Today, our first stop is the Old Taiwan Magitrate Residence. Japan occupied Taiwan for about 50 years and there are a lot of historical sites in Tainan.
A lot of Chinese and Taiwanese still hold a grudge against Japan for what did to them during those times. I am not sure how I feel about Japan but history is history.
Today definitely feels like a typical summer day in Taiwan. We are under a heat advisory for our remainer time in Taiwan. So we need to limit our activities outdoors.
Our next stop was the Confucius Temple. I love historical sites!!!
I think this is my third time visiting the Confucius Temple, even though it was very hot, I still loved it!
We saw a couple getting their wedding photos done at the temple and we had to let them know how great they looked for their photo shoot and wish them a happy life together.
Next, we went to Hayashi, which is the first Japanese style shopping mall. It was opened on December 5th, 1932. My aunt said after the Japanese retreated back to Japan, nobody took care of the building and it was abandoned for a while. She always thought it was a haunted house when she was little. Then some residents realized that it is a historical site and they restored it.
One of our friends from a while ago lives in Tainan. Every time we visited Tainan, we never had a chance to meet up. She saw my Instagram account that we are in Tainan so she made a special stop at Hayayshi and brought me a cup of iced coffee and a couple little snacks.
We had lunch at Du Xiaoyue with their famous noodle. Their noodles are what the teenagers said the best meal they had out of this whole trip.
Since it was so hot. We went to have some icy treats.
We then went home to play mahjong and had a simple dinner!
