Taiwan Itinerary At a Glance: Day 7

Last day of the package tour was F&E. We went to the Pacific City Living Mall just diagonally across our hotel.

And found this stall in the food court.

Notice an interesting sign on the 8th floor. Can you spot what is wrong?

We went back to check out from our current hotel, then took a cab to check into our hotel for the next 3 days, Yolai Hotel (友莱大饭店) at Zhongshan district. There was a food street just down the road but the hotel was some 15 minutes walk away from the nearest MRT station (民权西路捷运站). Not very convenient IMO.

We went to the Guanghua Market (光华商场), Taipei's equivalent of Singapore's Sim Lim Square. But it is just a one-storey complex.

Then we took the MRT down to Danshui (淡水), the very end of the MRT line. And we needed to make a bus transfer to reach the Fisherman's Wharf. By the time we reached, it was already dark, although it was only around 6+.

This is the Lover's Bridge (情人桥).

There is a stall selling super big ice cream cone here.

We took a speed cruise back to Danshui Old Street (淡水老街), instead of bus. The journey is only about 10 minutes.

Walk along the street and grabbed some food in the process.

Head back down Wufenpu and also the night market that we missed the previous day (饶河夜市).

Raohe Night Market

And we managed to walk, shop, eat and play at this night market.
