It was an unplanned detour. Recommended by the owner of Cingjing Starry Minsu. He is a very caring uncle and very hospitable. Though we are just there for a night, he introduced the place to us with passion and wasn't pushy in anyway.
He thought that we might want to see the sunrise at the mountain the next day and helped to arrange for it. It was only like less than $20 per pax. He even offered Big Key and Lady Key some jackets to fight the cold up there. Big Key and Lady Key didn't bring any winter clothes. Keykey was naked!
Furthermore, he and his wife also provided a hot water bottle and hot water for Keykey to bring along. Perfect for his morning tea at the peak!
Early morning, keykey woke everyone up! He rushed out and saw this at the balcony.
"The sun is waking! Hurry up!"
This is despite the starry skies. So many stars~
No time for the starry night. Soon, we were off in a bus. Heard that we are the last few up the buses as our minsu is highest of the town.
The journey took around an hour. The route just winds around the mountains. There was a sense of urgency in the driver. Somehow, it appears that we might miss the sunrise. Keykey was very anxious too!
Our destination finally. It was somewhere along the road with a large balcony. Hehuanshan.
The sunrise.
Keykey amazed by how the sunrise lit up the entire place. It was freezing cold, especially for naked keykey.
The amazing scenery around.
Keykey was left out of this pic. Hehee.
After watching the sunrise, the driver took everyone to several viewpoints to look around.
This was particularly special to Keykey. He was told by the tour guide that on a good day, he can see until Hualian side. Keykey has never been so high up a tree before.
The temperature up here. This is when Taichung is like 20 - 30 degrees Celsius!
Keykey enjoying the warmth of the sun.
Keykey went to so many places to see and cannot remember all with his teeny weeny head.
After the tour, Keykey headed back to Starry minsu for his breakfast. Prepared by the owner and his lovely wife.
Keykey fav food!
Keykey then spent the rest of his morning walking around. He wanted to stay for more days but sadly the itinerary was too packed. The minsu is really relaxing and the owner is really very nice.
Keykey snooped around at the garden in front.
One last look at the homely minsu.
Last play with the windmill.
One last swing?
Keykey tidied up the room before leaving.
After checking out, Keykey took the nantou bus down to Taichung area. This time round, he stayed at the Galerie Hotel 拓程商旅 as it was near to Feng Chia Night Market ( 逢甲夜市). It was the most happening night market there.
After checking in, Keykey brought Big Key and Lady Key to eat western.
After that, they all went Fengjia night market to shop! And eat!
Some budget fried Maggie mee. Lots of students eating inside. Big Key rushed in too!
Followed by some youtiao with zhuchangfen.
The trip up to Hehuanshan was the best moment of the trip. Not sure if it was the impromptuness, the nice sunrise, the cool weather, the cheap price or just the company of Bigkey and Lady key!
