On a recent Sunday noon,my friends and I went to Taoyuan Avignon Vegetarian
restaurant after receiving owner's phone invitation around one week ago.
We had a lovely lunch here and would like to share this wonderful dining experience.
By the way,Taoyuan is home to some of travel hot spots like Cihu Memorial Sculpture Park,
Shimen Reservoir,Taoyuan Zhongzheng Arts and Cultural Business District
and shopping District in front of the Taoyuan Train Station.
Maybe you could arrange an one day tour of Taoyuan and don't forget to try Avignon.
