Four days in Taiwan - days three & four

On the third day, we woke up before six, not our plan. We took the MRT to Taipei Main Station and changed train to Keelung (基隆). The train stopped at Cidu, which was a few stations before Keelung and we needed to change train again. Not a very good start.

We had breadfast at Starbucks in Keelung and had a glance at this rainy port.

Then we took a bus to the scenic spot, Yehliu (野柳) in Wanli. The bus was old and dilapidated. It reflected the financial condition of this area. The bus had no signs showing which stations on the way. I was so so sleepy and we missed the stop and went all the way to the bus terminus, Jianshan (金山).

We took a bus back and asked the unhelpful driver to tell us to get off at Yehliu (being clever this time :-)). We arrived at Yehliu at last.

A small fishing village

It was raining heavily there. There were already large crowds of 'ducklings'. We entered Yehliu Geopark. The park was famous for its time-eroded rocks and most of all, its landmark - the Queen's Head Rock. We took pictures there quickly.

After walking in the park, we went to buy cattlefish which was the popular sea product there. I bought some dried shrimps for my mom that made her very happy.

We went back to Taipei Central. We grabbed some lunch and then had a walk in this area. It was crowded here because it was the heart of the city. Leaving the crowded city, we were headed to the National Museum. We took the MRT to Shilin (士林) and changed bus to the museum. We had waited for a long time for the bus. By the time we reached the museum, it was four-fifteen. The museum closed at five so we didn't bother going in.



We stayed the last evening at Ximending. We had our last souvenir sorted out there. It was raining so we decided to watch a movie for the rest of the evening. It was a violent movie. I didn't enjoy it so much. That ended our third day trip.

On the fourth day, we woke up at six, took a bus to the airport and flew back to Hong Kong.
