We walk around,listen and understand the explanation from our lecturer. Then, starts with some sketches for the surrounding ambient. Next, is 台大医院~ Once i walk into this building, really have a feeling of 'wow'~ Seldom see this kind of architecture which used for hospital purposes. It built with a very manner in the sense of ventilation. I can't even smell the stench of medicine. Its really very different from the hospital in our country. Although it is built in English style, but it had been localized with the built of veranda, which is bring in from Malaysia and Singapore.

Its time to find food~ On the way to find our lunch, we walk by a lot of shop houses and different places. Just manage to took a quick snap to them. After lunch, we had been to 中山堂，post office,总统府. The 总统府was a very serious place,it is surrounded by many security guides. i found that along the floor at the front part of the building is built with sharp element. People cannot simply drive their car in. Sadly could not manage to take a photo on it as we were stopped by those security guide to take picture on this small piece of area =="

The only taken photo of the front view before stopped by the security guide.

We continue our walk to 自由广场. The place is very wide. There have an ending ceremony,we are about to reach it~ Chit chatting, taking photos and playing in this moment.A lot of tourist can be found here. Enjoying~ We took a lot group photos~~The friendship among us become more closer with this kind of activity^^

P.S: Different architectural style building can be found in Taipei city. Some were built during Chinese colonial,Japanese colonial or even in English colonial.Preservation should be continue to let our next generation can still see and touch them. But not only can found in books and internet. Site visit really can extend and enlarge our eye sight in looking into new things and different view~
