We got a few time to spare on that day and decided to pack our bags, check out early, leave our luggage at the hotel and visit two more picturesque places one should put in their list whenever they paid at visit in Taiwan: Chiang Kai Shek Memoral Hall & P.S. Bubu Café.

I already lost track with the time. Taiwan’s sunset is earlier compare to the Philippines making it dark already on an earlier time. In Taipei City, establishments mostly closes at around 9 in the evening, what more if you are in the province area.

It was almost 6pm when we decided to leave Jiufen. We can only manage to cross out one itinerary on our list. We are heading to Shifen Old Street.

Using my google maps, we head on our way to our next destination. Google told us that there was an ancient street found near our place. Exactly 1.1 km away from our hotel. Equivalent to at least 12-15 minutes walk.

Bopiliao Old Street is a place where visitors can see well-preserved streets and traditional shop homes from the Qing period.
