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

Taiwan Day 4 - Part 1
Our accommodation for Day 3.... SheepHouse B & B....as usual...we were pleasantly surprise at the accommodation....there's always abit of apprehension when booking accommodation over the internet...but the place was so cosy and pretty....
Wish I could remember where this is...i think it's some old stuff leftover after the japanese invasion...but i could be wrong since i was left behind in the taxi with a sleeping Jayden....
This is where we end our journey to Hualien...really pretty..prob my fav in Taiwan so far...scenic...air is fresh...Our last and final stop in Hualien is actually the famous Hualien mocha store that is right next to the train station....made fresh and usually has a shelf life of only a day....no pics..since we were in a hurry....
