Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Taipei / International Floral Expo

During our tour in the Shanghai World Expo 2010, I promised my mom and dad that I will take them to the Taipei (our hometown) to visit the International Floral Expo 2011 if they can stay healthy and fit for travel. Dad was fit, but mom was no longer with us. Still, I took mom’s picture along with us for one more visit to the places we loved.

First stop on this trip was Hong Kong.



Hong Kong lodging was expensive, so we stayed in one of the smallest hotel room I ever stayed. My out stretched arms can almost touch both sides of the room’s walls.



It is close to Chinese New Year, so we did some new year decoration shopping.




Next stop, we took a High speed train to Guangzhou. The background is the new Guangzhou tower.



There is also a Chen’s family temple / library from two centuries ago (as I am one of the millions Chen in this world):




We next fly to Taipei. It happens to be my father’s birthday, so we celebrated in my uncle’s home.




We finally got to the Taipei Floral Expo:








I think mom would have loved this place.

Another famous tourist’s attraction at Taipei is the night market:



And Taipei 101



It was a fun trip in the beginning of 2011.

I even bought myself a new Lamborghini.
