Read Part 2 here

Starting my day with a cup of house blended coffee at Via Hotel!
Our Day 3 itinerary! Going to soak in some Beitou Hot Spring! (:
Selfie at Beitou Station waiting for the train to Xin Beitou!

Actually we came to Taipei with no itinerary at all. It is quite easy to walk about if you know Chinese and do a little research online!

Chance upon this Culture Centre about 原住民
I bought a Taiwan tee shirt inside hehe.
Continued with our journey up the small town!
Hot Springs along the way ~
Joined in since many people also went down to soak in the natural hot spring water!
It is really warm de o_o But not the water is not very clean so just go for the experience (:

Map of Xin Beitou (: There are quite a number of museums, library that you can visit here. And LOTS of hot spring resort. After all, this is what they are popular for. The museums are quite boring so maybe you can skip that :/ But it's FOC ._.
 At Hot Spring Valley! Thank god for selfie stick, we manage to take so many couple shots haha.
Enjoying the strawberry milk ice cream that Gary bought but I snatch over to eat *abit* cause so nice!!
Here's the Hot Spring Valley! The water in the lake is boiling omg. And you can smell the sulphur from far away. 
By the way, someone's mobile phone/camera dropped into the lake omg. 
And the freaking husband still climb over and want to take it!!!
Siao, cannot imagine if he fall into the lake. Confirm become roasted uncle.
I don't know what the wife is thinking also lor, she actually didn't stop her husband from such dangerous act! Tsk tsk.

So point to learn, grab your gadgets tightly.

We decided on this resort for some hot spring soaking!
Chose private room hot spring cause we didn't bring any swimwear. If not, you can choose for the outdoor hot spring!
How the corridors look like
How the room looks like
It's not meant for you to sleep la anyway, but they have simple items like towel and hair dryer so that you can use after the hot spring!
Say cheese! :D
Feeling all fresh after the hot spring!
Actually abit giddy also. That's why you can't soak too long cause it's a little stuffy!
Our complimentary food after the hot spring! It's included in the package (:

Headed to Dan Shui afterwards since it's pretty near!
淡水老街
Got ourselves some xiao long bao on the way!
Super yummmm

Later we headed to take the boat to Fisherman's Wharf.
Ok the boat seriously made me damn seasick ._. 
Caught sunset :)
Old school!
We headed back to South Island Homestay again but changed to another room.
This room is much newer!
Yup, just look at the toilet bowl.
Ending this post with some awesome orh-jian. Our supperrrrr. (Yes, we bought two sets from different stalls just to compare hahaha)
