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.
3rd north gate of Taipei Train Station
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。
