It was more troublesome to apply for passes in Taiwan, and the time limit was longer. Qin Ze went through Xing Yi Entertainment, and it was much more efficient.
The Golden Melody Awards were on Saturday the 25th, and the siblings bought tickets for the 20th. They were preparing for a 5 day trip to Taiwan. As for Qin Bao's manager, assistant, etc., Qin Bao arranged to meet them at the hotel on the 25th.
Wang Zijin was envious and said regretfully: "I want to go too."
Qin Bao coldly rejected her. She did not want a third wheel like her to follow. "Are you saying that you touched my boobs for free?"
Wang Zijin straightened her chest and said: "I will let you touch my boobs back."
Qin Bao did not agree and mocked her best friend: "What's so good about small buns?"
Qin Ze thought in his heart. Small buns are also delicious.
In the end, there was an unavoidable war.
Qin Bao had gone to Hong Kong for a holiday when she was in university with her classmates. Other than the travel and accommodation expenses, she also asked her grandfather for nearly 10,000 RMB. She bought a lot of bags, cosmetics, clothes, and did not forget to bring back some gifts for Qin Ze.
Qin Ze was envious and went to his grandfather. "Dad, I also want to go and have fun. Can you give me some money?"
Actually, he did not like to travel. He mainly wanted to squeeze some money from his grandfather to fill his little treasury. However, the old man who knew his son better than his father could see through Qin Ze's thoughts. He immediately said, "Get lost."
When the elder sister returned, she showed off her travels to her younger brother. She said that there was nothing fun in Hong Kong. The prosperous areas were quite prosperous, but that was only a small area. Most of the residential areas were old and the houses were old.
Qin Ze suspected that his sister was lying. He only believed her after he went to university and studied economic history. The housing prices in China and Shanghai were scary, but they were not comparable to Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government relied on land auctions to become rich.
The highest prices were in Beijing and Shanghai. The average price in Hong Kong was 3 times that of Beijing.
Hong Kong's total land area was about 1,095 square kilometers, which was about 1/6 of Shanghai. One could only imagine how expensive the house was. But when it comes to housing prices, the Shanghai residents are more pressured. This is because of the difference in the average salary of Hong Kong and Shanghai residents.
That's why Qin Bao Bao said Hong Kong residents' houses were old. It was because the developers could not afford to demolish them. In recent years, many old houses in Shanghai were in a similar awkward situation. Qin Ze's aunt's house was said to be demolished ten years ago. Qin Ze's aunt's house was said to be demolished. Qin Ze's aunt looked forward to it, but it was not demolished.
They landed at Taoyuan Airport, and their first stop was Taipei. Before Qin Ze came, he had checked the travel guide. The siblings decided to travel from Taipei to Kaohsiung, and they would travel all over Taiwan. Five days was definitely not enough time for them to play around. Qin Ze picked a few of the most famous tourist attractions.
He discussed it with his sister. His sister waved her hand and said that she trusted Azé.
Qin Ze felt that she was just trying to be lazy.
Luckily, it was not the peak season, and there were not many tourists in Taiwan. They queued at the airport to take a taxi to Taipei.
Qin Bao Bao could do whatever she wanted. If she could take a taxi, why would she take the subway?
The taxi driver was a middle-aged man. He had been sitting there for a long time, so it was hard for him to escape the fate of having a big belly. He kept glancing at Baby Qin's face from the rearview mirror. She had a sharp chin, rosy lips, a sharp nose, and tender skin. It was a pity that she was wearing a pair of sunglasses, which affected the "viewing" effect.
"Her eyes must be very beautiful." The driver thought.
"Are you all tourists from China?" The driver asked in Mandarin with a heavy accent.
"That's right. We are here to look for friends." Qin Ze laughed. He did not say that this was his first time here. That's why Xiao Bai said this. No matter where they go, they must not say that they are not familiar with the roads. If not, they will get ripped off.
But Qin Ze had underestimated the determination of Taiwanese tourists to rip off Chinese tourists. He used his international roaming to check the index and sold a few shares. He switched to the map and noticed that the taxi had taken a long detour.
"Driver, this is not the way to the city." Qin Ze said casually. "You took the wrong turn at the junction."
The driver was also an old fox. He replied without changing his expression. "The road is blocked at this time, and I took a detour. But it's faster."
This was the first time Qin Ze came to Taiwan, and he could feel the malice.
These days, Hong Kong and Taiwan were treating Chinese tourists as fat pigs. They were fighting to rip them off. If not, they would be embarrassed to tell others. It was better to travel alone, but traveling with a group was a trap.
The taxi stopped in front of the hotel, and Qin Ze paid the fare and alighted with his sister. Feng Yu silently called the taxi company to complain and told the customer service the driver's number and name.
As for whether it would be effective or not, that was another story, but it was better than doing nothing.
"How much did you get ripped off?" His sister, who had been silent all the way, asked with a smile.
"Not much." Qin Ze shrugged his shoulders.
"Some people say that traveling is going from a place that you are tired of to a place that others are tired of." Qin Baobao tirelessly taught her younger brother, "I have a more down-to-earth way of saying it. Traveling is a trade where one is willing to fight and willing to suffer. Wherever you go, you will be cut by a knife. It's like this in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the scenic spots in China are also like this. How many foreign tourists are ripped off by the taxis at the Shanghai airport every year? How can you not be ripped off when you are traveling? It's okay to suffer some losses when traveling, but don't fight with the locals. Otherwise, your losses will become bigger. Didn't you hear about female tourists being beaten up on the internet? "
Qin Bao Bao pretended to be naive in front of her brother. She was actually very smart.
Her sister patted Feng Yu's head. "I am testing Azé and training you. The way you handled the situation just now was very mature. My Azé has grown up. "
"This is the first time I heard someone talk about being lazy in such a refreshing way." Qin Ze slapped his sister's hand away and said. "I was ripped off today, and I will let you get needles tonight."
Qin Bao Bao blinked. She did not get what her brother was talking about.
The two of them checked in. Qin Ze had booked the hotel online. It was not as good as a five-star hotel, but it was better than a chain hotel.
Qin Ze's room was facing his sister's room.
It was 10 am. Qin Bao Bao put down her luggage and knocked on Qin Ze's door. She could not wait to go sightseeing.
Qin Ze was walking along a commercial street in Taipei. There were half-new houses on both sides of the street, and there were some messy neon signs. It felt like a 90s Hong Kong movie.
Taiwan was the same as Hong Kong. There was a limited number of prosperous areas, and most of the places could not keep up with the times. It was hard to escape the fate of decline.
"When we were in primary school, our teacher told us that Taiwan is a good place. Taiwan is a treasure island, and there are treasures everywhere. "Qin Ze sighed." Now, Taiwan's glory is a thing of the past. "
In the past, the Chinese had tried their best to sneak over to Hong Kong. Back then, Taiwan was like a bright firework. China saw its brilliance, Japan saw its brilliance, and even the United States saw its brilliance.
In the 60s and 70s, those who were lucky enough to visit Taiwan would come back and say: "Damn, it's so rich."
"Bao Bao." Qin Bao Bao pouted. She did not have a good impression of Taiwan.
"Bao Bao, be a good girl. I will buy sweets for Bao Bao later." Qin Ze sent a smiling emoji.
"Damn, that's disgusting. Who are you to call Bao Bao? Call me sister." Qin Bao Bao got goosebumps.
"Come, sister. Hold my arm."
"No! Hmph!"
Although Qin Baobao was wearing sunglasses, her tall and sexy figure, as well as her half-exposed face, attracted the attention of many passersby.
Qin Ze pulled the hem of his sister's sweater to cover her full buttocks.
"What are you doing?" Qin Bao Bao was shocked.
Little Brother is actually so bold as to make a move in broad daylight.
Qin Ze could not say "I don't like people staring at me." So, he said. "Your shirt is wrinkled."
"Really?" Qin Bao Bao was doubtful.
Taipei was a famous city in TV dramas and novels. Qin Ze had always wanted to go there. Now that he had arrived at this place, there was a kind of disappointment that said, "Hearing about you is not as good as hearing about you."
As the saying goes, "Don't look at the mountains after returning from the five mountains." This saying also applies to Shanghai.
If you can visit all the cities in Shanghai, you will not be interested in other cities in China.
The former tallest building in China, Taipei 101, was replaced by the Central Building in Shanghai.
So, Qin Ze filtered out the places that were flattering on the internet. They did not want to waste time, so they could only stay in Taipei for one day. After that, they had to go to Kaohsiung and return to Taipei for the Golden Melody Awards.
Presidential Palace, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Yinmingshan Park, Forbidden City, Longshan Temple …
Click, click!
Qin Bao Bao had a DSLR around her neck. She took a few photos wherever she went.
Her hair was flying in the wind, and her smile was like a flower. Walking on the bustling street, she was like a beautiful scenery.
"My dear son, help me take a few photos." Qin Bao Bao looked back and smiled. Qin Ze was so angry that he wanted to hit her.
His elder sister liked to talk nonsense and took advantage of him and his mother in all kinds of ways.
Qin Ze took a few photos with the DSLR. But his photography skills were really rubbish. His sister was not satisfied. She punched his chest and said, "What's the use of having you?"
Qin Ze was helpless. Ordinary people could not play with a DSLR.
They played for half a day and visited the Memorial Hall, Presidential Palace, Forbidden City, Yinmingshan Park, Longshan Temple, and finally arrived at Ximenting. This was the most famous shopping district in Taipei's western district.
Wang Zijin asked Qin Bao Bao to help her buy some things back. She did not have a specific target. She just wanted to buy something.
Although it was an important shopping district, there were less people than any shopping mall in Shanghai at this time. Qin Ze was speechless. He told his sister that they should go back to Shanghai to buy some things for Sister Ziwei. What good things could there be?
"There are still good things. You can just follow me." Qin Bao Bao held her brother's hand and pulled him around.
"It's not the peak season. There are so few tourists from the mainland," his sister said.
"It has nothing to do with the peak season. Recently, there are conflicts between the two sides. Tourists don't like to come …" Qin Ze said. "Forget it. Let's not talk about this."
If it was not for the Golden Melody Awards, he would not like to come.
Qin Ze took his sister to eat and play. They tasted all kinds of local delicacies. Qin Bao Bao bought a few clothes and a few small accessories. She also bought Qin Ze a Doraemon phone pendant.
"What's wrong with your brain? Our phones don't have pendants, "Qin Ze said.
His sister playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "Oh, I forgot."
The next stop was Taipei 101. His sister was looking forward to this once the tallest building in China. Moreover, there were many luxury stores. When a woman's desire to spend came up, she did not care about patriotism.
Near the 101 building, there was a young woman in formal clothes. She was holding a microphone. Behind her was a cameraman. She stopped people and asked, "Are you a tourist from the mainland?"
Most people waved their hands and shook their heads. A few tourists from the mainland were stopped. They looked unwilling to cooperate. They said a few simple words and left in a hurry.
The young woman stood outside the 101 building. She looked around and was stunned by the "scenery" of Qin Bao Bao and her brother. The man was so handsome. The woman had a great figure.
She called the cameraman to welcome them. She stopped Qin Ze and asked, "Are you a couple from the mainland who came to Taiwan for a vacation?"
"Yes." Qin Ze answered subconsciously. His sister gently kicked his calf.
