Taiwan - Jenn Lann Temple (镇澜宫) & DaJia Old Street (大甲老街)

Click Here for full itinerary.

After staying a night at FengJia (逢甲), we moved north back to Taipei (台北) by train. We stopped by at DaJia (大甲) before reaching TaiPei to hunt for some food and loiter around.

Information board showing direction to Jenn Lann Temple (镇澜宫) at the exit of DaJia railway station. This temple considered is the biggest attraction of this small town with only around 5minutes walk from the railway station.

Jenn Lann Temple (镇澜宫) was built over 200 years ago which attracts thousands of worshippers to come to pay respect to Mazu (妈祖), known as the chief of all goddess. This is the most famous Mazu temples in Taiwan, because of its age and also its beautiful cravings around the temple.

Jenn Lann Temple (镇澜宫) during day time. The temple is located on DaJia Old Street (大甲老街).

This old truck is a joss paper (金银纸) selling truck! So cute lol.

Lantern decorations outside Jenn Lann Temple.

We walked around DaJia Old Street (大甲老街) which located on ShunTian Road (顺天路).

Spotted some huge traditional pancakes!

Had some flour-rice noodles with baby oyster and squid soup. The noodles are similar with the one we had at AY-Chung Flour-rice noodles (阿宗面线) at XiMenDing (西门町), only that this one is with baby oyster and XiMenDing’s one the soup is much nicer :P

The squid soup is simple, only with some squids, vege and ginger slices but it tastes good!

Had some street food too. This is just like our keropok lekor, with milder taste. Locals named it 甜不辣.

After frying and coated with some chili powder.

Spotted mascot of ChungHwa Telecom along DaJia Old Street :) We were using a 10-day tourist package (calling and internet plan) from ChungHwa Telecom during our trip at Taiwan. The coverage is good! We can even access to internet during our stay in a tea farm at ShiZuo (石卓).

Some kids with their school uniforms and bags. One whole set, so cute!

Start raining at night and temperature dropped drastically again @.@



TaiPei, we are coming back to you!

Ciao~
