We wake up early to go to the Taipei International Flower Expo. Our schedule was changed so that we could go on a weekday as we heard that the queue would be very long on a weekend. Entrance fee is NT 300.
We took the MRT to Yuanshan station. Indeed there were a lot of people but surprisingly it was a very orderly event. Most of the visitors seem to be local residents. The expo encompasses a very large area and can possibly take a few days to view everything.
One tip though, go to the various stations to get your viewting tickets first before starting to view those exhibits that do not need tickets. Most exhibits do not need tickets. When we managed to get some tickets, the viewing time was for 3 pm to 7pm which were too late for us.
The flowers on display were dazzling.
You can really smell the scent of flowers as you walked among them.
After the expo, we took the High Speed Rail to Taichung (about 1 hr, NT 700). The HSR was clean and nice. Reaching Taichung, we took an hour bus to Nantou followed by a 50 min-taxi ride (NT 800) to reach Cingjing that is at an altitude of 1750m. It was close to 8 pm when we arrived at our Euro Country Villa Minshu.
