Taiwan Day 3 - Jiufen/Shifen

Headed to Taipei Main Station real early in the morning to take the TRA to Jiufen/Shifen! Was kinda lost at first cause we went to the wrong platform. But thank God we were early, so it didn't matter all that much. :)

Platform 4! the RIGHT platform.. :)

Yvonne & I on the train.. i look real tired & disheveled. >_<


to Ruifang

To get to Shifen, we had to take the TRA to Ruifang first before transferring to one of those smaller inter county (?) trains. I rather enjoyed the ride throughout as it was pretty scenic and old school. :) However, to purchase the train ticket from Ruifang to Shifen, we had to get out of the station and head to the main ticketing counter instead. How troublesome..
