Episode 128 - Sunset Danshui

This photo was taken at the coastal area of the Danshui River.

Apart from offering a spectacular view of the Danshui sunset, the coastal area has a number of sovenair shops and restaurants.

The restaurants along the coastal line offer Chinese style seafood and Western food. The Western styled restaurants are mostly located in an area covered by some huge banyan trees. I tried one of them and was happy with the service and the food offered. The prices of the food are very reasonable in the light of the quality of the food and the location of the restaurant. Enjoying the delicious food in front of the beautiful Danshui River is a double treat.

Episode 126 - Bridge of Love

These photos were taken at the Fishermen's Wharf at Danshui, Taipei.

Danshui is an old town in Taipei. If you take the subway at downtown Taipei, you will arrive here within half an hour's time. Danshui is the terminal station of the subway line so you will not miss the station.

The Fishermen's Wharf is not located at the town centre. However, it's worth taking a leisure walk in the Danshui Old Town, tasting the delicious local food before boarding a bus or a steamboat to the Fishermen's Wharf.

The Fishermen's Wharf features a beautiful white bridge and a long boardwalk (see photos) along the coastal line.

Whilst lovers like to walk along the boardwalk to enjoy the beautiful sunset of Danshui, the "Just Married" couples like to take photos on the white bridge.
