Day 6 - Ping Xi Old Town

Something idiotic happened after we return from Dan Shui,

We tried buying train tickets to Ping Xi, our destination next day.

So happily, we tap tap tap on the machine, selecting round tickets,

pump in the money and out comes the tickets.

Feeling smug about conquering the train ticketing machine,

we took the MRT back to our homestay.

We then took at our tickets and found out,

that the tickets dispensed were only for the return trip

-_-'

the tickets to PingXi were marked with XXX

Why didn't the ticketing machine inform us that the tickets to PingXi were out

and why bother to dispense useless tickets...

We even went back to Taipei Main station to just to confirm that the tickets are sold out

=_='

Nonetheless, its not gonna stop us from going PingXi

The next day morning, we took the MRT to Muzha

To get on the bus to Ping Xi

Once alighting at Muzha, we were looking for breakfast

And we selected this shabby looking shack

That was providing breakfast to workers from the construction site nearby

Lu Rou Fan aka Braised Meat Rice

Chao Mian aka Stir Fried Noodles

The food was unbelievably good!

Street fare's the best

After 1 hr bus ride, we finally arrived at Ping Xi

Ping Xi Lao Jie,

Old Streets of Ping Xi

Such nostalgic feel

The PingXi train station

Bricks

The Tracks

Ancient Meat stall

The high up tracks

The hometown of Sky Lantern

Even the lamp post is in the shape of sky lantern

Towering view of Pingxi

Minor trekking to explore the area

Tau Huey aka Beancurd

Honestly, the nicest I ever had
