Danshui
With so much to do and delicious food to taste, it’s easy to see why Danshui is one of the most popular day trip destinations for residents of Taipei City. Danshui’s Old Street is a hive of activity, especially at the weekend. Here you can find a lot of locally made handicrafts and plenty of souvenirs. There are clothes shops, gift stores, and tons of street vendors all plying their wares on this narrow pedestrian street. But best of all is the food stalls where you can sample some of Taipei’s famous street foods.
There are a few ferry boats that operate between several locations around Danshui and Bali, which is located on the other side of the river. They are a cheap and fun way to get out onto the water but yet to be considered, the boats are small and if the weather is windy you can feel every single wave. The small coastal town of Danshui lies to the northwest of Taipei city at the end of the MRT’s Red line. This ever-popular day trip destination features many historic sites such as Fort San Domingo and Danshui Old Street. Come here and enjoy your holiday!
