Hsinchu Day Trip － 新竹六福村一日游

As soon as we settled down in Hsinchu town in Pranay house, Liyi and me were invited by my Couchsurfing host for a day trip to visit Leofoo Theme park 新竹六福村. Without much doubt, we accepted and even invite Q & Taiyu (Our Taiwanese Friends) to join us for this trip. 

City bus in Hsinchu cost 15NTD/ entry and going most main road, we took Bus no.1 which travel from train station (city centre) toward GuangFu Rd(光复路), pass by 清华大学，科学园，高铁站. We gathered at 清华大学 early in the morning before depart to the theme park by Taxi. After 30minutes of Taxi ride, which cost about 800NTD/way, we arrive Leofoo Theme Park. 

Thanks to Mukesh, all of us enjoyed discounted entrance fee at 530NTD/person, instead of 890NTD.

We arrived before the park opening hour, but the crowds were already happening.

Once we got in to the theme park, these Alpaca (草泥马／羊驼) were really cute and attract our attention. These animals too were newly introduced into their animal Zoo. Hence, they promote heavily to boost popularity.

The journey begin with the "BIRD FLY HIGH" 飞行部落, where everyone can enjoy watching bird performance and talent show presented by these trained birds, which include Parrots, Bucerotidae (犀鸟）, Flamingo, and many other types of birds.

This bird call "Money", it can fetch money from audience and then sent it back to her again.

This Painter is expert in drawing abstract painting, it's painting can be anything.

Recycle Parrot that place rubbish into the bin. 

What's more is that the theme park provide shuttle train for visitors to see the wildlife animal closer! These are some photos taken throughout the journey. 

An abandoned jeep, i guess its solely for display only.

草泥马，草泥马！

Straight after the train tour, we witnessed wonderful dance from international dancer as well as the Alpaca and Mini horses. Everyone were excited to grab a photo together with Alpaca, and so do we! Besides, we also got the chances to grab some photos with beautiful dancers from abroad. Everyone fall into the happy-photo-hour with anyone they like. 

Q and Taiyu!

Me and Liyi!

The Sexy dancer and us!

The Alpaca Lunch, cost 200NTD with fries and drink, pretty expensive, but its expected in a theme park.

At first it seems like less excited, but got stunned once it run, 囧

Sky Shoot! I don't even have enough time to scream, then it stopped.

Conventional Pirate ship.

Nice teeth!

巨嘴鸟，different from 犀鸟，originally from Brazil.

Final photo before we leave the theme park.

The theme park closed at 5PM during public holidays. Hence we have to got out early to avoid traffic. But seems like we were still late to exit the theme park, because there were already big crowds waiting buses to go back. At the end, we took a taxi and get back to the point where we gather, and to the city centre for dinner. It amazed me when i notice all the food court is literally "next" to the 城隍庙 temple. We can even heard the ongoing talk and presentation organized in the temple while we eating.

It was really an exhausting outing for us, from morning until we reach home at 10pm. I really enjoyed the hospitality of Taiwanese in food industry, and also tourism. They are professionally trained, and treat customers in the way the world should, they greet properly, provide information, being polite, and always carry smile on their faces. Moreover, the food in Hsinchu is awesome, special 肉圆 only in Hsinchu，贡丸 with filling and soup，蚝煎（OA JEN）. Even a plate of ordinary fried meehoon made in Hsinchu shines. Finally, if there are any question regarding the planning and budget for the trip, please do no hesitate to ask me and i will try to assist fellow traveller as much as i can because travelers should help each another.
