Today, we would be taking the 平溪 railway line. First, we need to take a train from Taipei Main Station to Ruifang and then change to a local train. We bought the one-day train ticket which allow us to hop-on-and -off different stations.
First Stop - Jing Tong (we did not stay long here, just went down the train to take a few photos ^_^)
Second Stop - 平溪
Delicious Taiwan sausage which we had not one but two!!
Nice quaint old town charm.
There are many stamp print collection stations throughout the whole island and I've brought along two little booklets each for the kids to collect their own prints as a keepsake to remember the trip. Happy Stamping!
DY was obesessed this DIY nickle-plated souvenir machine as he would pretend to be driving his car with the moving "sterring wheel"! He would play this machine for at least 10 mins each time he sees it and refused to move away, we had to use all kinds of tricks and baits to lure him away..Hiaz
ZY writing on a 天燈. We chose a four-coloured lantern, WHITE - Wish, GREEN - Health, YELLOW- Career & BLUE - Kids.
My favourite place - 九份. We were very lucky as the infamous rainy town was rain-free the day we were there!!Yey!!!
Tasty yam balls soup, the hot one taste better to us ^_^
Poor MW who suffered from bad stomach last night had to carry the stroller together with a sleeping DY on it for this view..talk about the love of a father! ^_^
ZY's favourite - Taiwan jelly
Our dinner for the day - Mixed balls noodle soup. I loved the BIG one so much that I bought another packet back to Taipei for my supper! ^_^
This red glutinous rice ball on the other hand tasted very bad and no matter how hard I've tried, I can't finished it. -_- Sorry!
Another one of my favourite, Ah Lan's Yam cake which was very fragrant. Too bad I just bought one. The shops at 九份 closes very early during weekdays, next time, we will have to come here earlier.
