新竹一日游

i hv always wanted to take a train journey @ taiwan... so here i am


since i only have less than a day time so i could only choose someware near to go. if not i will choose a route that i could see the real scenery


after almost 2hrs train journey, i finally arrived @ hsinchu
again, very drama... b4 i left for tpe i did some research on hsinchu of places i could go. to north i can go hsinchu harbour; to south i can go to some lake. actually i wanted to go to the lake but i din really print out the map and things. so i thot since this is a tourist spot, i shld be able to find map @ the railway stn


but when i reached hsinchu railway stn, there's only tourist leaflet for hsinchu harbour. so without wasting time asking ard, i head direct to hsinchu harbour via local bus. actually it was very fun tat i travelled alone and ask for my own direction. and taiwanese is really very super friendly, nice and helpful.


when i alight the bus, the bus driver pointed out a 2storeys building which is a market that's sell fresh seafood and have eatery upstairs. so i walked over to hv my lunch; seafood noodles and clams. the seafood is very fresh and the food tastes good as well.

eat full liao so next is the 17km splendid coastline scenic area via cycling hehe...the waitress told me to complete 17km on bicycle would require 4hrs. ahem... ok nvm, i'll just cover a bit ;) then i proceed to a bicycle rental shop and get this bike for NT100

blue sky looks cool rite but it's actually very very hot. and i tink it's too hot tat nobody wan to cycle during summer time and especially noon time. haha, cos when i started cycling it was 12+

really the whole path is near to zero human, only some local passing by on motorbike and gv me a stare... "tis girl muz be siao cycling under the hot sun"

i too bo liao and enjoying the whole path by myself, i decided to take some fun photos

i love the big blue sea :)

all the road sign is designed as a crab.. hehe....

more blue sea

i only cycle until the 3km point and i cant take it anymore. anyway i need to go back to tpe for the Deaflympics Closing ceremony.

a reliable bike rental shop..hehe

so i left hsinchu harbor and head back to hsinchu city and is the same bus driver. hahaha... i asked him to drop me someware near the railway stn which hv something to see see look look. this is hsinchu city hall

im not sure i can go in or not, since there's no1 stopping me so i went in and walk 1 round and took some pics

after tat, i try to find my way to the railway stn and passed by a nice garden in the middle of the city
