This post focuses on our day at Damshui, and about our hostel (hostel details at end of the post). We had spent the morning at Beitou; you can read about it here. I'll be recapping on other places e.g. Wufenpu/Raohe night market, YeLiu/Chiufen, Nantou/SML and Taichung 宝岛时代村later this week. :)


How to go: Take the taipei metro to Tamsui station, it will take you straight to Tamsui 淡水.
Turn left as you exit the MRT and then right along the river. To get to the fisherman's wharf/Fort San Domingo, you can take  R26 from Danshui MRT Station. It's a long walk (more than 2km) so it's advisable to take the bus a rent a bicycle to cycle there. You may also take a ferry NT$50 from Tamsui Ferry Pier to the nearby island of Bali, 八里.
