B and I decided to rent a tandem bike, which was B's first! Hahaha. A picture of us before we embarked on a day of adventure and serious butt work out! 

The Kaohsiung pier. You can pay for the ride either via a transport card or coins. There is discount for students! So do remember to ask the ticketing officer what are the rates. The ferry was used like a public transportation and there were so many scooters and bikes waiting to board the ferry!

Check out the people on board the ferry. They were all facing the exit so they could exit out quickly once the ferry docked at the pier. As excited tourists, we went the opposite direction to get a good view of the scenery on board the ferry! 

And the lighthouse! The weather was really hot that day, and we retreated inside the lighthouse to get a breather and cool ourselves down. There was a dedicated area for people to learn more about the history of the lighthouse.  

There was a model of the lighthouse inside the lighthouse. Inception of lighthouses. Hahah. :D 

"Hello!" from Cijin. :D

Success picture after several failed attempts! Had no idea what that pier was though but we readjusted so many times just to get it in the picture. Hahaha. 

My sour plum and milk icecream. :D:D We were so excited, we left our bikes in the sun! Silly us, but we shifted them after the very kind old lady told us. And she thought I was crazy wearing sleeveless. She insisted that I should be wearing long-sleeves to shield from the sun rays. But the weather was too hot! I just could not imagine myself with long sleeve. Probably get heat stroke!

Gotten a bubblepop soda before heading to the wholesale market behind (the very colourful building). There were many dry goods stores selling similar items such as dried cuttlefish, fish floss and what not. We selected our store based on sincerity of the store keeper and the freshness of the goods. We bought quite a bit and the prices were definitely cheaper than any other place in Taiwan. So do pop by and grab some if you are in the area. We bought dried cuttlefish, fish floss and dried seaweed meant as seasoning for rice/porridge. 

And off for lunch! Cijin is famous for cheap and fresh seafood! Remember to always ask for their prices before committing. The stores would look after your bikes while you enjoy your meal, so no worries!

And we ended off with two large bowls of snow ice! It was so good and cheap!! I compared the price with Taipei. It was less than half the price of Taipei's! And a lifesaver in that hot hot weather. The mango flavour was stronger while the milk flavour was more fragrant. 

It was located opposite the Kaohsiung Pier and definitely worth a try. We actually saw it on Channel 8 while planning for our trip and decided to hunt down the store. The friendly concierge at Icon helped to locate the store. Read more about Icon in my Grad trip to Taiwan Fun Day 2 

And here is B with the Charcoal Chicken Mushroom Pao. It was really soft and the meat was really tender! I am practically drooling thinking about it.

B goofing around with the Art display at Bo'er! Hahah. His aspiration yo!

The super tired me with a high bun that made me looked like a Tao Priest! Haha

And from here onward, you will see a lot of pictures of 2 fat figures- a man and a lady. There are actually the main attractions at the Bo'er lane and are painted by designers and artists. The two figures represents that people in Kaohsiung. In the past, the men were involved in construction work hence the worker helmet and utility belt as well as the huge muscles! The ladies were fishmongers, hence the hat and arm sleeves. The big butt of the ladies is to represent their role in reproduction! Hahah. I thought they were really cute!

We took the High Speed Rail once again and it was only about an half hour journey. Would like it to be longer as I was really tired from a whole day of adventure in Kaohsiung-Cijin.
