The Hanzhong street at Xi men ti look so crowded in the night but looks so empty in the morning. I hardly can recognize if I have not remember the shops… hahaa
We took a one day tour and was brought around to have a look at Taipei to see some buildings and learn some history about Taiwan during the world war 2.We were brought witness some change over shift of their forces between 9 to 9:30am.Then we went up to mountain 九份. A street of old shop houses along the mountain cliff.
Saw my name up on the mountain doing some cats and dogs business.
Is amazing seeing how the building is built 20 or 30 years back on the mountain. The structures are mainly made from red bricks, which still last so long. Amazing.
The in the night I went to some hot spring bath that smell a bit like rotten eggs hahaa… then to shilin night market @ Jiantan station for some food and shopping.
Have noted that they have many various type of food that will amazed us too . Bubble tea they call it the “frogs lay eggs ”drink and some cuisine like “coffin bread”.
Day 3
Day 3
While waiting for our Host Meya , I have took some pictures of the train station and the way of the life style of Taiwanese.
They are using the token for accessing their Metro train. We went to the XinDian station and took some picture of a bridge which looks very old but hear from my friend saying the bridge is being re-enforce by metal brackets to prevent a falling bridge.
We took a bus to Wulai.
At Wulai , we borrow bicycles to see the waterfall and some hot spring, and you can just play around the river and the hot spring is just there. I am amazed to see that in a river which have two temperature in there.
There are small trams on the mountain too. Up on these mountain live the tribute villagers which is rare found in Taiwan anymore as the population decrease over the years.
Is a long way up , but I think is worth the effort to go up to see these people and scenery.
Then in the evening, went to some old wet market to see what the local people are doing in the urban area. While taking pictures, I was mistaken as some photographer who take photos for the magazines and they all try to look good for me to take a picture of them.
At ard 7 pm, we meet a group of happy people and we have dinner together in the main city of Taipei, is a great pleasure to know the local people.
