lights look beautiful? 

That is all the photos for today. On the next post, I will finish off posting the photos from the top of Taipei 101 and begin the photos I took of my trip to Sun Moon Lake (日月潭). Please remember to share this blog post with your friends! I hope you have enjoyed it!

我下一次会把最后几张在台北101拍的照片登出来。我下一次也会开始登出来在日月潭拍的照片。

Yang Ming Shan National Park (阳明山国家公园)/Mao Kong Gondola (猫空缆车) - Taiwan (台湾) 2011 (Part 4)

Today, I got the rest of the photos from Yang Ming Shan National Park (阳明山国家公园), National Palace Museum (国立故宫博物院), and photos from the Mao Kong Gondola (猫空缆车).

我今天有最后几张在阳明山国家公园拍的照片。我今天也有国立故宫博物院和在猫空缆车上面拍的照片。

Continuing the steam vent photos from the last post. 

Here is the hot springs I was talking about in my last post. This is the outdoor hot spring. They also got an indoor one right next to it (not in the picture). From what I've heard, the water is very good for you and is believed to cure certain medical conditions. 

I have never seen this bird in the US before, that's why I took a photo. I will need your help with the name as I only have a North America bird guide and I doubt it will help me with tropical birds. LOL If you know the name, tell me in a comment below! Thanks!

These cricket like things was making a lot of chirping sounds all through the park. I forgot the name. 

This was a photo of the entrance of the National Palace Museum (国立故宫博物院). No photography was allowed inside, so this is the only photo I have. National Palace Museum is also a tourist attraction in Taipei. It is an art museum and contains a lot of ancient works of art. I highly recommend you go check it out if you visit Taiwan. 

Landscape shot of Taipei.

The blue building is Taipei 101. 

Outside the entrance of the Mao Kong Gondola (猫空缆车). The Mao Kong Gondola is also a tourist attraction in Taipei. 

Inside the Mao Kong Gondola, there are 2 different Gondolas. At the time of visiting, the prices were the same for the ride, it's just that you need to wait if you want the special "Eyes of Mao Kong". 

The difference between the regular gondola ride and the "Eyes of Mao Kong" is that the "Eyes of Mao Kong" has a glass bottom allowing you to see through. I went for the "Eyes of Mao Kong". 

Photo of gondola ride. This is going up hill. 

Now down hill. 

There is Taipei 101 in the distance.

Another shot of the gondola ride. 

This is a picture of the view under the bottom. Not that good of a view... Maybe because the glass is thick and is dirty. 

This photo reminds me of Pokemon Emerald for some reason. LOL

View of Taipei. 

Another shot of the gondola ride. 

Thanks for looking. That is all for this post. Next time, I have the rest of the gondola photos and photos of the view from the top of Taipei 101! Please check back!
