Day 4: 150508 Kaohsiung

Another bright and sunny day!!

We set off for Kenting in an extremely bumpy 2hride from KH railway station..damn tired taking such long bus rides..those famous attractions are far away from the city area..

alighted at Hengchun and went to the bus station..hoping to buy tickets of the shuttle bus which travelled to different attractions of Kenting.. but something disappointing happens.. the shuttle bus onli brings us to Kenting street and Aquarium Museum on weekdays.. as for other attractions like Oluanbi, Maobitou etc..they can only be reached with shuttle bus on weekends.. we went on a weekday.. so this doesnt spell good..an interesting poster seen at the bus station..

nonetheless..we took the shuttle bus to the nationa aquarium museum.. i must say it was an eye-opener.. even better than Ocean Park of HK i tink.. excl those amusement rides.. the fish.. underwater creatures.. and the huge aquarium tank are worth applauding!
we spent quite some time at the aquarium.. apparently that day was an excursion day for many youngsters..probably 国中生, their hairstyle very hip one.. many pretty girls and yandao guys..only later.. we learnt from our tour guide that actuallie the rule to govern over hairstyles are being scrapped off recently..cuz i tink got protest or what haha.. so the student population wins over~

we then made our way to Kenting main street.. there were many interesting shops.. selling seashells..eh beach wear.. cuz thruout Kenting.. sea is beside the street.. so many people go there play seasports.. snorkelling.. banana boat..we didnt go cuz quite troublesome to bring clothes..if wanna play seasports.. should stay a night in Kenting.. that will be more at ease.. along the way also got many go-kart outlets..but all very small.. no kick~haha.. if jus wanna haf a day-tour to Kenting, better to come on weekend..cuz the shuttle bus goes to more places and has a higher frequency..we made our way to Oluanbi by cab..it was said to be the most southern tip of Taiwan.. felt great to be there! the wind was very strong.. we saw the famous Oluanbi Tower..many stall holders selling seashells too..find out more on Kenting with this link
there was a Kissing Rock @ Oluanbi.. just 2 rocks situated adjacent to each other make them look like they are kissing haha...
the above pic shows a rock formation which resembles the side view of a person.. i tink that was taken at Chuanfanshi...

we made our way back to KH railway station and went to Love River.. weather was good.. at night was cooler.. beside the river has many lightups.. like Singapore's Clarke Quay.. we took the boat ride which was worthwhile..quite long ride too.. river was beautiful.. very enjoyable ride to witness the beauty of Kaohsiung at night~then, we went to Liuhe market again to makan.. this time ate 官才板, it was like toasted bread encased with some creamy sauce..quite creative..
that's the end of our journey in Kaohsiung.. moving off to Alishan the next day!more adventures await~
