17 Dec 2014 - Taiwan Trip Day 4: Star Villa at Cinging (清境民宿天星度假山庄)

It's another 1.5 hours drive from Sun Moon Lake to Cingjing (清境), which is 1,750 metres up in the mountain.  Jerlene and Javier forced themselves to sleep in the car to avoid motion sickness as the road up is very windy.  By the time we reached our accommodation, the sky was totally dark.  I arranged with 曾先生 to come fetch us at 9am two days later.

Star Villa is where we will be staying in the coming two nights.

There are two blocks in this villa.  In the photo below, the left room at the second floor is where we will be staying.  All the rooms in this villa are named after a constellation.

This is our room, Gemini (双子座).

Behind our room is another block whereby the rooms are named after planets.  We will be having our star gazing session at the roof top of this block.  The session is conducted by the Villa owner every night at 9pm, provided the sky is clear.  This is one reason why I chose this Villa among the many minsu (民宿) in this area.

A cosy common area where guests can relax and chit chat by the fireplace.
