Taiwan 2014 Day 4 - Leofoo Theme Park & Animal Resort

This was the highlight of our trip, albeit the most expensive one too! Money well spent though, even I was enthralled by the close promximity between the giraffe and me!

We left Taipei early morning and checked in to our resort in Leofoo, Hsinchu. The moment we stepped into the lobby, the kids were so thrilled at the sight of the animals just a few steps away. We had double storey room which the kids obviously enjoyed chasing each other up and down the stairs.

Very lively night entertainment by the South African performers

The Leofoo Theme park, whilst kinda rundown (especially when compared to our swanky, new Universal Studios but what did we expect, since it's the 35th anniversary) it had many activities and rides for adults and childen. Disclaimer: This is just my family's point of view as we are huge fans of theme parks. Really, really HUGE.

Started off with the African Safari and this was where we spent the entire morning. A few adventure rides, a train ride round the herbivore area, a bus ride through the carnivourous animals enclosure, "cycling" to view the monkeys and feeding the animals. One interesting aspect of this was we could actually release the gate to let out the animals if we wished. Being the urban girl, I didn't want to do that and I noticed that noone did that either. Except that we noticed a goat roaming wild and even escaped into the Alibaba world next door and I thought that was really cute...
