Standing at 20 m tall and 40 m wide Shi Fen Waterfall Park 十分 瀑布公园 was one of the places we visited during the Valentine’s Weekend in Taiwan. I have a passion for waterfalls and showcased some mini ones last week.
Nicknamed the ” Little Niagara” this waterfall is a very popular stop along the historic Pingxi Railroad. There is even a train stop at the waterfall itself.
This way to the waterfall
It takes about an hour drive from Taipei and we started our journey bright and early after breakfast that day.
The view of the waterfall from the first lookout point.
There was three different spots to view the waterfall from. At the first viewing platform we could only see the top of the falls as there were rather tall trees blocking my view.
The view from the 2nd spot
From the 1st viewing place we walked to the 2nd. This one was lower down from the 1st and gave us a wider view of the falls.
A zoomed in picture of the falls
Looking at the water cascading over the rocks was a really magnificent sight.
The view from the 3rd lookout point
Which view do you like the most?

Hobbiton Exhibit at Terminal 3, Singapore Changi Airport
New Zealand is one country which I really wish to visit. R has been there a couple of times and I really love the pictures that he took of their scenery. The snow capped mountain tops and the possibility to try out activities like bungee jumping and white water rafting.
Even though I have yet to visit the place the kids and I were fortunate to get a taste of New Zealand this March school holidays when we visited Changi Airport’s Terminal 3.
The 3 kids and me outside the Hobbit Hole
Since watching the show The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogies in the cinema, I have been having a fascination about this place called Middle Earth. It was great that I was able to visit this second authentic Hobbit Hole which had been specially imported from Matamama , New Zealand for this exhibition.
Gandalf and The RING
Do you remember seeing this guy- Gandalf? The all powerful high wizard who help chase away all the bad guys who came after Frodo for his golden ring. The kids certainly don’t know who he is as they just ran past the exhibit to the more interesting things to do.
They haven’t heard about Middle Earth, Gandalf or the places in Hobbiton Woods as they have yet to watch the shows.
Tiger girl watering the plants
What was more interesting then looking at the exhibits?
Watering the plants it seems as she was attracted to this watering can when she spotted it outside the Hobbit Hole.
A spinning wheel which introduced the different fun activities available in NZ.
The boys went in to the house and were caught having a go at this wheel spinning it.
The boys fixing a puzzle
They also had a go fixing this puzzle which they saw at one of the display areas.
The boys having a go at putting
Tiger girl too tried her hand at it.
The kids had a go at the golf putting range. It would certainly a visual treat if I do get to play golf among the mountains one day.
A write up about the all Blacks the national rugby team in NZ
An exhibit for the Cycling trails in NZ
The kids skipped pass these exhibits and went straight for the most enticing one there.
The 5D Simulator Ride
This short ride was suppose to be thrilling for my adrenaline junkies but it fell flat according to their standards. They found the trip through the stimulated roller coaster ride extremely passive and even the 4 yr old complained that it was not fun enough. Nothing beats riding on a real roller coaster I guess.
The kids having their pick of organic ice-cream
What was lacking in the ride was made up in ice-cream as they were treated to some yummy organic ice-cream at the end of the tour
Now is there anyone who wants to sponsor us air tickets for us a visit to New Zealand?
