Last weekend, Mrs. Expatriate and I decided to take a trip to the Gukeng Coffee Festival. It’s a small gathering of people selling coffee, food, handicrafts, and other such things. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and there were quite a few people out and about. If you get a chance, I recommend you go.
Our trip started at the Gukeng Honey Museum, which is pretty small, but nice. There are no English signs, so you’ll have to look at the pictures or read Chinese in order to understand. You can also buy a wide variety of bee- and honey-related products, such as honey (Longan flavor, etc), pollen (great in tea or on ice cream), honey Liquor, honey vinegar, and so on. Outside, you can cool down with some honey ice cream, which is simply outstanding.
The Coffee Festival is at the end of a road that starts at the Honey Museum. You can walk down this road, stop for some drinks or food or watch street performers. Finally, you will come to the coffee festival, which is inside a large tent. It’s not just coffee. In fact, overall, there was relatively little coffee compared to the other offerings, but it’s still a great place to visit during this great weather we’re having in Taiwan.
After we got home, we noticed these white-headed birds eating some fruit in the trees. Can anyone identify them? I’d love to know what kind of bird they are.
