[台湾] 第七天&第八天：国立国父纪念馆 > 中正纪念馆 > 台北101大楼 > 西门町 > 淡水老街, 渔人码头

We were quite rush for 2nd last day in Taiwan because we were going to many places. 

国父纪念馆
The first place we went was Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (国父纪念馆). We took Taipei MRT and stopped at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Station (國父紀念館捷运站). We spent about 1 hour and half to go through this big exhibitions on the hall.

台北101大楼

Taipei 101 (101大楼) is a landmark skyscraper located in Taipei. It is reachable via MRT Taipei City Hall station (市政府站) and there are free shuttle bus to Taipei 101. We didn't went up the tower to view the skyview because the ticket was too expensive. We just walked around to snap a beautiful photos of the tower.

淡水老街, 渔人码头
After whole day visited many places, we went to DanShui Old Street (淡水老街) at night. We took the MRT to the northern end at Danshui Station. The DanShui Old Street was just beside the MRT station. As I know, this night market was smaller compare to Shilin Night Market in terms of shopping and food. Because we were running out of time, we directly took a bus from the Danshui MRT Station to the Fisherman’s Wharf (渔人码头). There were boat/ferry service available too but it was too late.

Finally we reached famous Fisherman’s Wharf aka the "Lover's Bridge". Local people claims here was a romantic place for dating. Haha...not us o..Around the river, there were a boardwalk, chic coffee shops, foods and some seafood restaurants. We were hungry and bought some food and drink. After that, we sat there and enjoy the night view of the Fisherman’s Wharf.

 Our supper on that night after coming back from Fisherman’s Wharf.

For the last day in Taiwan, we didn't visited anywhere else. We packed the baggage and went to the Airport.
