Taiwan.. ~ Day 9

The hot spring areas in Taipei can be found in Yangmingshan, Beitou, and Wulai. Itching for a hot spring bath, we came to Beitou in the morning. A natural hot spring quarry there is Hell’s Valley

Experienced the public hot spring pool at Beitou. Filled with obba-sans and ojii-sans!!! quite scary for us first-timers there. haha! obba-san and ojii-san go hot spring about twice a week for a healthier body, better blood circulation and better skin. They are all of grandpa and grandma ages but their skin is soooo nice. :)

so many oba-sangs

spent the afternoon at Danshui and Fisherman's Wharf . One interesting place Unusual Things Museum, where many exhibits are unusual and sometimes scary as well. Of cos, the Danshui Old Street is famed for its many good food also.

brr.. it’s cold Took a ferry from Danshui old street to Fisherman Wharf. the lights of the iconic bridge at 渔人码头 is ever changing, and makes a romantic place for couples to have a nice seafood dinner and a stroll.

It started to drizzle a little and coupled with the strong winds, we had to scramble for our winter clothing.. out comes the gloves and thick jackets! brr… and if i say it's cold, it’s really very very cold!!!
