On our last night at Taipei, as we hurried back from our road trip to head for next plan that Tina had book this place for us a few days before it and I am looking forward for Taipei Nightlife as we usually seen in youtube or any media that its so happening. Barcode Bar

The public transportation is so convinient that we can take the MRT to the nearest station that heading to Taipei 101 then its about 10 minutes walk from there where the club is nearby the area of Taipei 101.

The busy district of Taipei City for shopping area and nightlife. We reach the area around 10.30pm and the bar is located next to the purple neon light.

In this area they have 4-6 shopping malls link nearby that you can shop freely  . . .my next trip, I definately would want to spend more time heere and head to their club!

Barcode (5)

As what we have been told, Barcode is one of the finest and hottest bar in the area and reservation of a table is a must as its mostly full house during weekend. Barcode is located on the 5th floor on Neo 19 Building which have a side entrance, a lift directly up to the bar.

Remark: to enter this Bar, they have pretty strict dress code, is all guys must wear collar shirt, dress smart! Do call them up to check out more detail on the dress code!

As we were there pretty early, the bar is already all filled in . ..

Barcode (8)

I just love the interior of the bar, a porch area, read on a few review that the bartender in Barcode served very good cocktails, or they would prepare anything that you ask for you shower you with the best drink.

As late at night, the people already flock the whole area to full house, with many standing at the side. . .

Barcode (9)

The DJ deck area is pretty cool and dress smart too.

Barcode (10)

another section that they have pool table for you to chill with your friends and a big screen TV to watch your favourite football match.

Barcode (11)

Not only that, they have another large indoor balcony area with another DJ playing in it, here is a bit warmer compare to our section and they do  have another VVIP area I would say as a big guy bouncer standing infront of the entrance and block me as I do not have another chop. Can’t peek in there too as its block with a door.

Barcode (12)

The alcohol for the night that they order was Aberldy 12 years old Single Malt Scoth Whisky. The taste wise, I still prefer more on other brands like Glenmorangie, Highland Park and Macallen which is still my all time favourite.

Since like this week is more like holiday mood since Raya Holiday is this weekend, lets discover one of the place I went in Taiwan. After our morning session of MaoKong Gondola and head to Taipei 101, then our next destination is to Taiwan Storyland which showcase the olden days of Taiwan lifestyle.

storyland

It might look pretty ugly outside but that’s the main purpose of it that they had transform the whole basement into classic era olden days of Taiwan architecture which is from 50’s – 70’s. It is very impressive that the whole place are decorated with mini streets, vintage bicycle, cars, cameras, coffee shops, police stations  and many more.

storyland (2)

If you are interested in the lifestyle of Taiwan olden days, then I would recommended this place as its a good place for photoshoot as we thought we would just spend a short time in this place but ended up 3 hours as we camwhore alot..So be prepared to scroll it..:)

storyland (3)

On the way walking to the ticket counter we had already encounter the classic feeling that we were actually back to the 70’s with the film poster and advertisement decorated along the way yet shine it with classic orange light bulbs.

Since then now every one is in holiday mode, I’ll continue with my Taiwan Trip Day 3 discovery and its on day 3, after unique Taiwanese Breakfast of Spicy Soyabean we head to Maokong for mountain scenic view.

On the way heading there, we took the MRT and change to LRT/ Monorail to head to MaoKong which is one of the last 2 stations on the very end of this line, MRT Taipei Zoo Station and walk about 5-10 minutes to the Gondola station.

If you feel your shop need more ‘ONG’ then you can import the whole big lucky cat infront of your shop.

The Maokong Gondola (貓空纜車) is a gondola lift transportation system in Taipei, Taiwan. Opened on July 4, 2007, the Maokong Gondola runs between Taipei Zoo and Maokong. The total length of the line is 4,030 meters. The facilities of the gondola were contracted to the French company Poma. (source from Wikipedia)

The fare charge as above.

The full ride to reach the top takes about 10-15 minutes ride, so sit and just enjoy the overview of it.

While we are waiting for the gondola it feels like we are going up to Genting which had similar scene up the hills.

Camshot inside the Gondola.

Scenic view on the way up.

I just love this shot by ah Pak that I have edited a bit on.

Reaching the peak of it and seriously we are roasted by the temperature of 38 degree and no wind, felt like we are in the sauna. This is their tourist information counter with a very friendly staff manning it. One thing for sure that I spoke mandarin with the gurl and she reply us in English. I guess she is train to speak in English to most of the people up here but one thing for sure, we came up here in the wrong season, as there is nothing to see and its pretty quiet during Summer time. As we were told by one of the locals there is that the best Season to come up here is Spring with flowers blossoming everywhere and tea leaves is fresh and green.

According to the tourist info map we got, this Tea House is one of a famous tourist area that you can enjoy your afternoon tea while looking at a beautiful scenery.

3 (15)

The place is well decorated with the sound of the waterfall makes the whole ambiance so natural that its so relaxing to sit in here to dine or for tea.

3 (16)

More like a very traditional Chinese Heritage area with wooden floor and ceiling, a mini Koi Pond and waterfall, private room area with ceiling fan that keep the whole place very cool and relaxing.

3 (18)

Private room that I felt that its back to those Chinese Emperor era.What is missing that girls wearing like the princess.

3 (19)

This is what we can view from our scene which is the most perfect room that we have requested. Only 3 rooms are available with these scenery.

3 (20)

In this restaurant or Tea House there are a basic surcharge for Tea that I cannot really remember. If order set lunch or ala Cart menu then it would be waived.

3 (21)

Nice tea set.

3 (23)

The tea leaves that we ordered is Kuanyin Tea which is much strong in taste and very yellowish that I love my tea to be and some of them prefer mild tea therefore another one would be Oolong Tea. Mild in taste yet aromatic aroma.

3 (24)

3 (26)

This is how we enjoy our cup of tea from the hot burning sun as we were so comfort and thinking of going out is just so hard. Wish we could stick here longer and definately will be visiting here again during Spring if there is a chance.

Going back down to business district area and next area is 101 Taipei which did known as one of the tallest building in the world.
