Taiwan Day 6: JiuFen & ShiFen

Both of us had been here on our previous trip to Taipei.
This time, we tried a different routes. We came by public transport.
Actually it was not difficult. From Taipei, board a bus at Shong shan station. The bus will take you directly to Jiu Fen.
It's very cold up here.
With the drizzle.
Warm up ourselves with the famous QQ drink.
After walking the whole streets of Jiu Fen, we stop by a shop to reward ourselves with lunch.
Braised pork rice, braised noodle, braised eggs and fish balls.
We then catch the bus to Rui Fang train station to take a train to Shi Fen.
To catch the bus, when you come out from the Jiu Fen entrance, turn to your right side and walk up. The bus station heading to train station will stop there. If unsure, can ask the people in 7-11. Lol. That's what we did :)
This is Shi Fen, made famous by a movie.
The tourist attraction was this street beside the railway lane.
Lanterns are sell throughout the street.
Many people bought the lantern, put up their wishes and release it to the atmosphere.
We didn't do that, as I'm concerned on where will the lantern falls and will it trap the birds. And is it pollution-free? Well.. I'm not sure, so I'd choose not to.

To head back to Taipei, we board the train from Shi Fen, stop at Rui Fang and change train to Taipei.
