| The first view visitors to 九份 will see. |
 |
| Pretty hillside town. |
 |
| Carvings of some mining activity. Anyway 九份 used to be a gold mining town. Wah $$$... |
 |
| Apparently you can climb up this hill (judging from the rest pavilions), the tallest point of 九份 I think? |
 |
| 九份老街, where all the good food is. |
 |
| The must-try food in 九份 - 芋圆! Perfect for a hot day. |
 |
| This fishball stall looks appetizing. Up till now I've no idea what is 古早味, though it can be seen everywhere. |
 |
| Some 水晶包-like 红糟肉圆. |
 |
| Taiwan sausages!! I'm drooling already. |
 |
| Ascending the narrow steps of 老街. |
 |
| Another recommended 芋圆 stall. Toppings like green beans and red beans are available. |
 |
| Went from 九份 to 十分(don't ask why the 'FEN' is written differently). You have to cross the tracks to enter 十分. Don't worry the train will stop for you to cross. |
 |
| This railway track is an icon of the small little town of 十分, like a spinal cord running through a body. |
 |
| This bridge is probably called 静安吊桥 because they don't want people to run and jump on it otherwise it might collapse... |
 |
| Beautiful scenery ahead. |
 |
| "Sail down the river which brings us life..." |
 |
| Along the way to see the famous waterfall. |
 |
| Where the suspended bridge and railway track runs parallel. Nope, that waterfall over there is not the famous one... |
 |
| We're here! Was surprised that there is an entrance fee charged. |
 |
| 十分美丽的瀑布! The water really flows like silk. |
 |
| "Somewhere over the rainbow..." |
 |
| Attempting to take a 'Jurassic Park' kinda shot. |
 |
| I wonder if it's allowed to swim here haha. Argh some water got into my lens, even at this distance. |
 |
| Another highlight of 十分 is 放天灯 at the railway tracks! Some even attach firecrackers to their 天灯. Just make sure they don't bump onto any rooftops as they rise up into the sky. |
 |
| When the horn sounds, everyone will 'siam' the tracks and watch the train zoom past their faces. (reminds me of Thailand's famous railway market) |
 |
| Writing my wishes =) |
 |
| These lantern charms are good souvenirs to bring home for your family and friends. |
