Same as previous day, wake up got prepared and had breakfast at the hotel cafe. Thereafter, we proceed with our plan - Hot Spring. We took a train from Ximending station to Xinbeitou station. To Xinbeitou, we got to change to another train at Beitou station.

Reached Xinbeitou station, we approached the information counter which is located in the station itself. We asked the girl at the counter to give us some recommendation, and she pass us a brochure featuring those better Hot Spring hotel or resort.

After flipping through the brochure, we decided to choose - Spring City Resort. We went to the side of the station to wait for the shutter bus. Again, we waited for about an hour and the bus din come. We tried call up the resort, the person answer said the bus has came back to the resort and also did pick up some visitors. Instead of waiting for the next bus, we took a cab that cost us only NT$70.

We were introduce with a few package by the staff, as we don't know much about Hot Spring we choose one package which cost us NT$2,500 for 2 hours.

After the Hot Spring, the resort shutter bus sent us to Beitou station. From there, we travel down to Danshui station. Our next destination is Danshui Old Street and Fishermen's Wharf.

Once you step out of the train station, you will see 2 donut brand - Mister Donut and Dunkin' Donut facing each other. Taiwanese really like donuts???

Danshui Old Street is worth going even its located at the far end (the last station of the MRT route). You can find lot of foods to eat, things to shop and things to see, a nice place not to be miss.

This is one of the highly recommended must try food at Danshui Old Street. For fishball lovers, the fishball itself contain little pock mince. The dumpling is yummy too. There is also other food like the well known A-Po "iron eggs", we don't like so we din try.

You can find a few store selling this ice-cream. They come in 2 size, we ordered the taller one. How tall the ice-cream can go is depend on the whether the ice-cream is hard enough. If the ice-cream achieve the hardness, the seller also can't sell you. In the end we din finish the whole ice-cream, cos the rate its melting is too fast.

The sun is setting, people just sit by the shore chatting and relaxing.

Bought the ferry ticket to Fishermen's Wharf. Can't remember the price for the ticket, but for sure it not expensive.

Reached the Fishermen's Wharf, behind us is the "Lover's Bridge".

Fishermen's Wharf is full of people and active. There are cafe for you to chill and restaurant for you to fill your stomach. There is also a boat ride around Fishermen's Wharf, but dunno how much it cost.

The "Lover's Bridge" with the beautiful sky in the background. Can you see the bridge is full of people, they are there to enjoy seeing the sunset.

Spot two planes flying across the blue sky, one of them leaving behind a trail of smoke.

The night has come, the "Lover's Bridge" was lighted up another kind of look.

::The view of the sunset::

After leaving Danshui, we reached Jiantan station to wait for the shutter bus to Miramar Entertainment Park. This time round we got onto the shutter bus, but its damn crowded. The bus driver told us the last bus is at 10.30pm. Miramar Ferris Wheel is sit on the rooftop of the entertainment park. Miramar Ferris Wheel is the second largest wheel in diameter in Taiwan.

The ride cost NT$200 per person.

Look at the queue, its damn long. Its look like a snake, turn here and there. As we are in the queue, we are so worry that we are not able to catch the last shutter bus back to Jiantan.

Can't remember how long it take to complete one round, should be about 15 mins. Actually view from the top is not that fantastic, as there is nothing much to see. The Taipei 101 is so far away and can't really see it.
