Maokong at last

My aunt stays in Beitou, as the name implies, it the most northern part of Taipei.
My cousin goes to uni in the southern most part of Taipei, near to Maokong.
Its a bit like staying in Woodlands & going to school in Vivo.

Over the weekend, while mom was here, my cousin took us to visit her uni & tour maokong at the same time.


Trivia: Why is Maokong call Maokong (貓空)?
In dialect "mao mao kang kang" means a lot of holes. The landscape around Maokong is very hilly & hence very uneven. So in the old days, they describe the area is very "mao mao kang kang"... When translated to Mandarin it became Mao Mao Kong Kong hence the name Mao Kong.
