Taiwan Trip Day 5 Part 2 - Luodong Night Market & Jiaoxi

From Meizhou 2nd road where all the factories we've visited are, we took a cab to Luodong Night Market. You can also take the train to Luodong station, then walk around 15 - 20 mins to the night market. Otherwise, you can also take a cab from the train station. Luodong Night Market is a popular night market in Taiwan; many people travel all the way from Taipei to Yilan just to visit this night market. Some of its famous food stall includes the herbal mutton soup, scallion pancake (葱油饼), and chicken chop.  We did not try the mutton soup as we are not a fan of the lamb, but there was already a long queue even though we were there quite early. For the scallion pancake, we thought that the one we had in the morning from Ke Shi (柯氏) was much nicer. The chicken chop is highly recommended; it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

Other than food, there were also games stalls, clothes and accessories stalls at Luodong Night Market.

Heading back to Jiaoxi, we stopped by a noodle store (有麵煮私房小吃) which attracts us with its  aroma every time we walked past the store. We had a bowl of noodle and a plate of dumplings before going back to the hotel.

Our hotel, 58 Degree Hot Spring Hotel, was just above the Chili Hunters Cultural Creative Museum, which sells all sorts of food (even ice cream) made from chili, and next to Tangweigou Hot Spring Park, which is an outdoor hot spring park where you can soak and relax your feet in this public hot spring pool after a long day of walking. The hotel gave us some vouchers to try the fish spa for free, so before we called it a day, we went for the fish spa to let the fishes "feast" on the dead skin of our legs.
