We took MRT Route 2 Tamsui-Xinyi line 淡水信義線 from Taipei Main Station to Tamsui in about 30 minutes and more. Alighted at Tamsui and boarded a bus in front of the station to Fisherman Wharf in another 20 minutes. The fare was quite cheap. Not many visitors were around as there was not much to see during week-days. It was quite windy, and the only attraction we found is the Love Bridge 情人橋. According to local hawkers, this bridge is a good spot for lovers who like to frequent and build their love! As there was not much to see, we boarded the bus and back to the famous Tamsui Old Street 淡水老街. There were many hot and cold food stalls of various kinds. You got to be smart as prices were varied despite the same thing between the front and middle stalls.

Going to Tamsui is not difficult. It's actually fast by riding the train. Just hop on the line and Tamsiu is at the end of the station. Once you reach Tamsui station, it's right there! The street is populated by food stalls of different kinds, there's also some cute merchandise as well. From Tamsui you can just walk down to the Fisherman Warf and take a very short ferry ride to visit the Love Bridge. At the time of our visit, the temperature was really cold, the ferry ride was chilly. Going back to Tamsui, we opt to take the bus to keep ourselves warm.

My wife had previously visited here during the week and it was very quiet with most of the shops closed up.We then went back together on a sunny Sunday and it was packed with people bustling around with all the shops and eating places open and street acts. You have the choice of walking along the sea front or in land slightly amongst all the shops. Well worth visiting and spending a whole day there, but only at the weekend.

For a really different side of Taipei, ride the Metro #2 red line to the terminus at Tamsui and enjoy the north coast of the island. Old Street is like stepping back in time, with wooden fishing boats tied up at the wharf and tea shops serving Oolong tea and the Taiwan delicacy, pineapple cake.
