Day 3 - Formosan Aboriginals Culture Village & Bubbles!

We are going to theme park! The mini theme park which is located in Formosan Aboriginals Culture Village.
Spot our excited face?

It is located in Yu Chi, Nantou County nearby Sun Moon Lake.

We board the shuttle bus (which by the way is FREE and it goes round the island) to the cable car place

It felt a little like Genting Highlands. I love cable car rides!

And we got to see the most breathtaking scene of Sun Moon Lake. So pretty...

It is quite an interesting trip to the village. Loads of cam-whoring opportunities.
Love this long flowy top of mine. Got it at NT179 (RM18) at Feng Jia night market.

Apparently, it is a no entry zone but it looks sooooo pretty!

We cannot resist fooling around the payphones.
Remember how I said Taiwanese believes in owls?
We saw a lot of owl figurines here. And we eventually became one too!

Lavender and loads of them. It is a lavender garden.

See what I told you about cam-whoring opportunities and silly poses? There you go. 

this picture. They just look happy together. =)

We stopped by at various stops for food. This is the famous Bunun BBQ. You can smell it from a distance. Sorry, there is no picture of the bbq meat because we were so hungry and busy eating it all.

This was our next stop.
 They are famous for their bamboo rice.

We were hungry and greedy people, I tell you. This trip is all about FOOD.

Argh! Looking at it makes me feel hungry!

Here is how the bamboo rice is cooked.

Owl again!

This is sort of like a yam cake.

Soup which I think is a little too oily.

Bamboo rice! Which will rock your heaven on your first bite!

Boiled herbal egg which I think wasn't that good.

Food = Happy People

You must have been wondering where on earth is the theme park.
Here you go! It is really small and in fact, we only went for 2 rides. One was the motion master thing and the other one was at the Maya Adventure where it is one of the best roller coaster ride I had in my life.
It was so small that we spent our time playing bubbles!
Pretty isn't it?

It is so hard to get a good picture while you're blowing the bubbles.
 I don't understand why or how PrincessX always gets the good shot! 
And this is one nice accidental shot which I love! =D
Besides cultural village and theme park, this place is also known for the 公主小妹 (Romantic Princess) tv series setting starring Wu-Zhun.
It is set to look like an European garden
I love it here. I love the tv series and at that time, I did not know it was the setting. I just thought it looks familiar and only found out about it when I got back.
 LuLu was trying to add some special bubble effects! Haha!

Another shot that I personally love.
Us, the SATC rocking Taiwan. =)

And I shall end this long winding picture entry with colourful post box!
