Pulau Sembilan, Perak - The mysterious phenomena of the Blue tear (蓝眼泪) -Day 1

It's really been a long time not updating my blog, just return from Pulau Sembilan and would like to blog it when it is still fresh in my mind.

There is only 2 agency in order to go Pulau Sembilan as followed:
Hai Xing (海星) : https://www.facebook.com/pulausembilanicestar/?fref=ts
9 Island Agency  (环岛旅游业) : https://www.facebook.com/Nineislandagency/

We choose Hai xing as it offers cheaper package than the other agency, 2 days 1 night for RM 270. The package inclusive of the following and the itinerary would be at the end of the post.

We departed early and arrive at the Bagan Datoh jetty by 8:30 am for our simple breakfast. The directions to the jetty would also be provided by the agency, but here is the address in case you would like to have it. If you are thinking to go to the place and only self-travel to the island, it would not be possible as you will still need to engage one travel agency to bring you over.
Address: 19 Bagan Sungai Burung, 36100,Bagan Datoh, Perak, Malaysia
GPS coordinates 3.976826, 100.705519

Before the details, here is a panaroma view of pulau sembilan, such a beauty.
We arrive the jetty by 8:30am, and had a simple breakfast provided by the agency which is our local delicacy - Nasi Lemak. We also bought a pack of Teluk Intan's famous Chee cheong Fan.

Thinking that my post for taiwan will be numerous post but I still can't shorten my post. Because every detail and moment is memorable for me to jot it down. You can find my Day 4 post of Hualien & Jiufen here.

Day 5 was a great day, we went to 13 places in 13 hours. That's really an amazing journey with our great driver Mr Meeky Yang. He only drive Malaysians and Singaporeans, because he mentioned that M'sians and Singaporeans are fast and steady people, which makes us smile within our hearts. Maybe we got the "KIASU" spirit which someway bring benefits.

Day 4 Backpack Taipei, Taiwan Trip (台湾台北行)

The Hualien & Jiufen day - Beautiful beach scenery and old streets with greenery 

Continuing from my Day 3 post of the Hualien City

If you are keen to watch sunrise, remember to ask the reception the sunrise time.
They track it for their customer. How thoughtful! The sunrise was at 5.30 am the day we stayed in.
But I couldn't get to watch sunrise due to tiredness. My friend got to video the whole process for us thou. We woke up at 8am, after the complimentary breakfast and set off for cycling by the beach.

The hotel provide free bicycles for their guest. I shall not say much, let the pictures amaze you, enjoy!
