Where Are We Going Sis? (姐姐去哪?): Day 6: Hohhot to Taipei to Taichung

Savoring our last breakfast in Hohhot. :)
















Omelette 














Pellegrino for us & yoghurt for Tina. 
















This morning we made a trip to Sai Shang Old Street (塞上老街). :)












































A very hot day. *.*
















Wonder if there are real. :)




























Traditional art






























Birds & cages



Antique watch shop. 




































































































































Tina takes a peep. :)




























The weather is way too punishing. : O

















Waiting for some souvenirs to be made. 









































We hopped over to Da Zhao Temple (大召寺). A police on the street informed Tyler there was an annual procession going on and Tyler took us over to have a look. :)

Only heads. :)))





















































































We were about to leave but Tyler told us there was some procession going on & that it was rare. So we stayed on to watch. :)))



















































































































Why is this uncle standing so close to Tina???

































Cosmo flowers and apple tree in the temple. :)

































We did't stay for the whole procession as we had to head back to Shang Palace for lunch. :)





























Beef with radish :)






Chicken soup




























Pork belly with preserved veg :)















Cabbage with minced pork :)
















Shrimp fried rice















Happy to be eating Jake's cooking one last time before leaving Hohhot. :)










Completing our lunch with fresh fruits. :)





























Received a note from Victor upon checking out. :)
































Our experience in Hohhot has been a wonderful one because of Victor & his team. :) It feels like home. :)

He even completed the departure card for us. :)))
















Driving to the airport



Drove past Inner Mongolia Museum :)















Leaving Hohhot...















Inner Mongolia Airport isn't tourist friendly. We were lost at the airport as we weren't able to find the Eva Air counter. The international counter is right at the end of the airport and you need to go through immigration checks before seeing Eva Air counter. *.*

We weren't the only foreigners who were lost. :)))
















Bye bye Hohhot. :) You have been warm!








Headed straight to Taichung upon arriving in Taoyuan International Airport. Our home for the next two days, Hotel One. :)











Hungry gals were hungry and went about looking for food. 













































Closed our eyes and ate junk food tonite. :)))

Fried yam cake with caipo. 














Popcorn chicken. :)




























Fries! I miss you so so much! :D














We ended our first nite in Taichung with full body massages at Chun Bu Lao (春不荖足湯養生館). :))) 2.30am...yawn...
