Jiu Fen & Wu Lai

This should be the last set of photos for taiwan...
I lost a roll of film on Ximending, Shilin and the taipei 101...sigh...but at least there isnt much to share for those as well...

Alot of people told me that Jiu Fen is very nice, but maybe because of the wet weather and the crowded tourists there, i couldn't really enjoy much.
Since it is famous for its old streets, i took quite a handful of pictures on them.

In Taipei, the 2 most popular place for Hot spring is either Beitou or Wu Lai. Apparently, Beitou is too commercialize among the locals yet it is a favourite among tour group and unless you are on your own free and easy, you wont be able to visit this rural and secluded Wulai.
Trust me, it is a much nicer place where there are may trails that you can walk after hotspring session.

We took the mini rail to the waterfall which is one of the icons here in wulai..the journey is a short 15mins ride...

We found a path down to the river...where there are streams of hotspring here...
The locals love going down to soak in the natural hotspring here.
