Taiwan - Day 6 Part 1: Keelung, Jiufen

A long trip awaits us today.  The big part of the journey was out of Taipei town, a bus ride to Keelung county, which includes places like Jiufen.

The bus ride was about an hour which one can catch either a snoozer on the way or be just like, staying awake and snapping what I can catch along the way.  To board this bus, you'll need to go to the East West bus station operated by Kuo-Kuang Bus company.

This town is actually built along hills so the facade of the hill already revealed quite a handful of buildings of various colours.  Being a more remote area in higher land, the weather is cooler here and we have to keep walking along the pavement, as bus moves on a single lane route both ways.

Inside Jiufen, the place is filled with shops selling souvenirs from food to handicrafts, as well as dining in places.  And it was such coincidence to meet a friend in there too!

Time for lunch before we move on.
