Taiwan trip-Pokémon safari Tainan

So happy that there was a Pokémon event at Taiwan during my trip there. The only con was that I need to travelled down to Tainan for that. Initially wanted to go Yangming Shan national park or jiufen but did not go in the end coz as a Pokémon fan, how can I missed gg for this event!

We took the high speed rail which is their bullet train from Taipei to Tainan and from there we took a train to Bao An station which was just a few stops away. 

From the station, it was another 10 mins walk to the Pokémon event. Omg, there were SO many ppl there! 

It was so unbelievable that there are still so many ppl playing this game! Everyone look like zombie waking around but staring at their Hp....haha....

The event was held in this large park where there is a very nice European style museum in the center. 

This place was really nice if only there aren’t so many ppl and the weather was really damn hot and humid that time. I would recommend paying a visit to Chimei museum coz it’s really quite impressive. 

Snapshot from my hp. This is how it looks like from the game point of view. The park was full of pokestops and it keeps spawning rare Pokémon like unown which are alphabets Pokémon and there are 7 of them which made up the word “Tainan zone”

There are also regional specific Pokémon called Relicanth which used to be only found in NewZealand can now be caught here!  

So everyone was busy catching and catching.....haha....

However, the connection was not v good as there are simply too many ppl and v often, the game hanged halfway or could not connect to the server. V frustrating.

There was also a pikachu and evee performance. But I did not watch as there are too many ppl and too hot...

There was a stretch of road called memory lane containing pokestops of all the past wall papers in this game. Can’t resist taking a snapshot of them all.

After a few hours, we decide to leave as it was too crowded and our connections to the game was bad....

Dejectedly, we left and decide to come back again tmr morning to try our luck again coz we haven’t catch all the unown pokemons.

We stayed for 1 night at Tainan station at Shangri-la far eastern hotel.

Stayed on the 22th floor. The room was spacious and comfy.



The view from the window was fantastic! There were no buildings obstructing the view as the hotel was the tallest building in around. It’s like a million dollar view for us as we can see almost the whole of Tainan from our windows.

Large bathroom with separate shower area and bath tub.

Dinner was at Shun Shui Tang located inside the shopping mall linked to the hotel. 

One of my fave milk tea from 7-11. It taste really good!
