Today marks a day of travel as we journey from Yilan to Chingjing, a drive spanning approximately four hours.  Hengboi was so highly engrossed with his rented designer car that by the time we checked out , it was noon time.  Although the original check-out and car return time were set for 11 a.m., we were fortunate to secure an extension until 11:30 am. (better than nothing right).

We had a pit stop approximately 1.5 hours into the drive for some stretching, toilet break, and some sugar boost. There was a really big space for the boys to run around.

We then made a stop for lunch at 海瑞摃丸 which is popular for their white beehoon, and was approximately a 25-minute drive from our previous pit stop. When traveling with kids on long drives, it’s essential to take frequent breaks, ideally during their nap time, to ensure their comfort and well-being.

After lunch, we all took a nap in the car, which felt incredibly refreshing! The journey from the lunch spot to Chingjing took about 2 hours. We woke up just as we were about to ascend the mountain. To prevent any discomfort, I gave the boys some gummies to chew on, ensuring they wouldn’t feel queasy. While the view up the mountain was already impressive, our driver mentioned that it’s even more spectacular during cherry blossom season when the roads are adorned with delicate blooms.

And… it’s dinner time again haha! It was close to 6:30 pm when we arrived. Naturally, the perfect meal for our mountain retreat was steamboat!

By the time we checked in to Chingjing Abin Minshuku, it was dark. But this doesn’t stop the boys from going “wow” when they see their room. It’s literally a mini indoor playground in the room. Read our review on Chingjing Abin Minshuku. With much effort, I managed to get the boys off the slide and onto the bed to sleep. Finally!
