Gisele S.: Taipei, Day 7

Where are we going today...

We are going to 九份 today.

Took train to the nearest train station and took a cab up, shared the cab with a Japanese girl who can speak Mandarin really well. =)

It felt a bit like Genting as it's on top of the mountain so it kept turning and turning non stop. Along the way i saw so much pretty sight.

Finally we have reached!! Saw this 3 wheeled vehicle, look kinda weird. Haha..

九份古街

What a pretty view

This place is a famous tourist attraction but we got no interest at all. Less then 20minutes we wanted to leave already. Haha..

Hello!!

Pretty house

Just before we wanted to leave it started to rain. It kept raining and stopping and raining, super annoying but what to do. When you are high off the land the chances of raining is so "high" too..

Cos we wanted to head to 黄金瀑布 so i suggested we buy the cheap raincoat from the store along the road, cost around S$1+ each.

After we bought it and head to the bus stop for the bus, less then 20minutes the rain stopped. I was so pissed. Haha..

Here we are at 黄金瀑布

I always like waterfall, mountains etc. But this waterfall is kinda disappointing.. Wahaha..

The mountains look so pretty, the doggy is so cute. =)

Took another bus to 金瓜石!

This is a place where Japanese used to live in the past.

The overhead bridge is actually part of a Primary school, the kids who walk through it kept waving at us and hubby waved back at them. Haha

A lot of his photo cos mine is taken so badly.. =(

It's getting late so we left and head to 野柳

What a pretty river! =D

We are here!! We took a bus here and alighted at quite a long distance away from the entrance here, but the weather was good and by the sea so it was quite a nice walk with hubby. =)

The current was very strong due to the strong wind and tyhoon in Taiwan. I find it fascinating but someone find it scary and wants to stay away from the shore while others all busy taking video of the tide. =S

The place was closed by the time we reached as the ticket office closed at 5pm and so we stayed at the gate area for quite a while as we saw people climbing on top of the wall and making their way in the back gate so i was thinking if we can go in too. I mean we came all the way here and can't go in i will be very disappointed.

We waited and waited and the group managed to go in then suddenly a big truck came with a few uncles with fishing rods and seems like they have the keys to go in so we waited and see if they can open the gate and they did! After they opened it a lot of others visitors all dash in as well then suddenly the security guard appeared and wanted to stop us and started scolding and shouting "who open the gate!!". We sneaked pass him when he ran past us to close the gate and stop the big group from coming in.

We just kept running, haha..

At one point i thought i was chased by a pack of dogs cos they are all running towards me and barking non stop, they look fierce! Then i start running slowly and squirming then i realise they are chasing another dog. I'm bursting with cold sweat man.. How could there be dogs who will attack me? I'm every dog's favorite person ler! Haha..

This was took before the sky turn dark.

After the last shot we left immediately cos it's almost pitch black in there, there's no lights at all!! So scary. Imagine, with the pack of fierce dogs and the strong tide and wind plus no light..
