Little did we know that actually we spent most of our time in taipei city....
Plans of going around taiwan were disrupted because of typhoon......
On the first day of our arrival... we go to the airport service counter only to find out that the strongest typhoon taiwan is gg to ever meet is also arriving....
The estimate time is within the few days although the exact timing isyet to be confirmed...
Thus plans of going to alishan is to be on hold until it is safe to go there..
ANd we are going to do our taipei city tour....
This is the park we went to.. its near our hotel... There is a museum within... and a fountain?
not really sure how to describe it... so i just let the pictures do the telling....
This is how small the sign plate is
the park

taking photo again with the "sign"

After that we proceed on with taking the subway to guo fu ji nian tang

Tada..... the front view... its just magnificant...
This is where the body lies.... inside this building.. we have to climb the flight of stairs.....

Its quite a long process..... n its not v interesting anyway....... bored......

N there is a lot of other stuff.....
paintings etc....
Its quite a big place..... we actually got lost inside..... all of us are divided into groups.. N we cant find each other.....
luckily eventually we manage to get back again..
We left the place....... weather was so hot that we decided to go to the 7-11 nearby....

We reached the subway eventually.....
Taking a rest again.. so hot n tired........
