Tainan and Taibei are the two most representative places in the north and south of Taiwan Province Province. One is a once glorious ancient city, and the other is a fashionable city. Many vivid characters in novels written by Taiwan Province writers mostly live in these two cities.
Taipei
Three Gorges hot spring in suburb
Is there a telephone in Taipei? Three Gorges? Where is it? I'm curious to hear this name. Three Gorges, formerly known as? Triangle surge? It is named because it is located at the intersection of Dahanxi, Three Gorges and Hengxi, and the terrain is triangular. Clock? For Minnan? Wave? Meaning. During the Japanese occupation, because? Triangle surge? Sounds like it? Three Gorges? And changed his name. It's about half an hour's drive from downtown Taipei, and it's one of the must-see places for Taipei people in Zhou Bianyou on weekends.
The first choice for outings in Taipei
The Three Gorges Old Street, full of ancient flavor, is the most tasteful ancient town in northern Taiwan Province Province, and is as popular with tourists as Tanshui. The Three Gorges is one of the earliest settlements (villages) in northern Taiwan Province Province, and its development track is similar to that of fresh water. In the early years, due to the rise of water transportation and the development of tea, camphor and indigo industries, a prosperous settlement street was gradually formed. With the temporary scenery of the Three Gorges and the gradual decline of the advantages of water transport, the bustling market has become a historical building that bears witness to the past.
The Three Gorges Old Street refers to the 248-meter-long Quan Min Street. There are 100 brick street houses and shops on both sides of the street. Most streets in Taiwan Province Province have temples before streets. Xinglong Palace in Quan Min Old Street is older than the old street. The whole hall was carved instead of painted. The carving theme of each stone pillar is taken from China's historical romance or myths and legends, and every corner is carefully carved.
The traditional Minnan-style building in the Three Gorges Old Street is made of red bricks, which combines various architectural styles, including traditional pavilion feet, breast walls, and complex and exquisite baroque pattern carvings, making the building present a gorgeous classical feature like a work of art. The lettering in the old street house represents the surname, name, industry or shop number. In the industry, there are? Dyeing? Dyeing house has the most words; Most of the plaque boxes of merchants are engraved with the hall number, store number or surname, which is a common propaganda method used by merchants in the past. The graphic decoration on the gable has implications, such as a vase symbolizing peace.
The reconstructed old street reappears its former elegant demeanour, and has also become a nostalgic tourist attraction for tourists to visit the old times. The long arcade of the Three Gorges Old Street is still amazing the exquisiteness and beauty of the old buildings, but the modern old street merchants are very different from the past industries. Handicrafts, specialties, restaurants and snack bars have replaced the early dyehouses, tea shops and wood shops, and folk artists who perform arts on the streets are mixed among tourists who travel through the streets.
Soak the honey soup in the tropical rain forest
When you arrive at the Three Gorges, you must go to Dabangen Forest and enjoy the natural hot springs of sodium bicarbonate in the rainforest. You can choose to stay in an elegant resort and watch the stars and fireflies at night, or return to Taipei on the same day after playing all day. Dabangen Forest is the only remaining low-altitude virgin rainforest in Taiwan Province Province, covering an area of 20 hectares.
Dabangen Forest Hot Spring was the largest and earliest tea-making factory in Taiwan Province Province during the Japanese occupation, with a history of nearly a hundred years. The name Dabangen comes from Bangen, a tropical rainforest plant unique to Dabangen Forest Hot Spring Resort, which is characterized by a triangular flat plate perpendicular to the ground at the bottom of the trunk.
In this rainforest, everyone can really have a science lesson. The plants here are said to have been brought back by Genghis Khan during his Western Expedition. Alexander coconut tree? In Japan, only the royal family can plant immortal branches? Red light to light ratio? Can you prevent forest fires and protect yourself by peeling? Melaleuca? Close the leaves at night like a mimosa? Acacia lobular? , divided into women and men? Eggplant tree? Do you sweat a lot? Drip tree? The trunk stretches like a python until there is no end? Driss? A giant bird's nest in the air? Susan? The pen tree that existed in the dinosaur era
Besides enjoying the forest bath, you should not miss the colorless and odorless sodium bicarbonate salt spring here. What is the most famous in the resort? Prince Tang? Named after the place where the Japanese royal family once lived.
Eat all the way, and your heart will blossom.
One day's plan lies in the morning, and we should get up early and have a big breakfast like Tainan people. Breakfast in Tainan is mainly concentrated in minzu road and Guohua Street? Snack Golden Triangle? , here? Country beef soup? Our signature beef soup, cold beef offal, minced meat rice, etc. Or go to Ximen Road and Fu Qian Road to taste salty porridge and mutton, and then buy a cup of herbal tea nearby to reduce the fire.
You must eat milk fish porridge or fish balls for lunch. You can taste Danzai noodles in Zhongzheng Road, Ximen Road or minzu road. The local eel noodles are the most famous in Fu Qian Road, Ximen Road and Youai Street. It uses a quick and hot frying method to make eels smooth and noodles delicious.
The night market frequented by local people is located near Baoan Road. Here, the food signs along the way are dazzling. You must try it, stop, leave some room for your stomach and eat it all the way. A Min pork heart winter powder and Afeng floating fish soup, together with muxi rice cake, are a perfect match. If you are not satisfied, you can add cooked meat with Aaron sausage. A Min pig hearts have to wait in line for at least 20 minutes before they can be eaten. Before that, you can eat the next hairy bear shrimp meatballs to pad your stomach, and then eat something else according to your satiety.
You can also try some classic ice products, such as red bean ice milk. A Qing almond tea located at the end of the road is famous for mung beans and almond tea, among which mung beans sold in summer are the famous products of Hengchun.
New food first creates an atmosphere.
The food in Tainan is also undergoing modern changes. The most representative is Zhou's shrimp roll, which is now sought after by many entertainment stars. Zhou's fresh shrimp roll shop (No.408-1Anping Road) operates in a fast food restaurant mode, and the ordering speed is quite fast, which takes at most ten minutes. Shrimp rolls are golden in appearance, the shrimps are crisp, and the special dipping sauce tastes good, which makes people memorable when bitten. There are also snacks such as floating fish soup, noodles and shrimp balls. Locals also like nearby Chen (No.786 Anping Road, Tainan City) and Dongxing (Castle Street 1 Anping District). Huangjia Shrimp Roll (formerly known as Yamuliao Shrimp Roll, located at No.268 Xihe Road) is the most authentic and delicious shrimp roll in the eyes of local people.
Not far from Anping Castle? A billion-year-old Jincheng? It is the first western-style battery in Taiwan Province Province. Opposite the battery is a company called. Pentagon ceiling? A restaurant with a unique style. Boss Xie has been racking his brains for several days to give this restaurant a good name. During the hard naming period, she wandered around the seaside and accidentally saw a wooden boat board washed ashore by the sea, which was inlaid with 50 cents old Taiwan dollars. She had a brainwave? Pentagonal rowing restaurant? So the name was born. The appearance of the restaurant is irregular, which is far from the general building. Coupled with post-modern collage techniques, clay sculptures and pottery sculptures are added to some wastes, such as driftwood, dead branches, stones, bricks, etc., and the design is unique. Stepping into the dining room, the original trees in the atrium, the colonnade made of oyster shells and the tables and chairs made of drifting wood have formed a style full of natural interest. The menu is mainly western food. With driftwood as the theme, bright big windows, high ceilings, spacious wooden dining tables, flowing music and young waiters dressed as farmers, the atmosphere here has realized a new Tainan-style restaurant form.
Tainan
Food is eaten from morning till night.
When I went to Tainan, I felt a sense of intimacy, especially in the old city, where restaurants were everywhere, much like the traditional blocks in Guangzhou. As the earliest developed area in the history of Taiwan Province Province, Tainan has not only left many historic sites that occupy an important position in Taiwan's history and culture, but also a variety of mouth-watering snacks, which many northerners made a special trip south to taste. In addition to visiting the historical track and trying the famous Tainan snacks, I'm glad you came. Tainan cuisine is mainly concentrated around Chikan Building, Yanping Old Street, Anping Business Circle, Zhongzheng Business Circle and Confucius Temple Cultural Business Circle.
