Say Goodbye to our tour~
No more comfortable seat and you need to travel by your own~
Self explore time, is better to have google map with you.

Always prepare the Taiwan MRT map with you. Very important!!!

 Our itinerary for Day 5
Tamsui @ Beitou @ Shilin Night Market

Itirp Taipei Inn did provided the breakfast.
Very simple breakfast~ Not worth it!
Ximen Station

MRT Coming!

Just the same like Singapore MRT~
 From Ximending to Tamsui, you need to take to Taipei Main Station 
and transfer your train to Tamsui line and alight at Tamsui.
Exit the mrt station and turn to your right,
Take Bus Red 27 to Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf Village if you would like to enjoy the old street~
Bad weather again, raining drizzling and strong wind blow~

Here we arrived the lover bridge of Tamsui

I think is better to visit during the night time.
We arrived there about 9.30 or 10am.
Most of the shops still closed and there are nothing to walk around.
So we decided to take a short break at Starbucks and warm up our body~
Starbucks is celebrating their anniversary.

Take the same bus at the same bus stop to travel back to the Tamsui old street.
We roughly stop at one of the station nearby the old street and walk around.
Tamsui Old Street~

Old Railway at Tamsui~
We pass by Long Shan Temple too...

My bf, kelvin said we need to step in by right side and out by left side. He said is according to the tour guide~
We also went inside the wet market and bought fried chicken.
Smell good and taste awesome!
We also took our lunch at one of the restaurant.
Braised pork rice is one of the famous food you should try in Taiwan! Really craving for it!
OMG! The braised pork rice is totally unacceptable for me.
Taste weird and not nice at all.
Unfortunately I didn't taken any photo about the restaurant. Aiya~
I heard there are people who strongly recommend to try "Ah Po Tie Dan"
Yes, we did. I bought two packet for my friend as souvenir.
I did try it before at Jiufen but I dun like it much.
But this Ah Po Tie Dan at Tamsui I not really sure whether is nice or not~
They don't provide any sample to test also....
So don't ask me how it taste liket! Haha XD
