Finally back to completing the last installment of our trip to Taiwan.
On the last leg of the trip, we did Tainan and Kaoshiung before heading back to Taipei for the flight back to Singapore.
After a few days at the countryside, we felt back at home after reaching KaoHsiung, another major city in Taiwan. Being a city, here comes shopping, in a mall!
Mr Lai brought us to this very new mall, Taroko Park and my city kids were thrilled to find amusement park and indoor playground, lots of it, over here. The weather was somewhat hot for outdoor play, so we just took the carousel ride and head straight for the indoor one. There were several other rides though as seen on the map.

Suzuki Circuit Park at Taroko Mall
The best part was that this place was so new, there wasn’t a crowd, yet. So the girls had lots of chance to explore every section. They were exhausted and famished and all sweaty at the end of it but they couldn’t be happier.

Big farm at Tsou Ma Lai

Chimei Museum near Tainan
The museum compound was huge! We didn’t manage to view the exhibits as kids might not be keen and it was too big for our group to walk. So we just took photos at the exterior and they looked so grand. Mission accomplished.

Apparently the fire has been burning for 300 years to date
Eight Trigram Buddha Landscape (Chang Hua)

Big Buddha Temple in Tainan

Chung She Flower Farm. We love flowers!
As it got darker the temperature started to drop and we set off to return to Taoyuan to stay overnight for the flight back the next day.
It was quite a long ride so most of us were just napping on the car
I think there must be lots more parts of Taiwan we have yet to cover but should be good enough for now. Hopefully we will head for a new trace destination for the next trip!
