Let me tell you about the trip 🌎 📍 Day 1- First stop.— Houtong Cat Village — We will go to Houtong Cat Village! If you are a cat lover, you will enjoy this experience. You might find many cats here. And also many lovely things. We also could find a coffee shop which is famous in this town. Second stop.— Jiufen Old Street — We will visit Jiufen Old Street, what makes Jiufen so special? Well, Jiufen gets its name from the original nine families who settled in the village during the Qing dynasty, who asked for nine portions of shipments every time they arrived (九Jiu=nine 份Fen=portion). 📍 Day 2 - First stop - Exploring Tamsui Old Street, we are going here by bus and MRT. Also will visit Fort San Domingo (aka 紅毛城 Hongmaocheng, “City of Red Hair") is one of the oldest buildings in Taiwan, with a nearly 400-year history. Originally built by the Spanish, it was handed over to nine nations, including the Dutch, Qing, Japan, British, Australia, USA, and the ROC. Now it is a popular tourist destination in Tamsui. The cultural kaleidoscope of Taiwan's capital city pulses wherever you go. Incense-veiled temples dating back to dynastic times blend seamlessly with a neon street life of a decidedly more modern era. Taipei has dozens of world-class restaurants where gourmets can sample the best regional Chinese cuisine; and for the gourmand, there are plenty of night markets serving up scrumptious evening snacks in an environment of chaotic excitement and fun. So, are you ready? 💰 To summarize, what is included in the price? - Accommodation: We have the option of staying in Jiufen Gourd Stone TreeHouse/ or same level B&B - transportation: Bus & MRT -Ticket 👋 Let me know if you have any new ideas!
