After Tiffany has decided upon her roommate, Claire and Blythe's grandma took them to another bedroom on the same corridor. It was a small but cozy bedroom with a double bed, a comfortable armchair and a large window overlooking Taipei's modern skyline.
"Wow! I love this room, thanks so much, grandma!" said Claire.
"I knew you'd like it, as this was your mum's room before she got married!" replied the old lady, smiling, as if lost in nostalgic thoughts.

Suddenly, Blythe glanced at her watch and exclaimed. "Wow! It's 5pm already! If we hurry, we'll be just in time to watch the sun set over Taipei on top of the elephant mountain." On the conclusion of her speech, Blythe told everyone her plan, on which everyone was very keen. Therefore, after having freshened up a bit and had a change of clothes, the group of friends set off again.
It didn't take them very long to trek up the hiking trail of Elephant mountain (or Xiangshan), just in time to view the picturesque scenery of the sun setting over Taipei in the far horizon. They watched in awe as the vibrant hues of red blended with orange, purple and crimson and spread into a clear sky. They were immediately transported into a timeless existence of wonders and dreams.
"OMG! This is sooo pretty!" exclaimed Tiffany as she immediately took out her smartphone for a selfie with Taipei 101 in the background.
"Taipei is so clean and pretty, it's almost like a modern wonderland!" admired Eliza as she also took out her phone to capture the final rays of sunset.
"What I like about Taipei is that I don't get how a modern metropolis can be blended with nature in such perfect harmony," marvelled Jeffrey. "It's not like any city I've ever been to!"
"That's what makes Taipei so unique and charismatic," said Blythe.
