Papaya River @ Hualien (Part 1) 台湾行:花莲之木瓜系民宿之住宿篇(上集)

地点:台北车站
参观时间:8:50早上
日期:十月二十五号二零一一年

有一天,懒洋洋的独自一人泡在cafe,随手抓了一本杂志突然发现我妈和我共同喜欢的动物和民宿。
母女俩,二话不说的决定这一次花莲的行程。
3个小时的路程,心里不断浮现出它们天真可爱的样子(非要卖关子不说是什么,你们将就我一下好了~两天后自然会揭晓),民宿好不好已经放在其次。
后来,到了也住过了木瓜系民宿,我只能说:100分。
原来真正的卖点,是动物和民宿本身。
回想那一天,抵抗不住台湾秋老虎的天气的我终于病倒了。
在旅游的过程,我们换了好几家酒店,虽然卧在花莲但睡得最香甜的晚上也是花莲-木瓜系民宿。

On a cheerful morning, my mom and I headed to Papaya River(B&B country-farm house) at Hualien. It was our first time travelling by train in Taiwan. The journey from Taipei to Hualien takes about 3 hours and according to my friend, Hualien is the largest county in Taiwan and is very well known for its natural sights.  


Papaya River Country Farmhouse in Hualien, is one of the very few places that rears our favorite animal. Without hesitation, we made a last minute arrangement to stay here before embarking onto Taiwan.


By far, this is the best stay we had in Taiwan. Well, I have to admit, I wasn't expecting too much of the accommodation. As I stepped into the farmhouse,  I was impressed by the amount of effort that the owner had put in into his country farmhouse. The decor of the farmhouse has been carefully selected with choice materials used for all its furnishings. This is evident in the entire building and also its surroundings. Needless to say, the magnificent view and the luxurious size of our room was well received.


As the most exciting part of our entire Taiwan trip, we soaked up and pampered ourselves after the week long hectic journey and enjoyed the slow pace of life in Hualien.

... and was called Natural Beauty and it was created by renowned British illustrator - Adrian Johnson.
I always loved vintage themes,  and seeing his work it reminded me a lot of the 1960's fashion trends where bold colors were married with a sense of humour.
