We booked the newer building that was behind their original/first building. The original one's named as the Constellation Theme (星座主題館 ) and the newer one's Solar System Theme (太陽系主題館). As the name of the buildings suggest, each room were named after each Constellation or Planets. We checked ourselves into Mercury (水星) and I loved that the room was spacious! Oh before that, we had to climb up really long flight of stairs up to third level! Almost died but felt accomplished!

The first thing I noticed was there was no aircon system except for a fan. Basically there was no need for the aircon because it was really cooling (and cold at night). But a downside, we couldn't really open the balcony door to enjoy the wind from the outside because there were few bugs and moths loitering outside and we didn't want them to fill up the whole room. But the fan was enough though! Another sad thing was our view was slightly blocked by the old building.

This was our most expensive per night stay but I thought the location and view was worth it! Especially it was at a higher point than the rest of the hotels in that area. But I got a little disappointed because I read from someone else's blog that we could enjoy sunrise at the hotel but when I checked with the lady boss, she said sunrise can't be seen from their location so we got to go up to Hehuan Mountain (合歡山; east of Cingjing). Well I was somewhat prepared to go up to Hehuan Shan because it's just a short drive up from Cingjing. Anyway, this hotel is a family business so the owners were really friendly and helpful! 

So we went out for late lunch at even though there were quite a few nice cafes/ restaurants (like steamboat, steak, etc) I wanted to drop-by the Cardboard King (紙箱王) (you can check out other locations. They've branches in Taichung and Taipei) which I've always seen friends posting on Facebook. This is an interesting place where everything's made of cardboard, such as their decorations, chairs, tables, menu to utensils (basically it's just anything made from wood pulp hahaha) Oh and another reason why we decided to have lunch there was to enjoy free tickets to Little Swiss Garden (小瑞士花園). Well, might as well right! Settling both lunch and admission tickets! :P

Honestly, the concept is great and fascinating! But the food's nothing to be raved about. As it was getting dark, we decided to just hang around that area and the Little Swiss Garden where it was also their Pinwheel Festival (風車節) - Taiwanese can really come up with all kinds of festivals to celebrate!

As the day/night before we were at Cingjing, there was rain and thus, on that day we arrived, it was really misty! Can't really enjoy a full view from our hotel plus when we went to Little Swiss Garden, I thought we were in some horror film! The mist was really bad and it really felt like the scene in "The Mist"! Couldn't really enjoy the place and we left back to our hotel after getting some postcards, chips and really sweet peaches (that were only grown in highland areas like Cingjing).
