Trip South ~ Family Time Part Two

Finished with the business of the day, we headed to our special destination - just twenty minutes away from Bai He. I'm so glad we researched and decided where we were going ahead of time and that we chose somewhere close. Any further driving and the girls would not have held it together. This place was amazing. Whenever I go away in Taiwan for a 'holiday', I always feel like something is missing. This place was the entire package. After a long day on Wednesday and late night, even Steve (eternal sleepy head if given half a chance) was up and raring to go first thing. The Jian Shan Pi, Jiang Nan Resort is actually owned by Taiwan Sugar Co., Ltd. and is just over 100 hectares. All the facilities encircle a Reservoir and it's blurb reads that the resort " introduces a new era to tourism in Southern Taiwan." And, "is classified as one of the few resorts in Taiwan that can compete internationally." This rivalled anything I've seen in Taipei, Taipei could never compete with that much space and clean air. I was really impressed with what was happening down South. It's been a good nine years since I lived there and things are improving incredibly. Back to the resort. The staff were excellent. The hotel rooms were excellent. The log cabins were gorgeous, inside and out. The views were sensational and the clean air was a God send. The recreational activities hit just the right note. A perfect holiday for the family and one we will take again I'm sure of. Mid week off season prices also made this so worthwhile. And I love how in Taiwan check out is at 12. Do you know how much you can do if you get up early before 12? It's like another day! And this resort was in such an unlikely area too. But as we drove towards it and up the hill to the main entrance I just knew we'd hit the jackpot. Cannot seem to be able to say enough about this place. Really great. I think Evie's smile says it all...... she laughed and laughed at these greedy fish as Tilly doled out the food one bit at a time. I had to shake a whole heap out to get them to come back to her.
