Taiwan Day 14: Chiayi

Some sightseeing around Chiayi, the one place I don't have to explain how to pronounce my name! Then to a decadent 10-course dinner and the most luxurious hotel experience of my life.

A cookie factory! We could smell the good smells as soon as we pulled into the parking lot.
The cookie factory encourages visitors: it's all decked out in photo ops and has a giant tasting room with alllll the cookie flavors to sample. Banana was Paul's favorite.
Lunch with our fellow travelers.

More unexpected body parts: fish head soup.
Found a bit of home
A bus covered in Astroturf…
And the interior styled like a fruit bar.
Detail from the temple. It's covered with these little figures.
Tea farm
I'm told all the hotels on Alishan are run-down and overpriced… not this one! Our hotel just built a year ago, and it was GORGEOUS.
Every detail was so beautiful.
Every detail was so beautiful.
I'm a shower and run kind of person; can't remember the last time I filled a bath. But this soaking tub I could not resist.
Fruit drinks on the rooftop bar next to the hot tub.
The beginning of our 10-course dinner. The appetizers alone would have been great, but the food kept coming… and coming… and coming…
The menu
The camera always eats first.
