After a good breakfast at Hong Ying B&B we have to bade farewell to Taroko and Hong Ying B&B for a wonderful and memorable stay. |
The weather was excellent in the morning with bright blue sky as we rode to Xincheng Station to catch a train to Taipei. |
A big handicraft work suspended at the ceiling of the station which looks very tribal. |
Taiwan Railways Administration has been very adamant with their ruling on bike bagging. This is found at the station. |
Slowly we moved our stuffs to the platform and waited for the train to Taipei. This will be our final leg of the round island tour after 18 days of adventure. |
Taroko Bridge 太魯閣大橋 (GPS : 24.145313, 121.644148) at the highway Route 9 as seen from our moving train. |
By the way the fare to Taipei is NTD391 and the longest distance taken on train so far for this tour. It is about 150km to Songshan 松山. |
Yes we decided to disembark at Songshan Station 松山站 at the last minute so that we can explore the places before we reach Ximending. |
Just a short distance away from the eating stall we were at the evacuation opening at the river side with a welcoming sign "Rainbow Bridge". |
Our photography session began....... as the scenery started to get awesome and interesting. The Rainbow Bridge and the Love sign. |
Raohe Street Night Market 饒河街觀光夜市 is found near the river side. The yellow bridge is Huandong Boulevard crossing over Keelung River. |
The park and bicycle path on a Wednesday was rather relax as we enjoyed the ride and the weather. |
It seems that the whole bicycle path has been taken over by these Brommies from Malaysia. |
Viewing from Yingfeng Riverside Park 迎風河濱公園 (GPS : 25.075371, 121.547157) to Minshui 明水 development. |
We were back to the wharf where we first started our journey at Dadaocheng Dock 大稻埕碼頭. |
We were happy seeing familiar places again and just like feeling at home again in Taipei. |
Our dinner at at five footway for a nice and yummy spaghetti. |
I had a feeling youthful again as I was surrounded with this Taipei youth's culture. |
We were glad to be invited to join this fast riding Birdies and thank you so much Taiwan Birdies especially Pei Hsuan and Ou Yi-min. |
Coincidentally it's a Wednesday Night ride and we were following them for a taste of Taiwan Tong Sui. |
I met this young man of the same surname with mine Sim, 沈韋良. |
They were so fast and we were tailing far behind them, fortunately we have Pei Hsuan taking care of us. |
Finally we arrived at the destination and I could smell food again. |
At the serving counter, my first impression was the Tangyuan is a Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour prepared during Winter Solstice when I saw the coloured balls. Let's try it guys! |
The different types of the Tong Sui at the shop and we had it all. Once again thank you so much for the delicious treat to our Taipei buddies 爱你! 爱你! |
The shop at 第一家冰品湯圓 (No.1 House) at Section 2, Zhonghua Road, Wanhua District GPS : 25.024777, 121.509420 |
A picture with the Tongsui brothers and I "tapao" for Jo. I heard they are also fast riding cyclists. Bravo! |
The loop we took with the Taiwanese Bridies in the evening for Tong Sui. |
