After a refreshing soak in the soup, wj and i went to visit the city library and what a terrific cozy building it was! made from wooden structure and shaped like a ship, nestled in lush greenery with a small lotus pad pond, it was tranquil and scenic, the perfect spot for some light reading. the feeling was really great, inside, they had this little niches amongst books, the shelves were low and didnt give readers a overbearing or towering feeling like most libraries.
Outside, there was a timber deck with nice wooden benches for visitors..facing the lush greenery...oh how perfect! Really really love this place!!!

above: wj asking directions to the Fisherman's wharf...in the end we took a cab. we certainly were lost.
yippee we are there and ahead of us is the famous Lover's Bridge!
dinner: back at Ximending, our hotel area and having a good hot bowl of duck noodles! *slurps*
and since it's our last nite already! yes people! how time f-l-i-e-s!!!! wj is having his last bowl of small intestine vermicelli. while i trying to pick out some earrings for biaojie but in the end gave up! and bought her something else....
Fabulous snapshots and memories of your Taipei tour, Velle!
ReplyDeleteThe City Library is simply stunning. I gotta bring my wife there in my next Taiwan visit.
Thanks for sharing.
