Ion Sky – Singapore

July 1, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

Ion Sky is one of the best tourist atraction in Singapore. Ion sky is located at Orchard Road Singapore. It is very interesting that Ion is 3 in 1 which mean there is 3 Ion in one building. They are Ion Orchard, Ion Sky as well as Ion gallery. Ion sky is quite hard to find because it is located in the Ion Orchard Shopping mall. Ion sky is for people to view this beautiful City of Singapore which is kind of observatory. This is just very similar with Taipei 101 the tallest building.

Ion Sky is at 56 levels above Orchard Road, 218 metres into the clouds. Surround yourself with sweeping 360° panoramic views of Singapore and enjoy ION Sky’s multimedia experience.

The elevator all the way unimpeded came to the 55/56th floors, and the elevator door will open automatically in the moment you arrive door opens. Indeed ION SKY viewing platform more like a scenic trail, although it does have that set up in the 56th floor had a table viewing it here so that i can stop viewing place or in the carpeted walkway to ring Mainly, this circular walkway is connected from the observation deck on the 56th floor to the left and right sides to the front of the elevator floor on the 55th floor. This observation journey is actually the uphill trail after i am stepped on the entrance of ION SKY the moment has already begun because beside the trail for a view of that wall is composed of a plurality of transparent glass floor wall of glass windows composed of only architecture horizontal and vertical frame length glass wall seems a little too much, their views are divided “fragmented” Have.

Since being an observation deck, ION SKY naturally wants to introduce some of the scenery around here! And the way to introduce here is very simple, that is place the names you should pay attention to directly on the glass windows! Although the direction arrow is also marked above the place name, it is difficult for people unfamiliar with this area to find the real scene!

While looking at the scenery outside the window and walking up the walkway, I suddenly found that the top of the walkway was actually a transparent glass roof [surprise]
(Wow! Everyone else has a glass floor, this is actually a glass roof! Very special!). Especially Special, but I think ION SKY is only installed to save power! Because the roof glass is covered with a little sticker. Anyway, this glass roof not only appears on the trail, but also on the periphery of the observation deck on the 56th floor!

While observing the information while climbing the slope, we walked to the highest point of ION SKY-just before the observation deck on the 56th floor, stepped on the wooden floor of the observation deck, and immediately saw another “bouncer” in a suit with a straight back. Is this ION SKY very advanced or very dangerous place? Anyway, this observation deck on the 56th floor is not only an observation deck, but in fact it is more like a rest area because in addition to the quite “advanced” toilets, there are more than ten round sofas placed here Stool for everyone.

After walking around the protruding rest area, I went back to the intersection of the observation trail and the observation deck on the 56th floor. When I was about to continue to enjoy the scenery, I found that several horizontal windows are covered with Lehenge. Iron Bar Lean! These thick iron bars are really annoying! The scenery outside the window is almost completely invisible! Just when I was going to skip these floor-to-ceiling windows, I suddenly found that one of the floor-to-ceiling windows was covered with a translucent board. I just looked up and found out that the board says ION SKY is certified by the Cloud Appreciation Association. Official point of view! Oh~~ This is no wonder, no wonder some of the floor-to-ceiling windows here will have information about clouds! [Nod] Um… but what an unknown organization this Cloud Watching Association is? Why haven’t you heard it?

Because the ION SKY observation deck where I were now is 218 meters above the ground, it is the highest point in this area, so here, in addition to enjoying the surrounding scenery without any obstacles, you can also look out very very far! It is said that even as far as Johor Bharu Malaysia and Batam Island of Indonesia can be seen from their side! You can also see some well-known attractions in Singapore such as Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Flyer and Singapore Sports City!

Cool! Seriously, I’m really never thought that I could see this view here! Really great place to see and do!

Merlion Park – Singapore

May 31, 2020May 31, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

I am sharing about the best destination in Singapore today. I’m going to introduce about Merlion Park Singapore. It is the most popular tourist attractions in Singapore.

The Merlion Park in Singapore which is only sprays water, should be the most iconic and iconic landmark in Singapore! As long as tourists who come to Singapore to travel, they will definitely come to take pictures with the Merlion. In addition to recording the Merlion himself, this article also sorted out several popular Singapore attractions around Merlion Park. , You can arrange to play on the same day when planning your trip.

General introduction

Merlion Park is the must-see attraction in Singapore. It is a famous landmark and symbol of Singapore. This mascot represents the Lion City of Singapore and it is erected on the banks of the Singapore River. Tourists will never forget to leave a photo in front of the Merlion. Memorial photo! In addition to admiring the Merlion during the day, there are also beautiful light shows projected on the Merlion Park at night and the night area is even more charming. Be sure to come and enjoy the night view. Should not be missed!

Merlion Park is the smallest park in Singapore and it is located next to the Fulton Hotel, covering 0.25 hectares of ground, with an open deck, so that visitors can walk in front of the Merlion and take as many pictures as they want. Merlion is a fictional lion head animal. It was designed in 1964 by Mr. Fraser Brunner, then director of the Van Kleef Aquarium. It was adopted by the New Brigade as a symbol two years later and was used until 1997. During this period, the Merlion has become a representative of Singapore, like the Eiffel Tower in France or the Statue of Liberty in the United States.

The fish tail as a city identification of Singapore, representing excellent character such as courage, wisdom, strength, and fish tail lion also symbolizes the hardcoming of the first batch of the ancestors of fighting. The most well-known fishhouses are located in the East Bay of Singapore, which is a preferred attraction of Singapore’s historical culture.

The image of the merlion lion head fish body originated from the title of Singapore in Malay. In Malay, Singapore is called “Singapura”, the meaning of the word is “lion”, which is why Singapore. There is no lion but it is the reason for being a lion city.

**This is the another Merlion in Sentosa 😍I will share more about the Sentosa Island on the new blog topic later.**

There are 7 merlion statues in Singapore, distributed at the Singapore Tourism Board, Sentosa Island, Mount Faber and Hongmao Bridge, but the most well-known and not to be missed is the Merlion Park near Marina Bay. The Merlion statue in the Merlion Park near Marina Bay is 8.8 meters high and weighs 70 tons. It faces the Eastern Marina Bay and overlooks the Eastern waters of Singapore, symbolizing the spirit of Singaporeans’ continuous exploration. Next to this statue, there is also a small merlion statue, two meters high and 3 tons in weight, which is also a favorite photo place for tourists like me.

Merlion Park and Singapore’s other landmark, Marina Bay Sands, are across the bay and near Raffles MRT Station. The transportation is very very convenient in Singapore.

Singapore’s Merlion Park is directly opposite the world-famous Sands Hotel. The wavy Sands Hotel Casino and Shopping Mall. The Sands Hotel’s water dance show is held on the opposite platform. As one of the most complicated buildings in history, many of them have been completed. The world’s highest record adds legend. The hotel’s most topical top floor, the huge sky garden is equal to 3 football fields. I hope that I can soak in the highest infinity pool in the world and look out at the Merlion next time! There are 21 museums in the museum. There are so many museums in Singapore.

The coconut shell is the Museum of Art and Science. It can only be said that Singapore is worth seeing only in architecture. Moving towards the Merlion Park, the left-hand building is the Binhai Art Center, and the appearance of aluminum sunshades is like a durian. This art center cost 600 million Singapore dollars to build. The inside concert hall and theater are built on a world-class scale. There is also a coastal performing arts library and outdoor performance venue. I really want to go inside and see it next time!

On the top is the Singapore Flyer, a ferris wheel with a diameter of 150 meters. It takes half an hour to make a lap, and the shopping mall below is 165 meters. It is the largest ferris wheel in the world! Rare, but a viewing cabin can accommodate 28 people. There is a gimmick. In addition, you can take a ferris wheel to enjoy a big meal. The romantic price is $328.9 SGD (surprised).

Entertainment at Merlion Park

The fishwish park covers an area of 0.25 hectares, the area is not large, but as a Singapore landmark, a batch of tourists are still attracted to this visit. Next to the statue of fish tail, build a look at the public and tourists. If you don’t hurry, sit on the table to blow the sea breeze, enjoy the graceful scenery of the Singapore Bay, is really comfortable. If you arrive in the Tail Lion Park, it is already in the evening. It may wish to stay slightly, to be dark, the opposite Bay Bay Golden Salagia gives a beautiful light, overlooking the charming night of Singapore. If you are lucky, you can catch up with the citizens who hold music performances or organize events in the Fishwish Park, and feel the customs of the “Lion City”. I remember that when I took a photo with the fish tail, I took a photo of the fish tail lion spurting the water column, which is said to get strength and wealth.

Things to do near Merlion Park

Merlion is located in the Marina Bay area, surrounded by a wealth of attractions, such as the Marina Bay Sands Resort across the bay from the Merlion, with the Marina Bay Gardens, high-altitude observation deck, Art Science Museum and Marina Bay Sands, Waiting for famous attractions in Singapore.

The Sands Hotel deserved to cost US $ 5.5 billion to build. The vast interior of the building is also impressive. Combining hotels, shopping malls, casinos and theaters, many international brands can buy soft hands and spend a few days eating, drinking and having fun inside. Certainly not boring.

Next to the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, there are also the newly completed Red Dot Design Museum, the Double Helix Bridge, and the Marina Walk.

If you go further, you can reach most of the attractions within 8 stops by subway. Places such as Chinatown, Little India, Orchard Road, Singapore National Museum, etc. that you must visit are all within a four kilometer radius of Merlion Park.

It is understandable of travel restrictions due to the COVID-19. You can still start planning for your future travel plan. Are you intend to visit Australia in the future? Or are you from somewhere in Australia would love to visit Perth? I am sharing one of the best attractions and the beautiful garden that you will love it which is name called Araluen Botanic Garden 🙂

First of all, Araluen Botanic Garden can be a Garden or Park. Some people love to call Park and some call garden. It is not a big different.

Overview of Araluen

Araluen Botanic Garden is located in the Roleystone Western Australia. Araluen Botanic Garden is a unique attraction hidden in the lush valley of the Darling Range. The botanical garden has wild and cultivated beauty, and you can come here for leisure activities throughout the year. Regardless of the season, you can see the babbling stream and green scenery in the Araluen Park. You can have a barbecue picnic here or choose multiple trails to enjoy the fun of hiking.

There are exotic and native species in the paradise-like gardens, all of which are grown and cultivated in the historical park with rich and fertile soil and high rainfall. Magnificent and culturally significant terrace gardens, wood and stone structures, water features and ancient trees shape this park. Tulips and other beautiful flowers are in full bloom during the hot spring season, which is the best place for photography, bird watching and family gatherings.

There is an event in the park sometimes includes summer concerts, children’s activities during school holidays as well as the Art in the Park on the last Sunday of every month. Araluen Garden has a glorious history. Founded by Young Australia League in 1929, it was originally used as a holiday park, and until today it still exudes the charm and atmosphere of the old era.

Facilities in the park include a log cabin tea room and a gift shop. In winter, a warm fire will be lit indoors.

One thing i love about Araluen Botanic Garden is the beautiful lake. While i was walking around the lakeside, i could feel relax with this lovely weather as i love cold weather very much.

According to my personal experience in Araluen Botanic Garden, i have learnt a lot of the different type of flowers, the histories of the exotic garden, the local cultures and so on. The other beautiful things shown me was the small waterfall.

**Hiking up the low hill was very enjoyable and it was very beautiful view from the top**

What’s flowering at Araluen?

Before you decided to plan for a visit, you need to know that Araluen Botanic Garden has different type of flowers on every season. Not every flower you can see on every season. You could even visit Araluen Botanic Garden on every season to encounter and discover these beautiful flowers.

The top rose garden contains the greatest variety. The Rose Garden has examples of Tea roses, many of which flower all year, Gallica roses of French origin, Damasks, Albas and modern shrub roses.

Admission Fee

There is an admission fee for this visit and it is just cost AUD$10 per person only which is worth enough. This Araluen Botanic Garden is bigger than Kings Park Botanic Garden. You could see so much garden and park here than Kings park, especially is the colorful flowers part where amazed me 😂😁😆

Elizabeth Street Pier – Hobart Tasmania

April 29, 2020April 29, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

Welcome to the TravelQueen site! Are you interested in visiting Tasmania? Do you love cold? Tasmania is forever freezing. I love cold weather. Today, I am going to share one of the top attractions in Tasmania. Please feel free to follow me by click a follow button on my side, give a like my Facebook page, follow my instagram as well as on Twitter 🙂

First day arrive scheduled

I have been visiting Tassie on February 2020 and my first day arrival was on Saturday. The first day arrived trip plan was visiting the Salamanca Market. Salamanca Market is running on every Saturday basis. It is one of the top attractions that travellers must visit. Please find more details about Salamanca Market on my blog tab of my website.

After visiting Salamanca Market, I straight away to check in my Quest houses. I was staying at the quest house. It is a very good accommodation and it is very convenient. After that, I visit the Elizabeth Street Pier, Hobart Tasmania and enjoyed my dinner at the same time. It is like 2 minutes walk from the market to the destination which is very close.

***The beautiful city of Hobart Tasmania***

Elizabeth Street Pier is a major street and it is located in Hobart Tasmania. They are very similar with the Fremantle Perth Australia where there is very Western Style shops, fish market, food and beverage stores, harbour front, souvenir shops, Asian restaurant, Elizabeth street mall, cruise tours and many other fun tours.

Showing around the Elizabeth Street

While walking and exploring around the Elizabeth Street Pier, you will see that there is couple of army ferry around the ocean which will surprising you a lot. It is very nice to see them and taking a background snapshot.

While walking all the way to the destination from the Salamanca Market, you will pass-by this road. Beforehand, Tasmania is a very quiet state so you won’t see many car around the roads. Tasmania public transport is not as convenient as Perth so you may want to hire a car or being a patient to wait for the shuttle buses. For me, i love walking so i was walking all the time in Tasmania.

This is a very beautiful of the port of Hobart. It was reminding me of habour front in Fremantle. Do not forget that whichever harbour you are visiting and exploring, the most popular food at harbour front is always seafood such as seaweed, fish and chips, prawn, squid lobster and so on. Never get out of seafood at the Port Harbour.

You will find this info board somewhere around the Main Port. There is lot of things to do around the Port of Hobart at the Elizabeth Street Pier. There is a market on Every Sunday basis. It is quite different with the Salamanca Market which is running on every Saturday. Apart from Market, you could discover the Tasmanian Museum & art gallery to learn the Tasmania state history. According to the map, look at the Elizabeth street, whole street is CBD of Tasmania. I do recommended to walk throughout the street and explore around. There is the Hobart GPO and the Town Hall at Elizabeth Street. I went both of them and they are kind of shopping centre. They have Woolworth, bubble tea shop, number of asian restaurants and others.

When i walked throughout the Elizabeth Street Pier, i have seen this souvenir store and they sell gift that everything about Tasmania such as i love Tasmania T-shirt, Tasmania art work, Tasmania map, a mug etc…i bought the most popular stuff called popcorn.

**I love this nice bridge while i was walking through this bridge to explore the whole Hobart Port. I love it and you will love it too. Good place to snapshot for a beautiful background like me 😂**

I am a ocean lover and i love to walking around the Port Harbour to explore and see what is there and take note if necessary such as if there is any cruise tour and when their operator hours will be so that i could plan next trip. This is how i always did when my holiday is very short. I was just walking up and down the Hobart Port to see what tour they have and plan for my next trip back to Tasmania. Meanwhile, i do enjoyed the cold weather and it is a good exercise to walk as well.

Dinner time at Tassie

**By the way, we called Tasmania as a Tassie. Tassie is a short form of the word. It is much more easier to call Tassie.**

Today, i am going to introduce the best and top Western Restaurant in Hobart Tasmania. The restaurant name is called Fish Frenzy. Fish Frenzy is just located in the Elizabeth Street Pier at the main entrance of the harbour. I went there for my dinner after explored and discovered the Port of Hobart. The Fish Frenzy restaurant had lot of different seafood dishes and burgers. I had the fish and chip for my dinner that day. It was very tasty and crispy so i would recommended to you for a try. It is very costly but it worth to get them once in a while.

***This is one of the popular dishes as well. It is a squids with salad. I love the fried squid so much. It is very crispy and the potion is acceptabl***e.

Most of the people ordered these both dishes in the Fish Frenzy Restaurant. Both are costly but it is good to try out something new at the different places.

This is one of the boat tour at the Elizabeth Street Pier. When i seen this boat, i was quite surprise that there is so many different type of boat that offer to visitor. I am very highly interested to join the tour but unfortunately my vacation in Tassie was too short. When i join this tour in the future, i will update my blog. Stay tune 🙂

If you have any enquiry or concern, please don’t hesitate to contact me or just drop me a comment below. Stay tune on my next blog 🙂

台北象山步道之旅

April 24, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

您是爬山愛好者嗎？你喜歡爬山嗎？台灣是爬山的最佳國家。爬山是生活中非常好的運動。台灣有許多最佳的遠足景點。其中之一被稱為爬山大象山。這是爬山的最佳目的地。爬山時，您可以從頂部看到台北市中心的美麗景色，這很酷的喔。我將與人類分享這個有趣的時刻。希望你會喜歡喔。有興趣的朋友們，請覌看，也可以關注我喔!

歡迎來到台北象山步道

***這是象山的高度😊 位於逸賢亭象山頂、六角亭旁步道盡頭的平台，視野展望極佳，可以欣賞象山的全貌，尤其是象頭與象鼻頗具傳神。**鼻樑處即為永春高中，長長的象鼻子則是稜線深入松山路與松德院區之間的平台。***

今天要和大家介紹台北一個最好的景點名叫象山步道。來到象山，主要是登山啦! 登上象山之後，如果你的體力充沛，或是想伸展筋骨，步道兩旁還有許多強體力及肺活量的體能設施，只見大夥在山頂的逸賢亭打個尖、做個操，還有精力無窮的小朋友穿梭其間，運動休閒一兼二顧，很適合全家來活動。

象山因外形似象頭而得名，位於台北盆地東南方的信義區，與虎山地質相同主要由砂岩組成，因造山作用步道中可見黃褐色陡峭的岩壁與巨石，加上自然環境生物、鳥類種類繁多，使得整座山如同一座天然生態樂園般，成為民眾接近淺山、享受戶外綠林悠閒時光的好去處。

步道沿線設有解說牌引導民眾參訪，區內各種稜線、岩壁、山坡等不同環境，孕育出多種蕨類植物處處可見，其中又以金狗毛蕨與筆筒樹古老蕨類族群最大，數量居臺北市之冠。

登頂象山眺望，臺北盆地的地景幾乎一覽無遺，其尾稜延伸嵌入信義區中強公園，成為當地居民晨昏散步的最佳去處，也是近山民眾假日休閒、舒緩身心的綠色地帶。

基本上，我是從大安捷運站乘坐紅線到象山捷運站。爬山象山是台灣台北市的頂級旅遊景點之一。它的高度大約 183m，遠足徑長約 1.5km。從小徑可以看到台北101是满享受的。六座巨石是湘山的旅遊勝地。有太多人對此景點一無所知，現在我將給我更多的樂趣。台北市的風景真是恐怖而完美。它是免費的，因此不需要任何費用。

象山遠足徑

象山親山步道近松德院區方向有處名為一線天駐腳點，因兩壁山脊線十分接近，巨崖岩壁突出遮天，山友自步道仰頭望天，只見崖壁縫隙間的天空又窄又細，因而稱為一線天。

象山遠足徑是最痛苦的經歷，但是值得擁有這種經歷。乘坐捷運火車去旅遊非常方便。遠足遠足山的最佳時間是三月至十一月。當遇到雨季或地震季節時，出於安全考慮，請不要跳過此景點。尤其是在下雨季節，樓梯上非常容易打滑，因此下雨時走上山坡非常危險。因此，我聽說周末人滿為患，所以您應該避免在周末訪問這個地方。

六巨石

根據上面顯示的這張照片，我是從山石上拍攝的。這是觀看整個台北的最佳地點。平日總是最適合遠足。

我一個人去那裡，從地鐵站步行了10分鐘，從山頂到山頂也花了30分鐘。有些人可能會感到疲勞，需要在徒步旅行中稍作休息，整個體驗可能需要至少1.5個小時，這取決於當天的忙碌程度以及從底部到頂部的遠足速度。當您在排隊等待完美的拍攝圖像時，有時會花費很長時間。儘管夜間是遊覽的理想之地，但由於夜色非常暗且幾乎看不到，因此夜間徒步旅行並不安全。

您可能會問自己加息有多困難？其實不太難的。就像我上面提到的，從山頂到山頂花了30分鐘，在旅途中我確實休息了很長時間。我建議您帶上水瓶，毛巾和相機，當然這是非常基本的。

象山範圍不大，賞景點卻不少。其中盤踞山頭的「六巨石」是象山的地標景觀，巨石林立、景觀奇特，遊象山不攀上巨石瞧瞧，可就對不起自己了。在頂上觀景滋味不同，迎風四望無際，想拍101，來這裡準沒錯！

至於鳥瞰台北盆地的最佳位置，自然是位於稜線上、視野開闊的「超然亭」；有此「超然」名號，便是因為由此觀景居象山眾涼亭之冠。站立於超然亭的平台上，近可見山下的信義計畫區，放遠望去則是圓山、北投焚化爐、觀音山及大屯火山群各景點，從前國慶日施放煙火，不少人還會特地來此觀賞花火綻放，足見其魅力所在。

繞行到巨石公園階梯附近，有一塊碩大的巨石，上面有人為雕刻出來的石階，可拾級而上眺望台北盆地。一路前行間，由左側山腰、山脊再下到右側山腰線，從不同角度俯瞰台北盆地之美，象山迷人之處盡在其中。

步道沿途都設有解說牌，引導親山訪客認識整個山頭的特色，所以這裡也是最受歡迎的自然教室。一路上不愁沒有生態導覽，只要「按圖索驥」，自己就是山林解說員。

象山擁有稜線、岩壁、山坡、山窪、山谷等各種不同微環境，因而孕育出70多種蕨類。蕨類在象山處處可見，有的附著在樹幹上，有的長在岩石、坡地上，有的密佈在潮濕的林下。其中金狗毛蕨族群龐大，數量居臺北市之冠，在過去醫藥不發達的年代，它可是民間用來止血的最佳良藥。

另外在開闊、向陽且潮濕山窪區，還有自侏儸紀時期就存在的古老蕨類「筆筒樹」。筆筒樹群聚可是台北市區最珍貴的生態特色，因為筆筒樹成群林立的現象，全世界只有台灣北部才能看得到。

潮濕的環境中，蝸牛的族群也十分可觀，像是斯文豪氏大蝸牛、煙管蝸牛，幾乎在整個山區都看得到。這本是低海拔的原始闊葉林，生態豐富多元，綠意萬千的山林，還有更多的驚喜等待你自己慢慢去發掘呢！

第一站是大約10分鐘後的觀景台，然後有各種各樣的巨石供人們四處攀爬以拍攝史詩般的照片。最終，在巨石之上1分鐘是主要的觀景台，每天所有專業攝影師在此觀看比賽！

我聽說人們說如果您有時間可以在日落之前遠足，然後看一下變化是一個很棒的選擇，除了您可以兩次遠足，一次是早晨，一次是晚上。

怎麼去象山遠足徑？

當您聽到 “遠足” 的消息時，您會以為它會整天陪伴您。到達那裡，徒步旅行，尋找山頂等，台北象山不是這種情況！如果您住在城市的其他地方，請搭乘捷運地鐵系統並前往象山，這是紅線上的最後一站。走出2號出口，然後遵循您的 Google 地圖。真的很容易找到，所以應該沒有什麼大問題喲。

總而言之，這是一項了不起的活動，甚至為您的一天增加了一點運動。我在台北象山徒步旅行的時光記憶猶新，希望你們也能在那兒度過愉快的時光，即使天氣有點濕熱，您也不會後悔！不用擔心，說實話這也不算困難。即使您身體狀況不佳，也可以抽出寶貴的時間來欣賞這座城市的美景。請享用！＃假期＃冬季

Some of my friends were asking me about their nail and if it is kinda heavy to cuddle them. In my personal experience of cuddling koala, it is not heavy at all, it is just as same as cuddling children. It is not a big different. But, one thing i find about cuddling her was very fun and it is enjoyable until i want to bring her home. Regarding to Koalas nail, yes, it is very sharp and it is kinda painful while cuddling her because of the sharp nail but it is still very cute for me to cuddle.

It will be just cost $30 per person to have a cuddle and a photo taken with the star of the park, the perfect souvenir to remember the perfect day of visit. It is quite costly but it is worth it. It is a very memorable and good experience to be spending for this.

While cuddling Abby, i was feeding her and she was very adorable. When i was feeding her, She seem like very hungry as she was eating very fast. But when i took a selfies with her, the staff took away her food because she kept eating without looking at my cameras.

Ensure to bring your own camera with you to take some snapshot, especially cuddling with koalas.

Most of the people going to the Cohunu Koala Park for cuddling koalas purposes. It is a very memorable moments. You will love it just like I do. Everybody love cuddling koalas 😀

**Do you know who is this? It is humpty dumpty. I was surprising to see humpty dumpty around the park.**

When you are exploring around the Cohunu Koala Park, you will see the Museums and the farm around the park. You could pose with lot of animals in the Park to have some snapshot and memorably time which is pretty cool.

This is how i had a pose for a snapshot with one of the dinosaurs 😂, it was a very beautiful moment and being a copycat. Dinosaurs are around the Museums in the park. Many people love to pose with them because it is very cool

Things to do in the Cohunu Koala Park are pretty much such as exploring the park, hand feed the friendly kangaroos, wallabies, the best cuddle a koala for a souvenir photo as well as to pose for a snapshot with one of the dinosaur replicas. #Dreams #Vacation

Lastly, it is also important to try some seafood in the port area of Cijin since it is known to be very fresh.

Which Month and what season of the year will be the best for visit

There is four seasons in Taiwan. They are Winter, Autumn, Spring and Summer. Taiwan season is totally opposite with Australia seasons. For example, When Australia is on Winter, Taiwan is on the Summer season. Many people are wondering that which season would be the best visit Cijin Island. In my personal experience, the best time to visit Cijin Island would be between September and February of the years. That would be when the summer about to end. It is because Summer is the season of raining which is not able to explore much on the island while raining so it is very best to visit between September and February which was Autumn, Winter and Spring season. I am not recommended to visit between June and August as the weather is too heat with raining. You may wondering that why Winter would be good to visit. Well, Kaohsiung won’t be freezing during the winter. It is totally different with Taipei City.

Please note that during the summer seasons, the ocean wave is pretty strong due to the weather

Introduction of the Cijin Lighthouse

According to the photo taken above, it is taken from the Lighthouse in the Cijin Island. Aside from the scenery, Cijin is also famous for its historical sites, including the Cijin Lighthouse and the Cijin Fort. In 1883, British engineers built the Cijin Lighthouse, which was used for the military during their conflicts with France. The lighthouse went through several reconstructions during the Japanese colonisation, and it is now open to the public. The Cijin Fort is also a historical site in the island that must be on the itinerary. The fort was originally built in 1720 and has witnessed quite a lot during its time. Since it was destroyed in the war, the fort was reconstructed in 1991 and is now one of the most famous attractions in Cijin Island that offers a magnificent 360 view.

The History of Dr. James Laidlaw Maxwell Monument in the Cijin

Basically James Laidlaw Maxwell Senior Chinese name called 馬雅各 and he was born on 18 March 1836 in Scotland. March 1921 was the first Presbyterian Missionary to Formosa (Qing-era Taiwan). He served with the English Presbyterian Mission.

Maxwell studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and completed his degree in year 1858 with a graduation thesis of The Chemistry and Physiology of the Spleen. He worked in London at Brompton Hospital and at the Birmingham General Hospital. He was an elder in the Broad Street Presbyterian Church before being sent to Taiwan by the Presbyterian Church of England (now within the United Reformed Church) in 1864. He donated a small printing press to the church which was later used to print the Taiwan Church News.

On 16 June 1865, at the urging of missionaries H.L. Mackenzie and Carstairs Douglas, he established the first Presbyterian church in Taiwan, this date now celebrated by the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan as its anniversary. First of his mission centred in the then-capital Taiwan Fu (now Tainan city); in 1868 he moved near Cijin and now part of Kaohsiung where his work place, both medical and missionary, became more welcomed. In early 1872 he advised Canadian Presbyterian missionary pioneer George Leslie Mackay to start his work in northern Taiwan, near Tamsui.

He married with Mary Anne Goodall who died on January 1918 of Handsworth on 7 April 1868 in HongKong. They had two sons, John Preston and James Laidlaw Jnr, both of whom later also became medical missionaries. He retired in London in 1885 where he formed and became the first secretary of the Medical Missionary Association. He and his sons oversaw the construction of Sin-Lau Hospital in Tainan, the first western-style hospital in Taiwan. The younger J. L. Maxwell served in the Tainan hospital from 1900 to 1923, during Taiwan’s Japanese Era.

How to travel down to the Cijin Island

How to travel down to the Cijin Island? Well, this would be depending on where will you be coming down from. Firstly, getting to the Cijin Island from Kaohsiung City is very easy. Just take the MRT orange line and get off at Sizihwan MRT Station. From there, just head to the harbour and take Cijin Ferry; instructions from the MRT station to the harbour are available around the streets and it will take about 10 minutes to get there on foot. The cost to the Cijin Ferry is roughly NT$15 (approximately 0.50 USD) and the journey is around 15 minutes.

Hiking Elephants Mountain Taipei

Hiking Elephant Mountain

This is red MRT line

Are you a hiking lover? Do you love hiking? Taiwan is the best country for hiking. Hiking is very good exercise in life. There is lot of best hiking attractions for tourists in Taiwan. One of them is called Hiking Elephants Mountain. It is the best destination for hiking. While hiking, you could see the beautiful viewing of the heart of Taipei from the top which is pretty cool. I am going to share this fun moment with human beings. Hope you will like it just i do.

Basically, I was taking the MRT red line from Da’ an MRT station to the XiangShan MRT Station. Hiking Elephants Mountain is one of the top tourist attractions in Taipei Taiwan. It is 183m high and has a hiking trail about 1.5km long. The taipei 101 can be seen from the trail. The six Giant Rocks are a tourist attraction in XiangShan. There are so many people haven’t know about this attractions and I am going to give more fun of my experience now. It is scary but perfect view of the Taipei City which is great. it is free of charge so there is no fee needed.

Xiangshan Hiking Trail

XiangShan Hiking Trail is the most painful experience but it is worth to go have this kind of experience. It is very convenient to go for a visit by MRT train line. The best time to visit Hiking Trail Mountain is between March and November. When you encounter raining season or earthquake season, please do skip this attraction for safety purposes. Especially is raining season, it is very slip on the stairs so it is very dangerous to walk up the hills when there is raining. Therefore, I had heard that weekends get pretty packed so you should avoid visit this place on the weekends

According to this photo shown above, I have taken from the mountain stones. It is the best place for viewing the whole Taipei. Weekdays always the best for hike.

I went there alone and it took me for 10 minute walk from the MRT station, also 30 minutes from the bottom to the top of the hills. Some people may feel tiring and need a break middle of hiking, the whole experience could take it for minimum 1.5 hours, this will depend on how busy will be on that day and how fast you hiking from the bottom to the top. Sometimes take very long when you are waiting on queue for the perfect photoshoot. Although night time is perfect for visit but it is not safe to hiking at night as it is very dark and hardly to see.

You may ask yourself about how hard is the hike? It is not too hard. Like what I have mentioned above, it take me for 30 minutes from the bottom to the top of the hill and I did have a quick break when I was on my way. I do recommended to bring your water bottle, a towel as well as your camera of course, other than that it’s pretty basic.

The first stop is a viewing platform after about 10 minutes, then there is a selection of boulders that people climb all over for epic pictures. Ultimately, 1 minutes beyond the boulders is the main viewing platform where all the pro-photographers lineup each day!

I heard people said hiking before sunset and watching the change is one awesome option if you have time to spare, other than that you could do the hike twice, once in a morning and once in an evening.

How to get to Elephant Mountain hiking trail?

**This is the destination MRT where to get off at**

When you hear about a ‘hike’ you assume it’ll take you all day. Getting there, hiking, finding the top etc, thats not the case with Elephant Mountain Taipei! If you’re staying elsewhere in the city, jump on the MRT subway system and head to Xiangshan, it is the last stop on the red line. Walk out exit 2, and follow your google map. It’s really easy to find so shouldn’t an issues.

All-in-all it’s an awesome activity, and even adds a little bit of exercise to your day. I have great memories of my time hiking the Elephant Mountain Taipei and I hope you guys ensure you get to experience in your time there too, you won’t regret the effort, even if it is a little hot and humid! And don’t worry, it’s honestly not too difficult. Even if you’re out of shape, you can take your time and still be rewarded with the best views of the city. Enjoy! #Vacation #Winter
