Taiwan Trip Dec 6-14 Day 7 - Danshui / Fisherman’s Wharf 漁人碼頭 / Lover’s bridge 情人橋

After Beitou, it is Danshui, 淡水。 Took a walk in the street to get to the ferry terminal. Was here last June but miss the fisherman's wharf. This round, our aim is to go to Fisherman's Wharf 漁人碼頭.
Danshui Old street - still as colourful and busy as before




Did not know there is a 三峽牛角 outlet here but tummy is too full with lunch's ramen to try anything!


Ferry Ticket Booth - forgot that we can use our easycard to board the ferry. Bought 1 way ticket at NT50/person.







We were seated right in front in a crowded ferry - could not see anything. After a short while, we reached 漁人碼頭. This is the ferry pont.

More shots around Lover's Bridge 情人橋. Hubby loved this place.

Lots of shop/coffeehouses here









This artist is very good, isn't he?

Beautiful Sunset

We drank tea/coffee at this coffee house, listen to this lady who sang beautifully and watched people go by.

Nicely lit ferry





After that, we crossed over to the other side via the bridge and took a bus back to Danshui Station.
This is the other end of the bridge, where we took the bus

Bus journey is longer, compared to the ferry but cheaper. Only NT15/person. Just take the bus from the bus stop after crossing the bridge. End of Day7.
