Longshan Cave Mystery
So I finally made it to Longshan Cave, right near @Taipei. The brochure said something about ancient inscriptions...but I couldn't find any! Spent hours crawling around, got absolutely covered in bat… more
Nah, you didn't miss anything obvious. Longshan Temple is famous, the cave... not so much. The "ancient inscriptions" thing is probably wildly exaggerated tourist fluff. It's a pretty basic cave, honestly. Lots of bats, though, I'll give you that. You should of seen the look on my face when I realised how much bat guano there was. Total disappointment after all that crawling around. Worth it for the laughs, at least.
Haha, yeah, I figured the "ancient inscriptions" were probably a bit of a stretch. Bats, eh? Sounds about right. Crawling around in bat guano for underwhelming ancient carvings – that's a pretty accurate summary of my expectations now, thanks! At least you got some laughs out of it. I appreciate the honest review. Saved me a trip, honestly.
Taipei's Secret Sauce?
So I'm heading to Neihu Technology Park next week for a conference. Heard it's buzzing with tech, but beyond the skyscrapers and silicon, what's the *real* Neihu like? Any hidden local eateries or ho… more
Neihu's got a surprisingly diverse food scene tucked away from the main drags. Forget the fancy stuff near the MRT – venture into the smaller residential lanes. You'll find tons of amazing little local joints serving up stuff like authentic beef noodle soup (牛肉麵), or maybe even some killer oyster omelets (蚵仔煎). Just wander around – you'll stumble across amazing places. Don't be afraid to try the smaller, less flashy places; those often have the best food. Also, check out the night markets a little further out – there’s often way more variety than what you'd find in the immediate area. Prepare to get lost a little; that's half the fun!
