Puli: 埔里

 Headed over to Puli, which is another part of Nantou.
The bus ticket is also included in the Sun Moon Lake pass package that i bought. 

 Went to drop off my baggage in the hostel that i booked.
It is located next to the puli puli wine brewery. 

Puli Center Center Hostel

No.6, Zhongzheng 4th Road, Puli Township, Nantou, Taiwan 54555

It cost: $52.20 (2 nights)
4 bed female dorm. 

It is a relatively new hostel that only opened in February this year.
Really like how friendly the boss of this place is and how cozy it is decorated.
It is simple yet a good stay (:

 Made my way to Puli main station to meet the driver that is bringing me to 虎嘯山莊.

Decided last night that maybe i should do Paragliding and contacted the person in charge.
I checked the weather forecast and it will be a good weather, so yeahhhh! Off i go!
I did it with Puli 2fly.

It cost: NT$2500, rental of video cam: NT$500.

I wanted found another company that is also doing para gliding also.
It is slightly more expensive, but they edit your video for you which i was pretty keen.

However, they require a 7 days advance booking. 

 Was greeted with this amazing view when i alighted from the van!

 Getting ready for my turn to fly! I am pretty nervous actually, since this is my first time! 

 The guide that is with me throughout, kudos to him and i really can see how hard it is for his job.
He constantly reassure me during the time when we are in the sky and that makes me feel safe! :D

 Taking off, but i had not much strength to really run tho! Need the help of others to do so!

 That's me in the sky, and now looking at these photos and videos make me wonder, 

where do i get all the courage to do something like that.
The view is gorgeous i must say, and its definitely worth doing it... at least once in a lifetime. 

After taking off, they will look for places that has pressure that will bring you to greater heights. 

They will also be doing several stunts like turning around and all in the sky!
Was dam cray i must say. He just told me, we are going to make a turn okay?

So i just thought it was a normal turn, and whooosh, i went dropping down and started screaming!
Hahaha!

 This was when we landed! 

 Thankfully i had her with me since the rest were all in pairs.
Time to take photos of the beautiful place(: 

 Talk about coincidence, we also happen to book the same hostel.

 Paid a visit to the wine brewery which is next to my hostel.
By the time i reached, the exhibition area is no longer open. 

But level 1 where food stuffs made up of wine is still open, so i went to take a look.

 Bought myself this red bean and wine ice-cream, eggs and some candies.
Then, time for more food hunts that is recommended by the hostel boss. 

So great that i have a eating buddy with me that night, so we can share! 

First stop was at this- Su MaMa Tang Yuan 
No.118, Section3, Zhongshan Road, Puli Town, Nantou,Taiwan

 Then to have xiao long baos.
This was pretty disappointing cause we were expecting ding tai feng kind of xlb.
We were so full eating this and couldn't finish this at all!

 Caught a really pretty sunset while roaming around Puli to look for more food.
Wanted to eat the oyster omelette that is recommended also, but it was close that day.
Stumble upon Nanchang Street- 南昌街, and it was really crowded with food stall around. 

Last stop was this kinda like Zhe Char stall- 雨傘店/阿川麵店It was good and super cheap!
All these only cost us NT $200 and i was telling my friend that price can only get me:
an oyster omelette at a Zhe Char stall over in Singapore!
