So we left Jiufen (九份) at around 1:00 p.m. after we bought some souvenirs from Jiufen Old Street (九份老街). We took the same public bus to the Ruifang (瑞芳) train station and the same way back to Taipei (臺北) but alighted at Taipei Railway Station (台北火車站) instead of Wanhua Station (萬華車站).
We then walked to Taipei Main Station (by the Taipei Metro) to get to Ximending (西門町) by MRT. But before we left, we rent a luggage locker to store our luggage and souvenirs. The prices are quite reasonable in my opinion which are NT$20/3Hrs and NT$50/3Hrs for small and big compartment relatively.
So here we are at Ximending (西門町) again. This time we went there more for food hunting plus some minor shopping.
When you are there, don't forget to try their "not to be missed" Ah Zong Mian Xian (阿宗麵線) or Mee Sua.
We left Ximending (西門町) at around 5:45 p.m. to Jiannan Station (劍南). That's where our next hotel located. On the way there, we stopped by Taipei Main Station to collect our luggage.
This was the rush hour time when we were taking the MRT.
By the way, we stayed at Wego Boutique Hotel. It's a very nice hotel with lots of different room designs with different themes.
Such design even inside the elevator.
After checked in, we went to Shilin Night Market (士林夜市) for some snacks. This time we didn't really enjoy much probably this was the last night market that we visited and most of the street foods were tried in the previous night markets. Or probably this was the last night here that we felt quite exhausted.
In the next morning, we visited the Miramar Entertainment Park (美麗華百樂園) which is located across the street from our hotel. It is a shopping mall with department store and also an IMAX theatre. On top of that, on the roof of Miramar Entertainment Park is a 70 metre tall Ferris wheel, second tallest in Taiwan which makes this building unique.
So here's the end of my Taiwan trip. Hope you find this is informative enough and most importantly that you enjoyed the photos ! By the way, I'll be travelling to Taiwan again next year sometime in Spring. So stay tune :D
