Tamsui

Tamsui is a small city to the northeast of Taipei, located along the Tamsui River. The scenery is beautiful, surrounded by mountains and water.

After taking in the view by the MRT station, we started the walk along the river towards the Fisherman's Wharf. 

There's a ferry that can take you to the Fisherman's Wharf, but we decided to walk!

The stroll took us all along the coast. 

Back in the 19th century this was the center of shipping and commerce in northern Taiwan. 

But now it's just a great place to escape the city and be by the coast!

We saw this amazing guy start and finish a painting of a girl in the time it took for one song to finish playing.

Then the path took us away from the water

We passed a couple pigs on the street...

and a driving school.

Then, we finally made it to the boardwalk. 

"Lover's Bridge" is said to have the best view of the sunset in all of Taiwan. 

We made it just in time!

The walk back was still beautiful, even when it was  getting dark.

On our way back we stopped off to get some of the famous shrimp rolls. 

It was a beautiful day!
