Taiwan Day 4 - Part 2

After departing from Hualien station, we made our way to Ruifang and got a taxi to our accommodation in Jiufen....Winsor B&B.... it's one of those old style houses that has been refurbished but still retained alot of it's charm...






Outdoor sitting area with a really pretty view











After getting settled, we decided to explore Jiufen Old Street, which was just behind our B&B....
