8.13.09 Danshui, Bali and Beitou


We went to Danshui first. It was raining again. We walked around in Danshui, which is a city by the sea. We took a ferry to Bali, a nearby peninsula, and rented bikes there. We biked around the peninsula and stopped at an archaeology museum. The peninsula was pretty lush and we had a nice bike ride in the rain.

We came back to Danshui on the ferry, and ate some street food. It was unimpressive. I was fooled by the number of people eating there, but learned after we got our food that it was a mere tourist trap.

We went to Beitou afterwards, which is in the northern part of the city. This part of the city looks kind of quaint and charming. We ate some sushi at a place that has a bunch of plates of sushi circling around on a conveyer belt and you just pick the plates you want. It was pretty good sushi for the price. We soaked in some hot springs afterwards at a public hot springs bath house. It was all locals!
