Wandering Fel

We are going to see the waterfall because my friend has not seen it before. Along the way we saw the railway and a lot of people are taking picture with it (including my friend). Hehe.

If you are wondering if you are able to see the waterfall from on board the train, well no, you can't. So the only way to see the waterfall is by purchasing the entry ticket for access to the waterfall. The waterfall in summer...is kinda dry though. 

How do I know? Well, it kinda looks different from the picture on the ticket for a start. 

It's still pretty though albeit hot. Very hot. The sun is burning.

On the way back, we bought a pouch where we can hang our keys inside. Ironically, we have not used it until today. Hahaha. They look so cute though. The seller claimed that she has sewn them by her own hands. Handmade. MIT (made in Taiwan). =P

For my previous posts on Shifen, you can go to this shifen1, shifen2 and shifen3. Shifen is really a fun place. You should go! =)

Shifen is administratively part of Pingxi District, New Taipei City. The train that we rode is part of the Pinxi Branch Rail Line which extends from Sandiaoling to Jingtong stations. The view from the train can be pretty scenic at some sections. 

The main attraction in Shifen is Shifen Waterfall (十分瀑布/ Shífēn pùbù), which is also known as Taiwan's Niagara Falls. If you do not know where the waterfall is, there is a guide map alongside the rail track. Else, you can just follow other tourists because most of them will definitely go there. =P

There are so many interesting things to see at the stalls located at the right and left side of the rail track. Like the bamboo rolls. Wishes and hopes are written on these bamboo rolls. Apparently these are written by visitors and visitors can just hang these in various places of the town. 

The fried ice cream stall immediately attracts our attention. Hahaha. What a hungry monster, we are.

There are three flavors to choose: vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. Yum!

The fried ice cream looks like a Japanese croquette in a way. 

Mine is filled with strawberry ice cream. Yum, I love this snack. Hehe.

We managed to bargain 4 pieces at the price of NTD120. The seller was so nice. =)
