Options 1: Shifen + Jiufen = NT2500 taxi fares

| Shifen Waterfall |
During the journey to Shifen Waterfall, I only been told that the waterfall was under renovation and nothing I could see. I felt so disappointed as this expression was been cheated on board. Therefore, we quickly move to the Shifen Old Street where this is the place we could put up lantern for wishing.

Afterwards, head to Jiufen 九份. In the meantime, we have to pay the taxi fares of NT 2500 once the taxi reach Jiufen (九份). This is the first optional trip where we were visited the Shifen Waterfall, Shifen Old Street and lastly to Jiufen. My experience here was to advice not to pick this options as it wasn't that fantastic trip.

I was happy with the trip to Jinguashi 金瓜石 as showed above. These was added in the schedule coincidentally once we up to the taxi planning to go Keelung's Night Market. However, the taxi driver recommended to go Jinguashi 金瓜石 for a short trip since it will be still earlier to go night market for dinner. The taxi driver that I met was a professional tour guide and photographer. He did shows some beautiful picture that he have capture in Jinguashi 金瓜石. He even suggested how we should take the picture in different locations.
With the pleasant evening trip, it's time for foods in Keelung's 廟口夜市 Miaokou Night Market. The most famous snack here was 邢记鼎边搓 that located next to the temple. It was like a noodle soup where the noodle made from rice paste. Give it a try when you are visiting.
