Yilan hop 2022 day 2: dejeuner à côte
Pin It
Just as I was planning my trip back to Taiwan and thinking of excursions out of Taipei with the Parental Units, I saw the announcement from Fudy about his new restaurant. He apparently decided to team up with André Chiang in his latest venture, located in a white, 3-story mansion nicknamed “the little white house (小白宮)" built in the 1980s which onced belonged to the Lu Clan in Toucheng (頭城). The look and feel of the building - fresh after some renovation - made it look like a holiday home on the Côte d'Azur.

I'm back in Taiwan spending Lunar New Year with the parental units, and the weather has been absolutely incredible for the last few days. I can't recall the last time when the sun was out for such an extended period of time during the holidays, and it's so warm that I'm actually comfortable in a single layer of cotton - and short sleeve! Naturally dad didn't want to spend the weekend cooped up at home, and decided we should take a trip outside the city.
Taiwan's a beautiful place once you leave the cities, but I've never had a lot of opportunity to see what's beyond Taipei city limits. So dad figured we'd circle around the northern coast of Taiwan, skirting along the coastline so we could take in the view. He also thought it'd be best if we did it counter-clockwise as it gets us the best views.
We set off late morning-ish, and encountered traffic jam not long after leaving the parental home. We knew there would be a lot of people heading out of the city, but this was ridiculous. We were stuck on the highway even before we reached the Nankang Tunnel, and there were 2 other long tunnels between us and Hsuehshan Tunnel.
