旅遊大小事

#2026/04/03 #JiayiPeitianTemple My wife made a wish to Mazu, and recently we went back to fulfill it. I asked for a pink one before, and the temple said it was a girl. The first child was a little boy who didn't make it. Is Mazu hinting at something? Is she saying not to be too sad, you will have another girl. After the first child, I thought about giving up after 4 years, and then Little Amber came to us. Let's take Little Amber to see Mazu. Jiayi Peitian Temple collaborated with Japan's Nebuta Matsuri and made a Mazu float. I haven't even seen the Nebuta Matsuri myself, so I came to Jiayi Peitian Temple to see it. The float was beautifully made! My wife kept saying she wanted to go see the float at Jiayi Peitian Temple, but it kept raining, and the display would be canceled whenever it rained. This holiday, we were lucky enough to have bright sunshine.

#20261004 #Taoyuan_City_Library_Main_Branch #LotusBloomsAgainEncounteringNationalMuseumofHistoryCollections There's a new exhibition, so I thought I'd take Little Amber for a walk and discovered the 'Lotus Blooms Again: Encountering National Museum of History Collections' exhibition. It has paintings to admire and even a touch experience introducing historical sites.

Snoopy and baseball fans shouldn't miss this! Besides Snoopy, there's a lot of baseball knowledge and history. You can also exchange tokens (paid) to play games like 'Who's the Hit King?', baseball nine-grid, and catch throw! (It's kind of like Taroko + Tom's World, but you can't choose the pitch speed, it's all fixed). When you're tired from playing, there are also various dishes to choose from! I live in Taoyuan, so I haven't stayed overnight, but if anyone has, feel free to share your experience!

#2026-04-03 #MarineConservation #DongshiMarineStation My wife said we could borrow hot water from the Coast Guard, and I was worried they'd refuse and tell us to go to the service desk. But the Coast Guard didn't refuse and immediately took us to get water. They even gave us a tour of the station and patiently explained marine conservation. They turned on the air conditioning for us because they were afraid we'd get too hot inside. They told us to rest for as long as we needed and to just close the door when we left, as they had to go on a mission. Last time my car broke down in front of a police station while waiting for a tow, an officer came out and said, "You're obstructing our operations, please don't linger in front of the police station."

There are various animals like goats, pot-bellied pigs, guinea pigs, alpacas, mini horses, fish, rabbits, turtles, meerkats, and capybaras. You can buy feed to give them. There's also a kids' exclusive slide and a super mysterious, psychedelic adventure tunnel. On weekends, there are street performer shows (the last one I saw was a magic show). The scenery is great with a good view during the day, and the twilight and night views have their own unique charm. Book early for New Year's Eve, or it'll be hard to find a seat! Kids can run around and burn off energy, and when they're tired, there's a restaurant to eat at. Right outside the restaurant is the Hou-tan-jing Sky Bridge, so you can visit that too!

#2026/04/03 #AikiVillageTouristFactory You can learn knowledge related to wood, and there are also wooden toys to play with. However, it seemed a bit overworked with many mottled scratches and battle scars, but there were also interactive experience games, and Little Amber had so much fun! Many toys were engraved with 'Aiki Village', so the gift shop should be amazing. I wanted to get a wooden toy for Little Amber, but there was none at the on-site shop. I played along too, so I didn't take many photos.

Admission is 200, with 50 redeemable for consumption (no discount during Lunar New Year). Parking is free, but the road leading here can be narrow, so drive carefully. The park is quite large and features various animals for feeding, including camels, alpacas, meerkats, guinea pigs, rabbits, tortoises, sheep, donkeys, and peacocks! (Meerkats eat mealworms and have a habit of pawing their food to the ground before eating it). Except for the sheep enclosure, there's hardly any animal odor, and the environment is kept very clean!

Birthday celebrants get free golf, archery, and baseball nine-grid games! There are also activities like paintball, horseback riding, and clam digging. The black gnats are terrifying; even with bug spray, they still bite. You can get up close to feed the rabbits, and feed peacocks and geese through a net. The physical exploration area is a great place for kids to burn off energy! There are many levels to experience! The facilities are more suitable for elementary school age and above. The king oyster mushroom, who usually loves to jump, was afraid of the trampoline! Mom had trouble with golf!

#2026-04-04 #TaiwanGrainMuseum Stopped by the Taiwan Grain Museum on the way. You can learn about the process of rice from start to finish. You can also buy rice-related snacks and drinks. But the restroom had a strong odor. Was it especially dirty because I went in the afternoon? Also, many of the animal statues were damaged. The horse died in the line of duty, the cow died in the line of duty. Are the visitors here extremely destructive, or is there simply no maintenance? It was stuffy and hot in the exhibition area. Is it because there are many people, or is the factory area large? It didn't feel very good. Is this what you get for free?
