Day 7, the journey has almost reach the end. Last day to walk around. For this day, we have planned to go to 阳明山 yang ming san to see the 海芋 flower as it is the season by that time. From xi men ding, we use mrt to 劍潭站 jian tan station, then from there use bus 红5 to go up to yang ming san. Everything was smooth around here but after reaching yang ming san we are a bit lost because yang ming san is too big. I suggest if you wanna go there must book a taxi or else will be wasting a lot of time like us. Waiting for bus and walking for a long time without much direction. Somemore it's raining that time. Luckily we brought umbrella along. Taking photos along the way to make us less tired.
So, don't know after how long of walking we finally reached.
This is it! Our hard walk paid off. It's really beautiful.
After taking enough photos, we just had our lunch at the restaurant beside and it started to rain heavily outside.
After having our lunch, we went to the bus stop outside to wait for bus to go down to mrt station. Then will head to 淡水 dan shui.
We rented bicycle again to ride to 渔人码头 yu ren ma tou. It was around 10km and took us may be around 45 mins to 1 hr one way. So was total of 20km. Because i was wearing dress, we rented a two person bicycle so i just sit behind and take photos while my friend lead the ride. I ride a bit when the wind wasn't so strong, if not it will blow up my dress.
Taking photo half way along the road
The statue at Dan shui
We passed thru different kind of road
Finally arrived
So near yet so far to the 情人桥 couple bridge, we can see it from our eyes already. We just take photo here and then go back as we are scared that bicycle can't go in. We got chased out of a area where bicycle are not allowed because we didn't know that it wasn't allowed, we didn't saw the signboard when on the way to here. So got a bit scared when coming here wonder whether bicycle can go in. In the end we decided not to do so, there's not much special view here also with the cloudy sky, if is the nice sunset I think we will definitely go in no matter how.
After resting a while, we ride back. 10 km to go.
We were attracted by the cute donuts and went in to buy.
They are packed in cute packaging too. That's my panda 悠悠卡 which I lost my 1st one somewhere and got this cute one from 7-11.
These are the ones we bought.
Leaving Dan shui, we go to 士林夜市 shi lin night market to meet my friend's cousin who was studying in Taiwan. So she brought us around the night market and introduce us the food that is nice there.
First, she brought us to the underground part of the night market and try this. Is called 官财板 guan cai ban in Chinese. Is like thick toast and inside got fillings of chicken with some sauce. Kinda tasty.
we just walk 1 round inside and went up outside as it was quite hot inside due to the number of people and bad air circulation inside. There's a lot of food in a not so big space there and it's really crowded.
Walking outside is much nicer but it's still crowded. I can say this night market is the most crowded one we went in this trip as it is the most popular among tourist and also students I guess. Everyone was like if you go Taiwan, this is a must go night market. I don't know why but I don't really like it there. Maybe too crowded for me. Haha.
After finish eating at shi lin night market, we also went to 师大夜市 shi da night market which is more popular which students as there is a university nearby. We didn't take any photo there as there's not much things and we are tired already.
So, after that we just went back to our homestay and prepare to pack our stuff to go back the next day.
