Well, the initial plan was to take a 2hour bus ride from Zhongxiao fuxing station to Jiufen but Looking at the bus and road condition, we decided on taking the comfort ride of the rapid train to Ruifang train station instead.
Took a train from Ximen Station and alight at Taipei Main station, walked to the train station.There is no enquiry counter or any pamplet on the train station, not even sure how many stops away to Ruifang. I told deardear to get tickets for the earliest train.. and got the 1140am tickets with no seats allocated, means we need to find our own seats.
We were early so sat inside the station to wait for the train to arrive.
The train is approaching.... look at the people rushin to get in first to get a seat
Looks like mrt , haha ....
Yeah.. We got ourselves a seat.. its freezing cold inside....
The ride is quite long.... must be alert when taking the train... coz maybe you will need to change train at Qi Du or Ba Du.... Heng our train is straight to Ruifang...
Yeah.... we are here!
Across the street is where you take the "Jinguashi" bus to Jiufen.....
We didnt wait for the bus as it was rather packed.

Ah - Mei Tea House
The window view from our table...
My tired baby....
Still as Hand-some as ever
The tea leaf menu is engraved on the bamboo..
And a fizzy drink with jelly - NTD 250 too...
The outdoor view from the teahouse.....
Captivating
The view from the steps down
Another teahouse... there are lots of tea house..
Each claiming to be the one , the movie Sad ciy was filmed.
The iconic view of Jiufen
My boy and his fetish with taking photo with bikes on the roadside
Down the road would be the bus stop to take the bus to Keelung or taipei
The bus from jiufen to keelung is really a "bumpy" bus...
Honey was trying hard not to puke.....lolz
The bus driver is chewing betel nuts all the way...
The bus driver will annouce the stop to MiaoKow...

This teahouse looks like those used to film Kungfu teahouse fighting scenes
My boy and his fetish with taking photo with bikes on the roadsideDown the road would be the bus stop to take the bus to Keelung or taipei
The bus from jiufen to keelung is really a "bumpy" bus...The curvy road of jiufen down to keelung is fast, curvy and bumpy ...And the driver is really skillful.... weaving in and out of narrow lanes.... and squeezing thru jam packed roads..
I think all their buses survived well without suspension.... I am so glad I finally got a seat...
Honey was trying hard not to puke.....lolzThe bus driver is chewing betel nuts all the way... And he can drive with one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand leaning on the window.....
Finally we are at KEELUNG
Finally we are at KEELUNG
The bus driver will annouce the stop to MiaoKow...But we decided to alight at Keelung station to find out whats the time of the train back to taipei in the evening...
