Lavender Cottage & Bei-Pu Town

Over the past two weekends,we visited Lavender Cottage and Bei-Pu Town. And since both of these places are in Hsinchu County(about 30 minutes drive from where we live),they make it a perfect choice for a half-day trip. : )

This was our second visit(Rainny's first visit) to Lavender Cottage.I think this yellow cottage style house is really cute. It's actually a gift shop where you can buy a lot of herb-related stuff to take home with.
The owner grows many different kinds of lavender in their herb garden. They have one kind that has pineapple smell so I picked one to smell and it dose smell like pineapple!
Lavender Cottage provides free cards for tourists to write down their wishes and you can tie your wish card on a tree. Out of curiosity, I couldn't help wondering what most people would have written on their wish card...so I looked and it turns out that lots of them wish:
"I want to be rich!","I want to have a lot of money"...that kind of money wish.
One guy even wrote down all the dream cars he wants...hahaha...lots of funny wishes.
Bei-Pu is a small Hakka town with lots of street vendors and Hakka food. A lot of the street vendors here offer free smaple of the food they are selling and we ate a lot! :p
We saw a guy standing in the middle of the road selling balloons and we wanted to get one for Rainny. I showed Rainny the Hello Kitty balloon but she wouldn't even look at it,so I showed her the Micky Mouse one and her face just lighted up!!! In order to test if she really likes Micky Mouse,I tried again by putting both Micky and Minnie in front of her. Guess what? She chose Micky over Minnie(because Micky is a boy)!!! Hahaha....so funny!!!
