• We climbed an elephants trunk!

    December 2, 2024 in Taiwan ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We started our sunny Taiwan day with a beautiful morning climb up to Elephant Mountain. It's called this because some of the mountain area looks like a trunk. It was a fun climb because we saw so many view points of the city. 1089 steps to the top so my legs were a bit sore. I ran down with Brother and passed mum and dad. My legs felt like a bowl of jelly. It was a really high climb but nothing compared to being at the top of Taipei 101. At the bottom of the mountain we had some McDonald's. I finally got sweet and sour sauce for my nuggets!
    Visiting Taipei 101 was great in the afternoon. Did you know it used to be one of the tallest buildings in the world, but now I think it's not even in the top 10! It's still really high though. You can't imagine how fast the lift to the top was! I saw lots of buildings in the views and the city was huge!
    We went to another night market and I had some yummy dumplings. I also bought a cute bag and wallet to keep my metro card in.
    I wouldn't mind living in Taipei. I love the cold and hot weather and all the things we have seen so far. The food is also really good.
