Malaysia – Georgetown; The continuation search for Street Art (6)

You are back… =) Let’s move on.

Cute metal art showing the rickshaw ….

I was walking along Lebuh Pantai from Lebuh Armenian, I saw this painting  on the wall of the shops on the side of the Khoo Kongsi; cats carrying lanterns.

Exploring around.. hidden among the small alley at Ah Quee Street, I saw this mural painting of ‘Our Art is Dying’ by an unknown street  artist.

Another mural painting ‘The Real Bruce Lee Would Never Do This’ also at Ah Quee Street is part of the 101 Lost Kittens art project.

More metal art sculpture to enjoy……

Thanks for following me till this point but the walk is still not finish yet……….

Taiwan – Trip to PingXi train line (3)

Welcome back! We are still in Huotong. Walking along a small street and a gloomy day with a magnificent view of the mountains.

A temple along the street which I managed to capture.

Heading back to the Huotong station, I had to cross a covered pedestrian bridge to get over the other side of the track. In the covered pedestrian bridge, you could see people feeding cats and cartoon cat size stand.

Another beautiful view of the mountains from the other side of the tracks.

A lazy cat sleeping on the souvenir items while visitors taking photos of it.

…… my next stop was Shifen

This small town is really interesting. Do follow me on my next blog. 😊

Taiwan – Trip to PingXi train line (2)

Still in Huotong. It is a small town formerly a mining town but now is a cat town; a town filled with cats.

Below is a row of food souvenir shops which were next to the railway station. The food looks good but I did not stop to grab anything.

.. a miniature display of the old mining area of Houtong.

The ruins of the coal processing plant and the bridge used to carry the coal down from the mine in the nearby hillsides.

Cat homes which can be seen all around the town for the cats.

On the bridge where the railway track to the hillside.

This is one of the old mines which was closed and made to a tourist area.

More to come. Stay tune!

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. 😊
