Lunchtime and here we are to tuck into local delights. A meatball soup and noodles were ordered. Though the noodles may look bland, the way to eat them was to mix them as the ingredients such as seasoning, fried onions are right at the bottom.
A variation of the dessert we had in Shilin Night Market was also available here.
Next stop, Jinguashi which is just a bus ride away. We caught the bus in time as we popped by 7-11 to get some provisions.
This was previously a mining place hence there are some exhibitions of history and much of the town is preserved. It was previously occupied by Japanese hence the town retains a flavour of the Japanese architecture.
There is a Japanese house (
四連棟) which served as residence of the upper management of the mine. Considering the age and space constrain, we were told by the guide that only a small group of people can be allowed into the house at one time, as much restoration and preservation work had been done to keep original things in place. The tour was pretty quick; in less than 10minutes, we are done and out of the house.
Due to preservation regulations, we could only walk past these exhibited places hence the best we could do was snapping pictures along the way as we walk through fixed pathways.
Here's a view from the exit:
Soon, it was time to head back Taipei for dinner. The sun sets with a beautiful light over the mountains.
