Ruifang Train Station
2023 Dec 06
The station has an old look, as it dates from 1919. This is in high contrast to the MRT lines if you're coming from Taipei. But it is also nice to see this station with a vintage look and a different tempo. As train are not too frequent, check timetable. There are many food shops around, to get a snack if you are going to or coming back from the interesting places in the the city or the surrounding area such as Juifen, Badouzi, or the various hiking trails.

Petite gare ordinaire ce qui permet de facilement s'orienter même pour un premier passage. La liaison avec Bordeaux via Cenon, Libourne, St Emilion, Castillon, Ste Foy est assez populaire et efficace.
Yizhong Street Night Market
2023 Sep 14
A must-see in Taichung. Be aware that the market is huge and it's easy to stray far from the entrance you started with. Wandering between the street food vendors and the many other shops (clothes, souvenirs, cheap jewelry, toys, drinks, etc.) is quite an experience because the market is very lively without being too noisy or too crowded on weekdays.
Taipei City Mall
2023 Nov 14
Large underground shopping center, a must-see for the variety of stores, the busy atmosphere and often music groups. The mall is actually a bit difficult to navigate, as it has several areas that will emphasize different themes, and each area is quite large. So, it's easy to spend 2 to 3 hours walking around. These areas have a main focus, such as books, manga/cosplay items, food, electronics and video games, clothes/bags, phone accessories, but there will be some mixing, which effectively makes the discovery of the place full of surprises. Be aware that most stores are closed before 10 a.m.
