烏山頭水庫 WuShanTou Reservoir

We arrived WuShanTou Reservoir from Siao Ruishi 小瑞士 pretty late in the afternoon. After contemplating if you should camp at 烏山頭水庫風景區 Wusantou Reservoir Camp we decided to drive around the reservoir using the plantation roads till we find a nice spot to spend a night.
關子嶺紅葉溫泉山莊 GuanZiLing Honye Hot Spring Villa
15 Mar 2009
N23 19.941 E120 30.213
GuanZiLing is another hot spring area in Taiwan, it is also one of the few places in Taiwan with mud hot spring. We decided to drop by this area to get a hot shower and wash our clothes as we had been camping in our van for few days. As it was a weekday, there was hardly any crowd and we decided bargain for the prices. We managed to get NT500 for both us otherwise we would have to pay NT700.
Caoshan Moon World 草山月世界
16 Mar 2010
N22 59.087 E120 26.452
Following my GPS to the nearest place of interest, we ended up this area coming down from 308 high land (三0八高地). The downhill from 三0八高地 to Caoshan Moon World was rather steep and mostly off-road. After driving around the area we found that the whole place had been under tourist. Most of the tourist site were not taken care and most of the area are slowly turning into a farm land. This area is definitely not worth the visit.
安平黑豆花 Anping Black Soybean Curd
N22 59.981 E120 09.187
I love soybean curd, first time I tried Taiwan's cold soybean curd was a bike ride with the club from Kaohsiung to Tainan. Ever since we pass by the area we would stop by for a cold soybean curd treat. I must say it is one of the best soybean curd we had. There are 2 shops located side by side. One selling the white version soybean curd while the other the black soybean curd. We prefer the black version which was smoother and tastier.
Fort Zeelandia 安平熱蘭遮城

Fort Zeelandia was build over the span of ten year from 1624 - 1634. Dutch last strong hold after 38 year of occupation on the island was later defeated by the Chinese Ming Dynasty General Zheng Cheng Gong after 9months of siege. The Dutch surrendered the fortress and left the island in 1662 after a signed agreement Treaty. The defeat was partly blame for failed reinforcement from the Java.
