This year the university organizes a trip to Tainan for both the overseas as well as international students. There are four buses since the number of students had increased a lot from last year. We started our journey from our university to Tainan at 8:15 a.m. Our first destination is Eternal Golden Castle. While on our way to the Eternal Golden Castle we passed through Tainan's city hall. We have a guide telling us the history and all in English since there are many students who don't understand Chinese. At around 11 a.m. we went to a restaurant in Tainan to have our lunch.
At lunch time, we talk to students from different countries and then at 12:10, we started off to our second destination, Anping Fort and then at around 2 o'clock, we headed to our third destination to see the black-faced spoonbill. Frankly speaking, I didn't see any birds there since it's quite far from where we stopped and then I don't have a binocular with me and people with binocular said they can't see the bird properly because it's really too far. We left for our last destination that is the Chiku salt mountain. I climbed one of the salt mountains and it was really not easy to climb because the wind was blowing heavily and I feel like I would be blown away any time. I even had a taste of the salty grapes popsicles. It taste good but it was melting very fast because of the heavy blowing wind. Jenny Wang, a woman in charge of the overseas and international students gave me an egg that is cooked by putting into a wok full of warm salt. It tasted good and then after that we headed back to Douliu to our university, we even have dinner ready for us to take back to our dorm because by the time we reached our university its already 6:30.
I enjoyed my visit to Tainan and am really dead tired now and so I need to hit the bed soon. Hope to visit more of other places in Tainan!
