老街 (Old street)

To go to Sun Moon Lake from Taichung, one can take the bus (costs NT $190 per way per person) and takes 2 hours and it only gets to the Sun Moon Lake and had to take another bus costs NT $20 to 40?? from Sun Moon Lake to the cable car location.

We took the easier way (ie rent a private taxi for NT$3,000). We agreed with the driver that we want to cover the Cable car/Tribal village and then go to the Lao Jie (Old Street) an also go to Wen Wu temple. They were kinda on the way but if we used bus, would have to walk to those destinations or take taxi at Sun Moon Lake perhaps.

So above were the duck sausage stall. In NZ, whenever we go to any Taiwanese festival or Chinese NY festival, we always made sure we buy the taiwanese sausage from the stalls. but we have never seen Duck sausages in Auckland, so try that we must. It was NT $30 per sausage.

Our driver told us we had to try the stuffed chicken wing飯飯雞翅 Jake had tried them at Shilin market in Taipei but our driver Mr Li insisted that the ones in Sun Moon Lake were more authentic. Anyhow, it must be pretty good the queue was long, we queued for 15 to 20minutes and there were still at least 12 ppl ahead of us.  We went back to Mr Li as we needed to head to Wen Wu temple next. Turns out, Mr Li knows the chicken wing guy, so he helped us buy two stuffed chicken wings without even needing to queue. The chicken wing were NT $60 each.

 

Check out the glutinous filling.

It was delicious! Its definitely worth trying.
