Taiwan Visit 7

The seventh day (Sep 21) report has come!

=========================

Anping District Visit

We left our hotel at 9am. It took about 20 minutes by car. We observed some buildings built by the Dutch in the 15th century. Students found that Tainan City played a critical role in Taiwanese history.

Chiayi City

Next, we head to Chiayi city. It was about an hour drive this time. We enjoyed Cantonese cuisine first at a restaurant. This city has a long history with Japan. Forestry used to be one of the main industries of this city, so we visited the Taiwan Red Cypress Museum and a ruin of a station. This area was strongly related to the movie, "Kano" so I was sorry that we couldn't watch the movie yesterday.

Thanks to the driver, we went to Tropic of Cancer there. Today is de facto the last day, so students seemed to want to stay more.

Taoyuan City

From Chiayi, we took the super express train to Taoyuan City, which is located in the northern area of Taiwan. It was just 70 minutes ride. It was so fast. We stayed at a hotel near the airport. We drop in at a shopping center just before we arrived at the hotel. It was the last shopping.

We ate the last dinner at the hotel. Today boys were very hungry again!

In this study tour, students were all well. I was so glad that we would end this tour successfully.
