I didn’t have a chance in the last report to show any of the night market pics – so here they are, including the wonderful t-shirt I bought Shanhong! You can also see the result of her blue sweets!

Today started with another drive – stopping off en-route at a tea plantation, where we were able to pick some leaves and have a tasting. Shanhong bought some green-tea powder, but I am not a fan of any kind of tea! It was then on to the Sun Moon Lake for an early lunch.

After lunch we headed to the Wen Wu Temple where we appear to have taken lots of photos!

From Wen Wu temple, we drove via a Peacock Farm, to the lake itself where we had a boat ride.

From the Sun Moon Lake it was another drive to Taichung for the night, and a visit to the Fong Jia Night Market, similar to the one illustrated at the top of this report. Night markets in Taiwan seem to be more about food and clothes than the handicrafts and souvenirs we are used to from Thailand.
So, there you have another day – I hope you are enjoying this tour of Taiwan with us – just one report to go. Do take care and do keep in touch!
