Wu Fen Pu

Our next stop was Wu Fen Pu, a wholesale market for all kinds of clothes. I needed to do some shopping.

From the guidance from the helpful Taiwan police, we learned Wu Fen Pu (五分埔)was in the Houshanpi (后山裨) line station on the blue line. Luckily it's close to MRT station by walking few minutes. 


We'll not get lose since the direction to Wu Fen Pu shown clearly 

From their face, I knew they're moving the same direction with me 
Wide variety of winter clothes with reasonable price 
wanted to do some shopping but found that most of them were selling winter clothes that wasn't applicable to me. 
It's better to do some shopping during Taiwan's summer. Am I in the high level of shopping spirit when it's summer?

I lack of continuity to visit here for next time although it offered cheapest price compared to shopping malls in Ximending.

The cab driver that we took from Di Hua Street to Riverview Hotel Taipei suggested us about other interesting tourist destinations like Tamshui, Maokong, RaoHe Nighmarket and Wu Fen Pu. Among those tourists spots, he highly recommended Tamshui. According to him, the scenary view of Tamshui (淡水)and its old street quite amazing.

Since 3 of us didn't have much money, we decided to go for budget travel. Travelling by using train was our first option.

Taipei Railway looked huge with clear signboards

naked birdman sculpture in Taipei Railway Station. 

This sculpture named Daydreams and designed by He Chai Rou (何采柔) and Guo Wen Tai (郭文泰)

The sculpture wrote like this:

在一片喧闹繁华的台北,“梦游”提供了一个打破单调生活的短暂解放。站立在一片草原之中,带着鸟头的女孩手上握着铅笔,脸上留下的水覆盖到他整个身体,永远长不大的女孩,永远写不出字的铅笔,停留在静止与流动,现实与幻想之间。。。这个超现实的雕塑邀请你停下脚步微笑,停下脚步做梦。

We proceeded to MRT red line for Tamshui station
