A Totally-Me World: Taiwan Day 6

19 April 2008

After breakfast, we headed to Leofoo Village Theme Park. Finally we could play like a kid after 5 days’ sightseeing. =)

entrance of LeoFoo Village Theme Park

Definitely this theme park is not as big as any Disneyland in the world, but the building design in every theme area is very attractive and unique. Leofoo Village consists of 4 theme areas which are Wild West, South Pacific, Africa Safari, and Arabian kingdom.

First of all, we decided to stroll around the Africa Safari after considered of my mum and other aunties’ health condition. =P

Let’s say Hello to Macaw! He must be in bad mood that time. He ignored my greeting to him. This animal isn’t cute at all. -_-‘’’

Arrogant white tiger.

OSK and I played like kids in the theme park.

Next we took monkey-bicycle to round the monkey trail. Look, my mum was very frightened that time until forgot to look at the camera. Honestly when the monkey-bicycle moved out of the departure line, a chill ran down my spine. :”> I was just like cycling in the air. Scary experience.

Monkey Trail....

We also took steam train, Nairobi Express, to observe the living habit of herbivore.

We visited Arabian Kingdom. It’s such an incredible royal palace building.

We took a ride in wooden flying horse to enjoy the magnificent royal palace scenery.

South Pacific. We didn’t play much on heart-attacking games.

Not challenging at all.. =P

We had our lunch in one of Chinese restaurant inside the theme park.

Finally we are in Taipei 101 Tower! The World's tallest completed skyscraper! The building designed by C.Y.Lee and Partners.

Ground to highest architectural structure: 509.2 metres (1,670.60 ft)

Ground to roof: 449.2 m (1,473.75 ft).

Ground to highest occupied floor: 439.2 m (1,440.94 ft).

Fastest ascending elevator speed: 16.83 m/s (55.22 ft/s)

662 Metric ton steel pendulum serves as a tuned mass damper

The impressive scenery which can make you ‘wow!’. Taken when I was in the 89 floor of indoor observatory station.

There’s a mailing service in the 89 floor of 101 Tower. I sent out 2 postcards to myself and Kelvin respectively. At first I plan to send some postcards to my friends but I could not remember their mailing address at all. Sorry to my friends. Anyway I will note down your all’s addresses in my diary next time.

This is the second place I found my lovely magnets. It's damn hard to find a magnet in Taiwan.

Very luckily, that time 91 floor of outdoor observatory station was opened to public. I really can feel the power of wind. It is so strong like hurricane. Seems like can blow me away. Anyway I still able to take a picture in a very tidy and beautiful pose. =P

Elephant recommended us a famous biscuit shop named Vigor Bakery House. I bought a box of green bean cake because it's really delicious. =)

Next we headed to Shilin night market for food and good grabbing. hehe... There is various of foods are waiting for me. So tempting. Mum and I ordered a plate of Fried Oyster,大腸包小腸 and 愛玉冰. After that we walked around Shilin and shopped crazily because tomorrow we will heading back to Malaysia.
