Day 1
You apparently can see some sort of rare bird in the Taipei botanical gardens, goodness knows how as it is tiny and I couldn't see the tiger in front of my face.
Anyhow first day proper, started off in the National Palace Museum, which holds most of the Ancient Chinese things that Chiang Kai Shaek disappeared with after he lost the war.
It's a tradition, a tiger and a cannon. This time from the university near Danshui
A very strange tourist attraction near Danshui, the ... fort. Basically it is a lump of concrete put up 100 years ago, there used to be guns but not anymore and renovations began in 1991 apparently, sure it will be finished any day soon.
No idea what this is all about either, looks like they use the passages underneath as a store room.
Martyr's shrine
Not sure what they are selling but they have two hogs tied up outside, unlikely to be a vegetarian restaurant.
