3.5 National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium 國立海洋生物博物館

After our lunch, we headed to the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium ( 國立海洋生物博物館). We plan to take the public bus but as the Aquarium last entry is 5pm. That time was around 3.15pm. We decided to take a cab to there, fee is NT$400 per car.

We leave our luaggage with the homestay and we pre-book the car driver to pick us up at the Aquarium at 6.30pm, which means we no need to carry our huge luaggage and walk around the Aquarium.

Entrance Fee to the whole park is NT$450. We brought it for NT$400 from our homestay.
A place inside the park, huge whales and fountains and water - it's water pool for children to play.

Huge squild made with metals ~

There are several section on the park, such as corals, sea life, fossil ....
I enjoy more on the natural coral section.



And these lovely cute penguin ~ and off course it is cool inside here. I have a video on these cute penguin, will update them later.

There is a place where we can see the sinking ships, surrounding with the sea life.

Pretty white whale

I love those jelly fishes...

There are only 2 of these sea lion on the park. He is so cute ~ he will peak on you and see if u are looking at him and if u are, he will start to swim and perform trick for you. Haha~!

Sea creatures that we can touch.

It's still fun visiting the Aquarium Park, it's more meaningful if you are taking your kids around.

3.4 Kenting National Park 垦丁国家公园 Part 2

The next morning, we started our journey with the Blue line mark on the map.

Our journey path:
Kenting Main Road (垦丁大街) -> Sail Rock (船帆石) -> Banana Bay (香蕉灣) -> Shadao beach(砂島) -> Eluanbi Park(鵝鑾鼻公園) -> Most South Part (最南點)-> Lungpan Park (龍磐公園) -> FengChueiSha(風吹沙) - > Gangkou Suspension Bridge(港口吊橋) -> Back to Homestay


First we reach Sail Rock (船帆石), a huge rock standing alone in the ocean.


Beach at the Sail Rock ~ so blue and beautiful


Harbour Banana Bay (香蕉灣) - isn't it the sea is too clean for a harbour? There is a place for swiming on Banana Bay but we didn't saw it!


After the Banana Bay, we drove to the Eluanbi Park(鵝鑾鼻公園).

Entrance Fee is $20(n.p $40), discount using the travel youth card.


Within the park, there are a number of recreational facilities and a wide range of interesting geological, botanical and ornithological features.


Becareful for snake and incests on the park ~

This park is famous for this most notable landmarks - the Eluanbi Lighthouse. The Eluanbi Lighthouse is also known as the "Light of East Asia"


The rest of the parks are those cave's form by natural stones, cliffs and trees...


Just beside the Eluanbi Park, we drove to the Most South Part (最南點) of Taiwan. It's another just a place to see more on the sea.


We drove again up the hill, later we passed by Lungpan Park (龍磐公園).The Park features spectacular sheer slumping cliffs, coastal terraces and of course again, beautiful views of the sea.


After the Lungpan Park, we arrive at FengChueiSha(風吹沙). Something special of the FengChueiSha is the strong northeasterly winds blow the sand up to the top of the cliffs. See the sand behind me ~! There are from the sea.

Later we arrive at Gangkou Suspension Bridge(港口吊橋), was just wondering why there is a suspension bridge at here.



We missed the Shadao beach(砂島) and we found it on our way back to our homestay.

Over the years, seashells, rhizaria and coral have create the fine white sand for which Shadao’s beach is famous.


But now it is prohibited to enter the sand area as too much sand has been taken away by visitors




We went back to our homestay and return the bike to the shop. We headed to have our lunch at Kenting Main Road. Here are the seafood we have for lunch which cost us NT$600++ ~ not cheap having seafood at Kenting

Coming next: National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium

3.3 Heng Chun 恒春 & Cape No 7 海角七号 Movie Scene

Continue on the last post, we headed to Hengchuen(恒春) -> ChuHuo(出火特别景观区)

This is route for the day, highlighted on bold is the place that I am going to write more at this post:
Kenting Main Road(垦丁大街) -> South Bay(南灣) -> Houbihu (后壁湖) -> Maubitou(貓鼻頭) -> White Sand Beach (白沙灣海滩)-> GuanShan(關山) -> Hengchuen(恒春) -> ChuHuo(出火特别景观区) -> Back to Homestay

The day was getting dark and we headed to Heng Chun(恒春). Heng Chun is also the only urban township in the southern part of Pingtung County.

On the way to Heng Chun, we passed by beautiful views of green paddy fields.




We reach Heng Chun and saw this sign board. It was one of the movie scene -〈海角七号中山老街〉.


Most of the people at Heng Chun know this place - Aga House 〈阿嘉之屋〉. I think Cape No. 7 is a sucessful movie, as the number of visitor visiting Kenting increase after that movie. And these movie scence are now one of a travel destination for visitors. If you are lost like us, just hop down from your bike and ask anyone, they are so kind to help on directions.

This is the bike that we use on our trip. Entrance fee is NT$50 per person - abit expensive.

There is so much photos of the movie scence inside the house.

The 2 window glasses that had been broken by Tomoko and now there have repaired them with their signature on it.

The letters......

There is a girl inside the house where she will help us take photos on the house. It is somehow like a standard shot of position on the house. She help us take more then 30 shots in this small room and I have selected 2 to show here.

TS wearing Aga Postman Uniform ...

Me wearing Tomoko's hat and bags.

Just a few steps out of Aga House, there is the post office which Aga works at.

On our way to find our dinner, we passed by this XiMen(西门), one of the movie scence too.

This is the famous Duck Meat Noodle〈鸭肉东粉〉that our homestay owner told us.

Taste good ~~

Some food that the local's introduce to me -duck meat, rice cubes, intestine(don't know duck or chickhen) and some seaweed. Surprisingly the intestine taste good.

Next we reach ChuHuo Special Scenic Area 〈出火特别景观区〉. Chuhuo earns its name from the natural gas that leaks from numerous fissures in the mudstone ground here. When it is light up, the fire never stops.

It's a bad idea to go at night, as there is no road lights on the stairs toward the ChuHuo area. We manage to use our cellphone lights to walk until this area.

TS trying to cook the egg we brought infront of the ChuHuo.

Someone else trying to cook popcorn too... It really pop's

Our egg~! Taste like telur bakar (barbeque egg)

On our way home, we pass by 7-11 to buy some to toiletries. I spotted these..... Omg, aren't there so cute? How I wish 7-11 in Malaysia have these.

7-11 mascot dolls and T-shirt. Each travel place have it's own unique design and pattern. I will post more in the future post. The T-shirt is $350 and the doll is $390 each.

This is the Kenting Main Road Night Market. It is just outside of our homestay. It close at 11pm ~ consider early at compare to Taipei's Night Market which usually close at 1am.
