Sunset at \u6de1\u6c34\u6e14\u4eba\u7801\u5934\u00a0was a magical moment for both of us, for it was our first sunset together in the 4 years together. Catching the city view of Taipei at night on top of Taipei 101 was spectacular, as we overlook the entire city at 89 storeys above ground. A glimpse of the first waterfall of my life &#8211; \u5341\u5206\u5927\u7011\u5e03\u00a0and the short but sweet rainbow moment made the 1.5 hours of travelling by train all worthwhile. \u6545\u5bab and its exhibits were breathtaking, imagine jade in the shape of pork belly and lettuce, you would be amazed at the skills and expertise of the ancient people. Real-time history lessons conducted by Mister alongside our visits to \u4e2d\u6b63\u7eaa\u5ff5\u5802 and \u56fd\u7236\u7eaa\u5ff5\u9928.

Food was definitely another huge plus point for us. Breakfast was never an issue because \u6c38\u5408 was there for us. A hearty breakfast with \u6e29\u8c46\u6d46\u00a0and \u8471\u6293\u997c, it marks a good start to our day. &#8216;\u60f3\u597d\u624d\u70b9&#8217; was the pet phrase of the shopowner and I always eagerly await to catch him say that every morning. Then it would be lunch stopovers at \u9f0e\u6cf0\u8c50 or \u9ad8\u8bb0 for some chinese food refuel to keep us going till the night. Alternatively, we would be at those themed restaurants for some different vibes. We tend to be really unhealthy for our dinner because I remembered we ate \u8c6a\u5927\u5927\u9e21\u6392 for 3 of the 5 nights and a hotpot\/barbecue buffet on our last night. And I must comment that \u70b8\u725b\u5976 is one of the best street food I have eaten in Taipei. Soft yet crispy on the outside, bursting with milky flavour on every bite!
