[Travel] Toucheng Leisure Farm + Checking in to Ambience Hotel + Ximending, Taiwan Trip Day 2 of 5


Rise and shine! We woke up around 7am to explore around the place before heading over to the cafeteria for breakfast. 


The view right outside our accommodation is so peaceful and relaxing to be surrounded by nature. Even the air feels so much fresher here. 


There was a wide selection of food for breakfast. The porridge with minced meat is my favourite, I had at least 3 bowls! 


After breakfast, we set out on a guided farm tour, where we spotted a variety of fascinating insects and animals. The tour offered a glimpse into farm life and a chance to get up close with the animals. The weather was perfect too. 


After the farm tour, it was time to eat again. It was something light before the actual lunch buffet. My girl didn't want to eat so I bought some fish food for her to feed the fishes in the pond. 


Lunch buffet! Another scrumptious meal! 


After lunch, the staff kindly helped us arrange a driver who's also leaving Yilan to drive us to the Guishan Station which was rather isolated. Taking this small train to the main MRT station to go to Taipei. It was a pretty scary experience because there was no other passengers at the station beside my girl and I. 


Reached the main MRT Line Songshan (Green Line). Our destination is to Songjiang Nanjing which is 4 stops away. 


Finally, we reached our hotel - Ambience Hotel, a 3-star hotel but with everything I needed. This was the door gift we received upon checking in. 


The room was clean, modern, spacious and comfortable with a bath tub. Except for the small TV, it was a very nice stay. 


First floor lobby. 


After we left our belongings at the hotel, we head out again. The bus stop was super near so we took a bus out to Ximending. 


Welcome to Ximending! 


We had our dinner at Modern Toilet Restaurant. The whole restaurant located on the 2nd floor is like a big toilet, with toilet seats and tables with toilet bowls with fake poo inside. An interesting experience for my girl as it was her first time here. 


After dinner, it's shopping time at this vibrant place. We also explored The Red House which sells a lot of cute trinkets! We ended up buying some cute things here.   


We took bus back to our hotel again and this was our bath bomb for the first night. 


TV time. Watching some Xiao Wan Zi cartoon on the TV. 



XOXO
