I've visited many aquariums, not only in Taiwan but also in Seoul, South Korea, Bangkok, Thailand, and Japan. Although the Taoyuan xpark Aquarium is a bit small and can be toured in about an hour, the glass is very clean and clear, allowing for very clear and beautiful photos. Unlike some aquariums where the glass feels unclean, making the photos look blurry and dirty. After visiting the aquarium, you can also go to the Gloria Outlets~

#JanuaryGoodPlace2025 #TaoyuanAirport #StarluxAirlineVIPLounge StarluxAirlineVIPLounge is located in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 of Taoyuan Airport. This time we went to the VIP Lounge in Terminal 1. It occupies an area of ​​about 31 seats and is equipped with independent and double sofas. The self-service area has salads, soups, cooked food, bread, SEASON cakes, Niaowei ice cream, alcohol and soft drinks, etc. After sitting down, there will be a menu for choosing meals. This time, we chose Fuhang soy milk sesame cakes and soy milk. The scallion pancakes and pepper pancakes from Fuhang Soy Milk tasted ordinary, and the crust of the pepper pancake was so hard at one corner. The cakes had cheese and chocolate. I only wanted to eat one but I wanted to eat them all 🤣🤣. The cheesecake was very delicious 😋. The ice cream was a collaboration with Niniao, and it was also very good. I ate so much that I was super full before I even got on the plane. How to enter the VIP lounge: 1. Purchase a Starlux business class ticket 2. Explorer members with a high card or above can bring one additional person (also on Starlux) 3. E.Sun Starlux co-branded card - World Elite card (by invitation only)

The Starlux Airlines First Class Lounge is located in Terminal 2, directly opposite Gate D7. It takes about five minutes to walk from the Terminal 2 departure area to the lounge. Upon entering the lounge, it is divided into two sides: the right side is for First Class, and the left side is for Business Class. The First Class lounge has one restroom for men and one for women, as well as a shower room equipped with a Dyson hairdryer. The lounge is relatively small, with a private room that is perfect for those who prefer solitude. Since there are few First Class passengers, the lounge is quite peaceful. As for the food, I had already eaten my fill at the Evergreen Business Class Lounge and would be eating again on the plane, so I only had chicken satay and some desserts in the lounge. The chicken satay is exclusive to First Class, while the desserts were taken from the Business Class lounge next door 🤣🤣. The staff were all very nice, frequently asking if I needed anything to drink. They also took me on a tour of the Business Class lounge next door and provided an introduction.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 China Airlines has a total of four VIP lounges at Taoyuan Airport, two in Terminals 1 and 2 respectively. This time we experienced the Gold Card VIP Lounge located next to Gate D4 in Terminal 2. Following the calligraphy and ink painting design style of Taoyuan Airport, this China Airlines lounge is also decorated in calligraphy style, with a very oriental aesthetic atmosphere. Freshly cooked beef noodles have always been the selling point of the VIP lounge at Taiwan Terminal. Naturally, I ordered a bowl to try it out. The braised soup was very flavorful. Although it was prepared first and then the soup was added, the overall taste was ok, but it was still a little inferior to the higher-end China Airlines Meiyuan. The VIP lounge of China Airlines Flight 2 is long and narrow. Everyone is crowded near the dining area. There are quite a lot of people with different appetites. They eat quickly and leave quickly. The waiting room outside is more interesting. #ChinaAirlines #Taoyuan Airport VIP Lounge

First experience at China Airlines' business class exclusive lounge 'Plum Garden'! Thanks to my brother being a China Airlines Diamond member, I got to enter the Plum Garden lounge located at Taoyuan Airport Terminal 2. I must say, it is very unique and has a charming ambiance. The overall design and decor have a traditional feel, which perfectly matches the elegant atmosphere suggested by the name 'Plum Garden'. In addition to the regular buffet area, Plum Garden also offers a made-to-order main course menu. The flavors here definitely surpass those of the buffet area, especially the must-try beef short ribs. The grilled and pan-seared beef is so tender and flavorful that I ended up ordering a second plate! The overall resting environment in Plum Garden is quite comfortable and quiet, and the landscaping is very photogenic. If you have the chance to fly with China Airlines, you must come and experience it.

Thanks to the DragonPass, I was able to access the 'Oriental Club Lounge' at Taoyuan Airport, located on the fourth floor of Terminal 2 after security. The lounge is newly renovated and stylish, with plenty of seating, though it can get crowded during peak flight times, sometimes requiring a wait. The biggest selling point of the Oriental Club Lounge is the freshly made hot food. There are six dishes to choose from: braised beef noodles, shrimp roll braised pork rice, goose oil scallion blanched vegetables, wild mushroom sesame oil noodles, healthy vegetable noodles, and taro rice noodle soup. The food is served hot and delicious, and the beef noodles can be customized with less noodles, which is a nice touch. Besides eating and resting, the lounge also offers shower rooms for a refreshing wash and massage chairs for relaxation, which is quite nice.
