Taiwan Trip @ Day 7 (DIY at Taipei) - Part 8

Day 7 has been designated for free and easy activities. We took MRT (paying for a full-day ride of NT$150) from the Longshan station to the Taipei City Hall station. We paid a short visit to the Taipei Discovery Centre before proceeding to Taiwan’s most popular landmark, the Taipei 101 tower which is currently regarded as the tallest building in the world.

From Taipei 101, we proceeded by MRT again to the Dansui station where we visited the Tamshui pier. There were plenty of stalls and shops selling a great varieties of products and food here and shopping spirit was hardly dampened by the drizzle.
We paid NT$100 for a short boat ride to the Tamshui Fisherman Wharf from the pier. We were so charmed by the view at the wharf which is very different from the rest in Taipei. Take a stroll on the bridge and you will be mesmerized by its romantic environment, an ideal spot for courting couples.

We finally ended our free and easy day at Ximending, famous for its shopping street which is accessible by MRT at the Ximen station. After dinner at the fast food corner (it never taste so good after so many days of having Chinese food for lunch and dinner), we walked back to the Shilin Hotel which was located just nearby.
