Chance Encounter with Jimmy Liao on the Tamsui Light Rail.

Starting from the Starbucks at the Tamsui Mangrove Forest, each light rail station all the way to the Fisherman's Wharf features installation art themed around Jimmy Liao's series. These artistic touches add a hint of childlike wonder to the urban excursion. All platforms on the Tamsui Light Rail are open-air, offering unbeatable views on clear days. The only downside is that in windy or rainy weather, passengers have no shelter and can easily end up drenched.

Taiwan’s most popular old street👣

Ironically, I never heard nor knew about Tamsui Old Street until my local friend took me there during my trip. The street is well known in Taiwan for its historical past and local delicacies. My friend told me that there was initially a proposal to expand the railway system with a part of it running through the old street, but the project was modified so as preserve the street which has been there for more than a century since the Qing Dynasty. Some local delicacies are the iron eggs and Agei (transparent noodles wrapped in tofu).Since it’s a coastal village, there’s an abundance of seafood snacks along the street: baked squid, fried fish, shrimp rolls… I defo recommend the seafood there. Everything I ate was fresh and delicious! There are also lots of options around if you feel like shopping. I also wandered in the alleys along the street to explore around. The street was pretty crowded, especially on a Saturday afternoon. How to go ➡️ We took the MRT to Tamsui Station and walked for a few minutes. #historicplaces #historiccalture #oldstreets #oldvillage #streetfood #streetwalk #newtaipei #taiwantravel #taiwantourism #taiwandelicacies #taiwan

Because foreigners are reddish in color, the local aborigines call it "Red Mao Fan", and the place where they live is called "Red Mao City." The main castle of Hongmao City is divided into two floors. The ground floor maintains the original appearance of the cell.

The most senior university and middle school in the hometown of Jay Chou! The University of Truth is close to the Red City, the distance from a door, from the "colonial" to the "higher school"! The Oxford School of Chinese and Western architecture is the predecessor of the University of Truth. Dr. Ma Wei was founded in 1882 in Tamsui and personally designed and supervised the work. It is the first Western-style modern school in Taiwan and the first college and university in Taiwan's history. After a hundred years of expansion, it was officially renamed "Truth University" in 1999. However, it is said that after the merger of Ma Rong School of Medicine and Ma Rong College, the university will be renamed "Ma Rong University" again in 2020. From the University of Truth to the 5th minute walk of Tamkang Middle School, these first schools to teach Western-style education, the campus buildings are full of European flavor, walk into it, just like entering a small European town. The rugby game in the movie "The Secrets That Can't Be Say" and the youth scene where Jay Chou eats Bento is filmed on the campus sports ground. I have to say that these places of learning knowledge, the environment is too elegant, not to talk about love in the field, it is a waste!
