We woke up at 4am early in the morning. At 6 am, we arrived Taipei Main Station to exchange our Klook THSR train tick ets. Be there early as queue has started and remember to bring your passport along! We took the first THSR train (6.30am) and left from Taipei to Taichung. It was about an-hour ride journey. We reached about 7.45am and our driver drove us to Qingjing Farm. 1.

But, t he weather was indeed  chilly and nice, we got to see some cherry blossoms too!    Yangming Flower Clock ( 陽明公園花鐘 ) My cousin went a week after me and the weather was just nice, so pretty isn't it?  On the way down, we decided to get some sweet potatoes.  They were not cheap but they taste heavenly good!! Oh, and  they cooked with the traditional way (charcoal) and the size was BIGG  👍 👍 👍          Zhu Zhi Hu aka ''Bamboo Lake'' ( 竹子湖 ) This place is HUGE!! However, the calla lilies  (海芋)are all fenced up, hence it was hard to take a photo without the fence blocking.  As we entered on a s
