This is an empty paragraph.

If you are traveling to Taiwan,

Then, find a romantic place to go on a sweet date with your lover.

We highly recommend this place, a port city with a semi-European atmosphere.

An unplanned trip with just the two of us.

We both remain in Taiwan, but we will take everyone

Explore romantic locations with a European ambiance.

Let's take everyone to TAMSUI (Tamsui) together!!!!

---

We are still on the plan for Taiwan, 5 days and 4 nights.

Previously, we took everyone to explore and conquer

• Alishan

- Sun Moon Lake

• Cat Village (Hou Tong)

• Jiufen

• Mao Kong

We parted ways after we got off the cable car at Maekong.

We immediately headed straight to Tamsui.

In this seaside town,

I would like all my friends to see the atmosphere.

A truly romantic setting, reminiscent of Europe.

TAM SUI - Tamsui

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

A port city located near the northernmost tip of Taiwan.

It is a place with a very romantic atmosphere.

You can conveniently travel by taking the MRT to the end of the Red Line.

**Note:** The MRT Red Line has two terminal stations.

1. TAMSUI - Tamsui Station at R28

2. XIN BEI TOU - Xinbei Tou Station at R22a

If you realize you are on the wrong line,

Jumping between moving vehicles is not allowed!

You can get off at BEI TOU - เป่ยโถว Station R22 and wait for the train to TAMSUI.

For those who have planned to travel to Taiwan,

Tansu is not included in the tour schedule.

If you have time, we recommend trying it at least once.

You will fall in love with this city just like us.^^

Besides the iconic Lovers' Bridge, a landmark of the city,

Despite being a bustling port city, Tan Suai still offers picturesque scenery for capturing stunning photos.

The impressive atmosphere is indistinguishable from that of a European photoshoot.

If you have the opportunity to spend time in Tamsui until the evening,

Don't miss the breathtaking sunset at the harbor.

Although it is something that can be found everywhere or in every place.

However, at TAMSUI, you will undoubtedly experience the atmosphere and warmth that exists there.

As we rode the MRT to Tamsui Station,

We headed straight for the street that is said to be the most crowded.

What we have both witnessed aligns perfectly with the rumors.

If you have the opportunity to stroll through various locations in Taiwan,

Taipei, Jiufen, or Sun Moon Lake

Each city has its own unique characteristics.

Both the built environment and the lifestyles of the people

The journey to Tan Sui offers unique and captivating sights throughout.

The shops lining both sides of the city street.

From familiar brands to street food, there are also cute souvenir shops like this one we stopped by. The whole shop is designed to please Hello Kitty fans, as the atmosphere is filled with nothing but Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty, and more Hello Kitty!

Even among the top souvenirs from Taiwan, such as

"Pineapple pie"

Still a kitty!!!

After a period of drifting aimlessly.

As the sun began its descent, casting long shadows across the land, we found ourselves famished after our arduous trek up Mount Maokong. With rumbling stomachs and a yearning for sustenance, we made a beeline for Tamsui Street Food, a culinary haven renowned for its abundance of delectable offerings.

While walking from the station to the Street Food, we came across beautiful murals and took a few pictures.

(Hurry up! The sun will set soon.)

But Wednesday to Wednesday.

Not open yet!

With many restaurants still not fully operational, we, the two famished souls, decided to dive into the first eatery that seemed welcoming.

I came across this restaurant in a small alleyway that connects to the seaside promenade.

The way this restaurant sells food is incredibly simple.

All dishes are 40 TWD each, including:

1. Stir-fried noodles

2. Stir-fried noodles (thinner than the first plate)

3. Tofu with mixed ingredients (I think = =)

4. Giant meatballs

5. Clear Fish Ball Soup

This is an empty paragraph.

Another menu item is the sale of 1/2 kg of meatballs for 120 TWD.

This shop operates on a pay-as-you-go basis.

To avoid standing and eating, it's best to secure a seat before ordering. Otherwise, you might have to hold your plate and eat standing up. 5555+

We, the two hungry souls, ordered everything.

Four plates!

This dish is stir-fried noodles, similar in taste to our Pad See Ew.

This dish consists solely of noodles, with no vegetables whatsoever. It is topped with a small amount of minced pork.

Clear fish ball soup

My favorite menu, please, Mr. Pork Admin.

The broth is light and flavorful, with a subtle sweetness. It is not heavily seasoned, making it ideal for those who enjoy the pure taste of the soup.

This tofu dish with various toppings

Simmered tofu in red sauce.

The water tasted strangely like sukiyaki dipping sauce, and it was stuffed with glass noodles.

Make this nugget look like a compressed sukiyaki.

The final dish was a giant meatball.

The inside is filled with a minced pork-like filling.

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

While the generous amount of flour might deter some meatball purists, the hunger pangs proved too strong to resist. All four dishes get a passing grade!

What a pity!

Along the bustling streets of Tamsui, numerous vendors display a peculiar delicacy resembling a giant cake.

The sale was the size of a 1-pound loaf of bread.

At that time, our internal state was not ready to receive anything.

Should I walk in and ask?

"Excuse me, are you full? Can I buy some of your food? Just a small portion, about the size of my palm."

Not bold enough, so I just walked around, sniffed, and left.

If any of my friends know what it is or what it tastes like, please share it with me, T^T

After a satisfying meal,

It's time to head to Lover's Bridge.

Traveling in Taiwan is indeed very convenient.

With Google Maps downloaded, you'll have access to comprehensive travel instructions, including bus and train routes, to reach your destination.

The atmosphere on Taiwanese buses

We have arrived at the port.

The atmosphere feels just like Europe, doesn't it?

The piglet is starting to get a little sleepy.

To energize them, we decided to take some photos.

(It's natural for women, gentlemen. Just seeing the lens open, they're always ready to adjust their faces.)

Look, you were still sleepy just now.

This is hilarious! 😂

This is an empty paragraph.

On the way to the end of the bridge.

We came across this bell.

(This reminds me of the movie Fan Day. So she asked to play the bell for a bit.)

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

We have arrived!

Lovers' Bridge

The Bridge of Lovers!

However,

Do you see something blue next to the bridge?!

It is being updated!

T^T

Why is it that whenever I take my pig out, there's always something closed or under construction?

Who followed us during our trip to Singapore?

Imagine our surprise when even the Merlion, Singapore's iconic landmark, was under repair during our visit.

The central court in Chanthaburi is closed for repairs.

This is Lover's Bridge again.

The power of the pig is truly formidable.

It's alright.

The bridge itself is still accessible for walking and taking pictures, as only the area next to it is under renovation.

This angle clearly shows that the repairs are genuine.

Although the results are not perfect, we are still satisfied with the images we obtained.

Translation:

One more couple photo.

Crossing the bridge, they took photos to their heart's content, offering a glimpse into the atmosphere of the visitors: couples, friends, and families alike.

One can truly feel that this is another lovely and impressive city.

Translation:

This is a blank paragraph.

Approximately 5:30 PM.

As we walked, we heard the sound of beautiful music.

I noticed that there were live musicians playing.

A song that is easy on the ears, even though it is not in a universal language.

However, if you get to sit and relax by the sea with your partner

This place is absolutely perfect.

(If you're coming alone, single as a pringle, looking for someone to cuddle or flirt with, I recommend bringing a pillow. Haha!)

6:00 PM

As the sun begins its descent, casting a warm glow across the horizon, we capture a breathtaking vista from a unique perspective.

Before we bid farewell to this romantic port city,

I have also gained a fair share of valuable experiences from this city.

1. Although Tamsui is located at the end of the railway line, with proper planning and a strong desire to explore each destination, we can effectively manage our trip's schedule. (We almost removed it from our initial plan.)

2. The accumulated fatigue from the journey can be alleviated if the people around us are understanding and do not get irritated with each other. This will make the trip we planned as happy as it should be.

3. When encountering unexpected situations, such as a bridge closure for repairs, instead of letting it dampen your trip, try to find alternative ways to enjoy the moment. Look for other positive aspects around you, even if it means waiting for the sunset to experience the atmosphere instead of the perfect view from the bridge.

And finally, we must return to Taipei.

To capture the overall atmosphere of Taipei.

To be reviewed in the next issue.

Our 5-Day, 4-Night Trip to Taiwan for Two People

Only Taipei remains in the end.

Please wait and follow us both.

Thank you.
