A Trip with Photography club

Photography club went to Leofoo Village Theme Park in Hsinchu. We rode motorcycles to Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, bought some breakfasts, and then took the bus to Hsinchu.

The bus moved fast on the highway. We ate breakfast and chat on the bus. I seldom got up so early after graduating from junior high school and I felt very tired, so I fell asleep soon.

We arrived in Hsinchu Trains Station, just take under two hours. To my surprise, the weather was very nice in Hsinchu. I was first time to Hsinchu town centre. There were Sogo department store, Subway restaurant, Friday’s restaurant and some stores. It was more prosperous than my imagination.

We transferred taxis to Leofoo Village Theme Park. The taxi driver introduced Hsinchu’s streets and roads, Hsinchu’s high-speed railway station and Hsinchu’s specialties on the road.

Arrived in Leofoo Village Theme Park, a senior who study in National Chiao Tung University graduate school came to meet us. Entering the amusement park, Everybody decide to ride Little Rattle in Wild West Area to warm up. Though it is a small roller coaster, Tozck who is the head of our club still was afraid to ride it. He was afraid that roller coaster rises and falls. Then we went to ride Screaming Condor. Screaming Condor is a kind of roller coaster, people is swing and it will dive backwards and forwards. It was too exciting for me to ride it, so I wait them with Tozck. After the terrible roller coaster, we went to play the Big Canyon Rapids Ride. We take a boat and float on the cascades. We were afraid that water might let us moistness, so we dodged the sprays constantly. But we were wet totally finally. Then we decided to take a rest and ate lunch.

After lunch, we went to ride Pancho Villas Crazy Barrels. It is an amusement device that people sit in it and it will rotate fast, resembling coffee cup. I feel that a little boring. Then we went to ride Captain Cook’s Swinging Ship. In fact, it was traditional corsair. I was a few nervous when waiting, because it swayed very high and almost perpendicular. When playing, I felt so exciting. I even took picture with my friend at the tiptop. And we two accompanied the other friends to play again.

Then we went to Arabian Kingdom Area. Here were so exotic. There was parade, I saw a lot beautiful woman in Arabian traditional clothes dancing. Some went to ride Ring of Fire. It is a device a little like roller coaster, but the carriages is on a circle, and it will rotate 360 angular magnitudes. The others who did not want to ride wait them and took picture by the side. Then we went to Sultan’s Adventure. We took the jeep to explore, and there were a lot living models like monsters, witches, dragons and mummies. Sultan’s Adventure was very exciting.

After our Arabia adventure, we went to Mighty Mountain Flume Adventure which was the one of very popular devices in Leofoo Village Theme Park. It is a little like splash Mountain in Disneyland. We took boat, and slide down from the height of many floors. There was water under the mountain. When we slide down, it will splash, and we all wet completely.

After playing many devices, we all felt tired, so we walked around and ate something special like ice cream, fried corn and Indian pastry which pack some roasted meat, raw vegetable and mayonnaise. Although those foods were expensive in the amusement park, they all were very delicious.

In evening, there was a performance of water fountain. Graceful music, glorious water fountain and colorful lights made a perfect ending for us.
