Taiwan – Trip to PingXi train line (1)

Hi there!!! It has been a while since I wrote on my blog as I have been busy and also was on the road.

My last recent trip was to Taiwan (yup again!) but this trip was much longer and I stayed over the weekend. This time I managed to visit 3 small outskirt towns away from Taipei where I had to take bus from where I was staying to Taipei then another 45 to 1 hr train ride to Ruifang to catch another train on the PingXi train line.

On the day I travelled, it was a wet and gloomy day. Had to wait under the rain with an umbrella to catch a bus.

This is the Taipei Central Station where the HSR, local trains and MRT converged. Colourful lockers at the station.

Taipei ticket counter. .

Arrived at Ruifang station to change line to the PingXi line to Houtong for my first stop

… and this is the colourful train on the PingXi line to my first stop.

Upon arrival in Huotong, I was greeted by cats and lots of cats around. In fact there is a street or place for the cats there and you could see the visitors mostly local visitors from Taiwan feeding them…. and yes the cats are all well fed!! Lol

Where shall I go?

Well if you like to know … then follow me on my next posting. 😊
