Finally dad had a Sunday off (Oct 12). Although we wanted dad to have a good rest at home, it was very tempting to ask dad to take us out. After dad woke up, Changton, who was already dressed in his weekend outing cloth, showed daddy the car key and said Chi-Chi, Pai-Pai and Go-Go, his first tri-lingual word.
How could dad let the boy down! Dad happily took us up to Yang Ming Shan, the mountain right behind our house, for a fresh air. We also wanted to show Yai Jee a natural scenery. So far we only showed her a Taipei city life! Well, some people call Yang Ming Shan National Park, an urban forest. Sounds good to city people like us...ha ha.
"What dad? Back seat? I want to drive. I got the car key!!"
Yangmingshan is situated in the north of Taipei. It's known of its volcanic activity over 750,000 years. We didn't go to the top of Yang Ming mountain to visit its famous park. This time we only visited one of its several geothermal areas around Yang Ming Shan National Park (see the bottom ground below Yai Jee).
Before going down to visit the geothermal area, we took a picture together. The wind was pretty strong so our eyes were barely opened.
We reached the bottom ground. Here Yai Jee posed with an information board. This area was affected by the volcano eruption. We saw many burnt rocks in the area.
We saw many pipe lines connected the hotspring from this geothermal resource to many hot spring bathing places.
Changton enjoyed the scenery in daddy's arms.
This place is also a popular spot for wedding photo shooting!!!
After the visit, we went to our favorite (or mom's) Chili's for lunch. Then we went to Auntie Aiwen's place to collect some of Austin's toys and things that auntie kindly gave to Changton.
