Taiwan 2014 Part 2 - Tian Wai Tian Hotpot | Yehliu Geopark | SYS Memorial | Taipei 101

Tian Wai Tian Hotpot Directions: Go to Ximending by taking the metro to Ximen Station. Use Exit 6 and follow this walking directions from Google Maps . What's special here: Bang-for-the-buck steamboat buffet that includes unlimited serving of Haagen Dazs ice cream and drinks (including beer!). The price varies depending on the the time of your visit. (Adults: from TWD 439 to TWD 519; Children: TWD 219) Yehliu Geopark Directions: From Taipei Main Station, find the Taipei West Bus Terminal Station A . It was hard to find the terminal if it's your first time so what we did is ask a station personnel. Once in the bus terminal, board bus 1815.

Japan 2015 Part 3: Hiroshima & Himeji

Where to Stay Since we are exploring Himeji right after Hiroshima, we decided it would be best to stay the night in Hiroshima. There are good hotels near Hiroshima Station but we wanted to try a traditional Japanese inn. For one night, we stayed at Ryokan Tanada. It's a bit of a walk from the Station but still manageable. It's a bit pricey compared to your usual hotels but still quite cheap compared to othe Ryokans. To book a room, click  here . Hiroshima Miyajima How to get there: From Hiroshima Station, take the train to Miyajimaguchi Station. From there, it is a short walk to the ferry station. Mount Misen via Miyajima Ropeway How to get there: The lower station of the Miyajima Ropeway is about 10 minutes walk from Itsukushima Shrine. A-Dome &  Peace Park How to get there: There are several options. If you are using a JR Pass, go back to Miyajimaguchi Station and then take the train back to Nishi-Hiroshima Station and then trans...
