2009

This is the first time to use the mileages to exchange the tickets of Dragonair. In this vacation, I stayed 3 days in Taichung and 3 days in Kaohsiung. These 6 days were rounded by unstable weather. I experienced sunny, shower, cloudy and strong wind in these days. I got a valuable experience in this vacation. I knew that a sealed water-proof camera and a pair of water repellant shoes are the both strong weapons in a shower day. Without either one of them, the result will be "total lost".

There is one thing that I appreciated is the nice and friendly citizens of Taiwan. I am sure that their help is a lubricator to make all things became smoother. I should visit Taiwan again in the near future.

25th April, 2009 ~ Arrived Kaohsiung and took aviation photos in Kaohsiung International Airport. Went to Taichung from Kaohsiung by THSR (Taiwan High Speed Rail).
26th April, 2009 ~ Went to Changhua and Jiji.
27th April, 2009 ~ Visited Sun Moon Lake, the most famous lake in Taiwan.
28th April, 2009 ~ Went to Kaohsiung from Taichung by coach and cruised on Love River.
29th April, 2009 ~ Went to Tainan and visited Chihkan Towers, Fort Anping and the other heritages.
30th April, 2009 ~ City sightseeing in Kaohsiung and returned to Hong Kong.
