Landed in Taipei Taoyuan Airport just slightly after 12 pm...despite news of typhoon over the last few days, the sun was shining very brightly when i landed. I landed at the old terminal, and it really felt very 70s' in the terminal...
Just after that, i arrived at 淡水漁人碼頭 ( Danshui Fisherman's Wharf) where many Taiwanese stars hold their mini concerts here. This is Lovers' Bridge, one of the attrations at this wharf. I crossed the bridge and also spent some time walking along the shops along the wharf, with free running dogs (it's so dog friendly here, i love it~) and fisherman boats parked along the coast.
I had dinner at 淡水老街 ( Danshui Old Street). This was the first of MANY night markets i would be going to. Anyway, more on food in later posts... this place was brimming with people and it was cold and breezy, really pleasant for a walk.
It got dark after i walked for a while. It turned dark at approximately 5.30 pm.... after all, it's coming into autumn season now, and the days are getting shorter. This glorious mountain is the backdrop of the Danshui Waterfront.
We headed to the hotel for an early night. The hotel we stayed in was small, but it was nice. It had wooden floorings, but the most curious part was that the bathroom was of equal size with the bedroom. That's cos it's a 'Rejuvenating' hotel, and it came with chinese herbs for us to soak in.
Here we go, the bath room came with a jacuzzi where i had to throw my Chinese herbal bags into it, and soaked myself in it. The whole bathroom ended up smelling like a Chinese apothecary...haha... Just beside it is a sauna cum shower. The sauna lasted 3 minutes, and i could sit inside up to 15 minutes.
