Tio lor, the cab transport was a minor problem. Too far for walking and rail can only reach certain stops.

Taipei kinda warm up already? Thought is still quite cool over there now. Was warm and sticky when I was there in late May to early June.

Very energetic siax..Maybe becos i slept for about 2 1/2hrs on the plane, reach there awake abit..Slept again on the train(About 2hrs+) then slept abit on the bus up..

Reach minsu then started walking around taking pictures, check in..Drink some tea then waited awhile for the driver before heading out..

Imagine my flight departed Changi at about 0115H, i reach the minsu at like 1+ in the noon..Non-stop travelling..The next day woke up at 3.30am and head out liaox..Only back in the noon for a 2hrs break before going out again..

For tapei / taiwan noob like me who planning to go 九份, which mode of travel can see more scenery??

Option 1:

Take train to 瑞芳, then transfer to bus up to 九份.

Option 2:

Take Keelung bus 1062 (direct no transfer required) near 忠孝復興 MRT station.

Anyone can advise on Option 1???

I googled for online info only says transfer to bus at 瑞芳 but didn't mention bus number.

Thanks.

Option one..I forgot the bus no but opp Ruifang Station main entrance..I rem the bus got label Jinguashi(Which is just slightly further up from Jiufen). Can just ask the ppl around there.

I always option 1 for Jiufen cos i enjoy the train journey from Taipei to Ruifang..
