Starts the day by boarding the little train (五分车) to go to The Cow's Home (乳牛的家).

Next, we went to the Sun Moon Lake (日月潭). Had our lunch first before going to the Peacock Garden (孔雀园). A pity it was raining, the peacock were not let out of their cage.

Then we travel a bit down the road to the Wen Wu Temple (文武庙). Wen refers to Confucius, while Wu refers to General Guan Yu and Yue Fei. This area was very much affected by a massive earthquake a few years ago. And part of the temple was re-constructed.

After this was another few hours of journey to Taichung (台中). We were brought to our hotel, and had dinner, before we were dropped at a night market. This was a different one from the itinerary (which was 蓬甲夜市). This night market is called Yizhong Night Market (一中夜市).

Yi Zhong Night Market

The night market stretches to a few streets and there were some small building with shops which we could go into. We bought a some little snacks as we go along.

We took a taxi back to Taichung Central Mall (德安购物中心), which is just beside our hotel. Explored a bit at the shopping mall before taking a drink at one of the shops at level one. Finally went back to hotel just before midnight.
