Taiwan: Jingtong Station

Back to my Taiwan post - JingTong Station

We tried another version of 'bian dang' from a new station. Should be the main station if I didnt remember wrongly. Perfect for the budget trip hehe.

Jingtonng station is located right at the end of the map. Which is honestly a pain to get there, but deffo too expensive to cab there! Maybe because we're just unlucky that we never ever gotten a seat on the train.

The whole place is pretty much filled with stores selling bamboos.
Tourist go all the way there to write their wishes on it.

I'm assuming they prolly clear them our on a yearly basis??

we've also purchased and sent out a wooden post card to Cheemun in Singapore.

Selecting our bamboo to share, about a dollar each.

iphone is incredible aint it, translating my wishes to chinese before i write them down in case the Gods in Taiwan cant understand them!

Then to what we pretty much came here for:

KongMing Ding

once again sharing 4 ways hehe

Sara was very serious with writing her wishes!
Took a really long time as well.

and now we know why...

The heat was killing us and very considerate FY went off to get some ice shavings to feed us.

So this is like the very end of the train track (last station on the map remember?)

We had to hold on to all 4 corners while the lady lit up the kongmingdeng from underneath.

towards the part where it's almost fully inflated, the lantern was seriously too hot to hold on to.

Up we go! I feel so sorry for Fangyi as we captured his 'Awesome love life and SEX!' on camera and it's shared on facebook with all our other photos from the trip.
