Morning Activity: 🚂 Step Back in Time on the Miaoli Old Mountain Line Railway! 🏞️

Miaoli Old Mountain Line Railway, originally constructed in the early 20th century, is Taiwan’s first rail biking system. We cycled the small, four-seater train carriages along the railway and enjoyed the panoramic views of Miaoli, which include the famous Shengxing Station and Longteng Bridge.

Longteng Bridge, or otherwise known as the Yutengping Broken Bridge, is a historic site that pays homage to the two earthquakes (one in 1935 and another in 1999) that destroyed it.

Do note that kids below the age of 3 and with height shorter than 95cm are not allowed to participate in this activity. Hence, hengboi2 and the husband had to sit out of this. Its recommended to reserve the Rail Bike via their website as it tend to get sold out quickly during peak period.

The cost of the train tickets are NT$275/adult and NT$220/children. The whole experience is about 1.5 hrs.

We walked along the street and came across these doughnuts that were supposedly famous. Maybe I didn’t eat it when it’s warm, but I prefer mister donuts, haha.

Chun Shui Tang 春水堂人文茶館

We requested for our driver to stop by Chun Shui Tang 春水堂人文茶館 for my bubble tea fix. Chun Shui Tang is known for the origin of bubble tea. Besides bubble tea, Chun Shui Tang also serves traditional Taiwanese dishes and snacks.

Dinner / Supper at 逢甲夜市。

逢甲夜市 is a night market in Xitun District, Taichung, Taiwan and is located next to Feng Chia University. 逢甲夜市 is one of my favorite night market as the night market offers a pleasant shopping experience with it’s variety of food, shopping and activities, and the waking spaces are very spacious as compared to markets like Raohe which i find it very cramped and hard to navigate when bringing kids.

It was almost 10 pm and we decided to take take a taxi back. It cost us NT$100 and took about 5 minutes. We could have walked, but with the speed of the kids and that its late, its faster to take taxi.
