旗津 (Cijin)

Cijin is a small island in Kaohsiung district. It is famous for its seafood production and of course as a tourist spot in Kaohsiung. Initially, we plan to pay a visit around 3pm.....knowing that it has a very big night market, but halfway change our mind after seeing all other interesting spot available~

So we took the MRT to Sizihwan station and walk to the port. Funniest thing about this trip is that, 10 minutes before we leave our hostel, no one actually knows how to reach Cijin......and everyone was asking, who knows how to go arr?~ Again, thank you Google and netizens for the very precious info~

Waiting for the ferry...quite a long queue

15 NTD per person, but you can get 3 NTD discount if you have any student identification~

The journey was quite short, less than 15 minutes only

We decided to rent a bicycle to round the island.....

Our destination map...screw it! totally misleading!

Star tunnel.....nothing special actually~

At the end of d tunnel

Hungry, decided to grab some lunch first before continue sight seeing... Forums and food blogs recommended this stall....quoting as regret if you don't try~

Regretted to say...totally overated~

The stall next to it taste nicer~

mmm...hmmm~slurp~

Kimchi sotong ball~

never like kimchi~ and also not so interesting la~

This is really good. Sausage....cute to start with, and taste very good~

Glutinous rice enclosing sausages....mediocre....

Big bowl ice~ How big? Lets see~

Very very big! Full with grapes, banana, starfruits, papaya, pineapples and some other materials....very nice actually, especially in such hot day...but cost 180 NTD~~~

Wah!!!

Normal ice cream la~ just with some gimmick....

I thought it was some sort of key chain or souvenirs.... suddenly when they started moving around I realize they are still alive.... totally unacceptable!

This fort was built to defends against pirates~

Tourist can hike to the top for the fort and light house...to be honest, not so worth for all those hard work...but totally worth it for all these scenery~

Even Cape Rachado in PD is much better than this light house~

But from the top, we can almost eagle view the whole of Cijin

Cijin beach~

Fountain located beside d beach......

Still alot of places havent visit...most importantly we must reach the windmill before sunset~ No time for others I guess...The war memorial plaza~

I have never seen a real windmill except from pictures. Holland one seems much greater in terms of design and outlook~ ha!

Sunset are always beautiful......too bad its so short live......

Dinner time! My favourite 肉燥饭 (Hot Meat Rice?). Very nice but might be abit oily~ However, this is not as good as the one I tried near KMU~

They even add in some chicken floss~

Oyster fried eggs~ Still prefer then one from Sarawak...crispy yummy~ =P

I get at least a cup of red tea daily these days....Taiwanese love to mix red tea with other drinks....the fusion seems to be the magic that makes their drinks so special~ This is a lemon red tea....special and interesting eh?~

Throwing rings and redeem prize~ Always a scam~ 50 NTD for 50 rings and yup..none went in~ =.=

Chinese opera just beside the port~

Quite a tiring but enjoyable day. Saw alot of new stuffs and learn quite alot in this journey.... Hope for a more interesting one next week! Can't wait~ Until then, night~~ For more picture, kindly log on to here~
