Day2. Badouzi - Jiufen Old Street
Jiufen Old Street (Spirited Away Street Prototype)
I got up at 8:30 am and dawdled until noon without knowing it. I finally arrived at Taipei Main Station at 1:00 pm, and today I plan to go to Pingxi Railway Station.
Taking the train in Taipei was too ignorant, and I couldn't find a clue without asking the staff.
The 1:10 car needs to buy a train ticket and has a fixed seat. In order to save trouble, we took the 1:26 bus, and we can get on the bus by swiping the Easy Card directly, and the seats are random. You can swipe the Easy Card at each subsequent station.
Train passing by Taipei Main Station
To go to Pingxi Station, you need to transfer at Ruifang Station. After we arrived at Ruifang Station, we temporarily changed our minds and took the bus at 15:08 to Badouzi.
If you choose the right one, you will see the sea when you get off the bus, which is so beautiful.
Sitting on the reef by the sea, watching the blue water wash over the seaweed on the reef and splash white waves. If you have plenty of time, it would be nice to sit by the sea for a day.
You can choose to take the 802 to Chaojing Park, or you can stroll along the seaside, it is very close, and you can walk for ten minutes. We waited for the car for a while, and walked over without waiting.
Chaojing Park is relatively ordinary, but the sea here is really beautiful.

We sat by the seaside for a while, waiting for the last bus back to Ruifang Station at 6:15. In the evening, the temperature will be a little low, and the air conditioner is also very cold on the train, which makes things worse.
After getting out of Ruifang Station, you can take a bus to Jiufen Old Street or take a taxi. The station is 200 meters east of the train station. There are signs to guide the direction. You can take 788, 825, or 965.
The taxi we took was relatively late, and all the taxis went there, so it was very cheap, 50CNY for one person, and 205CNY for two people normally.
The streets of Jiufen are very short, the food is not as good as the night market, and the souvenirs are not special. It closed one after another at 7:30, and we walked around in a hurry.
Take 965 directly back to Ximending, 71CNY, it took an hour.

Day3. Yangmingshan Bamboo Lake - Cultural University Lover's Slope - Shilin Night Market
yangmingshan
It was noon again, and we took 109 to the Yangmingshan National Park Management Office. This car is so cute, the car is full of dolls, and the weather is so clear and happy when I get on it.
109 bus
Heavy focus:
When you get off the bus, you must ask the staff at the station how to go next. If you study the stop signs and signs by yourself, you will not understand.
Promise me, you must ask where you go, the more you ask, the better, it is really easy to get on the wrong train or get off at the wrong station. We asked the conductor and he was still sitting in a daze, and he was dizzy after going around a lot.
Pull up your spirits and keep an eye on the station you want to get off, and press the bell in advance. Otherwise, the driver will quickly pass the stop you are going to get off, and you don't even know how many stops you have sat on. We almost went straight back to Ximending once!
Our first stop in Yangmingshan: Bamboo Lake
This is the place where calla lilies are picked. If I remember correctly, one flower is 10CNY. There are many kinds of flowers here, and wild flowers are also beautiful. Although there are not many flowers blooming now, the air is already filled with a faint fragrance. Enjoying the shade under the tree and feeling the breeze is pleasant again. (It is recommended to come one or two weeks later)

Be sure to bring your own water, there are very few water sellers, and they are all juice in glasses. Going up, there is a Chulu Xiaozhan that has mineral water, 20CNY a bottle, and the attitude is very bad.

Second stop: Cultural University - Lover's Slope
We really took too many wrong cars and got off too many wrong stops, which led to our expected small oil pit to watch the volcano smoke, go to Dream Lake to see... water, and go to Qingtiangang to see buffaloes but failed to materialize.
Take 260 directly and get off at the station near Lover's Slope, and take a taxi up. In my imagination, sitting in the coffee shop on Lover's Slope, looking at the night view, blowing the wind, and taking a few nice (zb) photos. It was only when I went there that I realized...it was really windy, whistling wind, and foggy. Without further ado, look at the picture!

There are no taxis going back at all, they are all going up, we can only walk down. The navigation took us to a dark and narrow small dirt road. We were trembling and jogged all the way to the station, where we took a bus to Shilin Night Market.
✴✴✴✴✴ Wall Crack recommends Shilin Night Market, which is longer than Ningxia Night Market and has a rich variety of food. It is easy to shower, the rain is not heavy, and the drenching will pass.

Day4. Yongkang Street - Little White House - Red Hair City - Fisherman's Wharf
Yongkang Street is very different from what is said on the Internet. There is really nothing to eat! There were milk tea and ice all the way, so we went there hungry, and finally found a restaurant in Shanghai. It is said that it was recommended by Chen Bolin. The quantity is small, the price is high, and the taste is average, but the service is very attentive.
Fruit *** Ice
I bought souvenirs and souvenirs on Yongkang Street and set off to the Little White House. The route and maps are fine, this place is still very accurate.
The Little White House and Red Hair City are very close, just two steps away. The pass is 80CNY per person. People who are ignorant of history are advised to take pictures directly.
The Little White House was the official residence of the Taxation Department of Tamsui Customs during the Qing Dynasty. In 1862, Huwei Foreign Customs was officially established.

The Red Hair Fortress was first built in 1628 by the Spaniards who occupied northern Taiwan at that time, and later rebuilt by the Dutch in 1644. After 1867, it was leased by the British government for a long time, and it was regarded as the office of the British Consulate. It was not until 1980 that the property rights of Hongmao City were transferred to the Taiwan authorities.
Red Hair City
16 minutes by car to Fisherman's Wharf. I originally wanted to watch the sunset and take pictures, but the sun was hidden in the clouds when it was halfway down, and it was still foggy, there was no glow, no sun, no... photos!
