DAY1, April 7, 2017: Seeing Ximending for the first time
□□ EVA Air BR751 Shanghai Pudong International Airport (T2) 16:39—Taipei Taoyuan Airport (T1) 17:57 (round-trip fare: 2152 yuan/person).
□□I choose to stay at Taipei View Hotel (No. 77, Section 1, Huanhe South Road) (double bed: 1918 yuan/four nights). It is located in the Ximending business district of Taipei City, Taiwan, and it is only one MRT stop away from Taipei Main Station, so it is more convenient to travel.
Ximending, located in the northeast of Wanhua District, Taipei City, Taiwan Province, is the most important consumer business district in the West District of Taipei City. It developed during the Japanese occupation period in the early 20th century, and it is still a business district that young people love to go to today.
April 8, 2017 DAY2: Life on the streets of Taipei
□□When you come to Taiwan, it is recommended to buy a local Easy Card, which can be recharged in almost all convenience stores, which is quite convenient. Wandering on the streets of Taipei, there are many arcade buildings on both sides of the road. Climb the Xiangshan trail and overlook the Taipei 101 building. Wander around the Ningxia night market and be a happy snack.
□□Ningxia Night Market is located in the section from Minsheng West Road to Nanjing West Road in Taipei, Taiwan. It is one of the few night markets in Taipei where vendors are concentrated in the middle of the road. It is said that it is the favorite place for locals. Other night markets are mostly tourists. I naturally choose Ningxia Night Market up.
DAY3 on April 9, 2017: Nostalgia, Art and New Northbound
□□ Houdong, Shifen Old Street and other scenic spots are located in Pingxi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan Province. Take the Taiwan Railway from Taipei Station to Ruifang Station and transfer to the Pingxi Branch Line.
□□Houtong, also known as Houtong Cat Village. As the name suggests, it is a place where many cats live, and you can find cat footprints everywhere on Baimao Street. It is a must-go place for cat lovers.
□□ Shifen Station and Shifen Old Street are the most famous, attracting many tourists to linger here. Its old street is close to the railway, and small trains run through the old street, making it a holy place for nostalgic railway fans. Its sky lantern culture also attracts men and women from all over the world to come here to make wishes and ask for blessings.
□□Finally, I went to Jiufen Old Street (Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan Province). It still retains the old buildings of the Japanese colonial era. This is the most lively Jishan Street. The streets of "Looking for", the movie "City of Sadness", and "Jiufen's Coffee Shop" by Taiwanese singer Cheer Chen were all born out of Jiufen. Eating a bowl of taro balls is a must when you come to Jiufen.
DAY4, April 10, 2017: Danshui Fisherman's Wharf
□□Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf is located in Tamsui Town, Taipei City, Taiwan Province. Take the MRT Red Line (Xindian-Damsui Line) to Tamsui MRT Station and transfer to Bus No. 26 or 836.
□□Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf used to be just a traditional small fishing port, but now, "Danjiang Sunset" is famous far and wide. Fisherman's Wharf after dusk, wooden plank road by the sea, Lover's Bridge, sweet couple... Fisherman's Wharf is most famous for its pale pink pedestrian cross-sea bridge, which stands like a white sail in the Fisherman's Wharf. above the pier. At dusk, there are crowds of people on the Lover's Bridge, and watching the sunset slowly fall from the sea level makes people linger; at night, the lights of the Lover's Bridge are constantly changing, making the romantic atmosphere more prominent.
□□During the sunset and sunset at dusk, it is also the best time for photography lovers to shoot. It can be said that every piece can become a blockbuster taste.

□□The Grand Hotel (Elite Deluxe Twin Room: 1328 yuan/night), located at No. 1, Section 4, Zhongshan North Road, Taipei City, Taiwan Province, is one of the landmark buildings in Taipei, known to everyone , it was once known as "one of the top ten hotels in the world".

□□After the check-in procedure, I open the door of the room. Coffee and beige tones are matched with mahogany furniture to present a noble and elegant retro design style. Standing on the spacious balcony outside the guest room, or looking into the distance, Taipei 101, another landmark building, echoes it in the distance, and the scenery is very good; "It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar" and "WELCOME" recorded in "Xue Er Pian" in Chinese and English characters, giving people the feeling of being at home.
