All about Taiwan! 宜蘭溫泉

I hvnt got the chance to online until today. Last week was busy for chinese medicine test (simple n cincai..haha) then saturday went to YiLan and Sunday went to Jing She & attended a chinese medicine course at hospital.
YiLan is a nice place. Famous for Hot Spring water, traditional cultural centre and night market. Besides that, also got wine factory n museum, lots of local food, new shopping complex, prison and cultural village. Lets share some photos here while i can explain a bit about the places :)
This is called Rou Geng Fan. The pork is made into small pieces, abit like meatballs but is handmade, taste delicious, recommended!

Outside cultural village, tell the history of YiLan, the culture & tradition of the people.

Look at the scooters here! The transparent plastic fixed on it is used to prevent cold air from blowing directly on the face. There is even wiper fixed on it, very cute :p

The road outside railway station. Be careful when crossing.. cars are coming at your left.

Restroom in chinese: make-up room

Dou Fu Fa, in flavours of peanut, yam, barley n red beans, thanks to senior for 'belanja' us.

A nice corner beside the Luo Dong night market, like a cafe/stall/restaurant/bar..whatever u want it to be!

Taiwan railway trains, can be superfast, fast, normal speed or local (pic above), jz like our LRT. The trains depart at the same station.

Many people enjoying hot spring water at the public hot spring garden. This site is strictly for leg only! you can jump into it if u want to :)

Night market at Luo Dong. So many stalls to eat and many things to buy n play.. some stalls hv to queue for very long to buy it.

Once arrived at the Jiao Xi station, can see many banners promoting Hot Spring water.
Seen at the wine factory, "If you never drink YiLan beer, means u hvnt come to YiLan!"

Taken together with my camera placing on a wall. 2 lovely seniors at the left, they are couple :)

In cultural centre, paper folding skills is extraordinary.
Street of the cultural centre, each building has its unique tradition. Spend more time here as the place is so huge, and its getting dark at 5 smth!
The entrance of the public hot spring, NT60 for student, but need to bring own towel. BTW, naked is compulsory in it!!
I'm doing my last week attachment is Tsu Chi, which is internal medicine in cardiology. Quite free here actually, as told by senior, but if want to attend all classed, then it is different story :) Learned about threadmill jz now from Dr Liu, a nice physician whois knowlegable. We will start our 'trip' after Friday. Probably going Alisan, Kao Hsiung and Taipei :)
