This is the first day of our "staying-out" field trip. We head to Gold ecological park, Jiufen, and stayed in a B&B at Shifen. Jiufen and Shifen were my favorite.
We were able to visit the gold mining spot, which is the only one left in Taiwan. Before getting into the tunnel, we were all given a blue "hat", which I thought was the "helmet" and thought maybe it would only act like one to give us an experience of what it might be. However, after we enter an introduction area, we were given the "real" helmet.
This tunnel owns a Japanese name.
When we were about to get into the tunnel.
It's worth noted that a taboo of this tunnel was "no women are allowed in the tunnel", hmmmm........so we should be in there?!
A demonstrate of how gold mining would be in the tunnel.
Later on, we moved to Jiufen to get our lunch!!! Since last semester we did a project on introducing Jiufen, I so wanted to taste the taro balls again, especially the "阿甘姨's". But before the sweetness filled our stomach, Rebecca and I were looking forward to filling something that feels like a meal first, so we got this deeeeeelicious fish balls with tofu (豆腐包). We also had the peanut sugar with ice-cream (磨花生糖＋冰淇淋卷), which made my day:))
After this tired day of walking, it was good to be at our cozy traditional B&B. I have to say that the place was beautiful and the owners were so hospitable.
We were able to draw and write on our own lantern. So Jenny and I wrote blessings like: stay healthy, happy life, wish upon the star, and dream come true on it. And on the other side we wrote our Chinese name. Since Jack told us not to write our name or any contact on it, so I made my name looked like a graph.
Let us "which upon the sky"~
