The view of the sunset against the open sea just got us and the never ending stream of motorbikes traveling on the bridge back to HCMC reminded me of town back home.

Nevertheless, it was a pretty sight. 

  

 The place had a village like look which was not something often seen back in Singapore.
It reminded me of Batam actually, not much clue why. Haha

Being in a foreign land alone (well kinda) just ain't easy.. sighs

Yay! Here's our selfie for our first time on the HSR.

The journey down took about an hour and thank God the seats were comfortable!~
Upon arrival, we got up a taxi and booked the guy for an entire day at about 2500NT
The "tour" probably ended around 6+ 7pm so the cost kind of depends on how long the cabbie uncle is booked for (:
Our first destination was the Mushroom Farm!~

Of course, what's a meal without dessert right?

Here's presenting to you the first ever heard of Mushroom Flavoured Ice Cream.

It wasn't exactly my type of ice cream but c'mon how often do you come across flavours like this.

Our second destination of the day was Lavender Cottage.

We spent a total of 2hr in this little paradise cause we just couldn't stop snapping photos.

The place is simply gorgeous, well to me at the very least. 

On our way down, we managed to catch a glimpse of this rare sight of the sunset (according to our driver) whereby the sun and the horizon? are all in a straight row. 

It was simply beautiful and the photo probably didn't do justice to the actual scene.

We too had taro dessert at a place nearby which was said to be really famous (40NT/bowl) but I didn't get a shot of it cause I was just wayy to tired that it slipped my mind. 

(Oopsies..)

To end of our day 1 at Taichung, we had to visit the feng chia night market without a doubt.

Be sure to try the all time famous Da chang bao xiao chang (40NT) as well as the bear paw bao (55-60NT)
