A Throwback To Taipei

This is a going to be a throwback post, which is picking some of my old memorable trip with my beloved ones, to share with y'all and it also matches today -- our Throwback Thursday!


I had a summer vacation with two of my bestfriends to Taiwan last May. It was such a spontaneous decision right after our final year exams.


This is the rural area in Taipei. We had a long way trip by train to finally get there. It is famous for its railway, where there are lots of tourists would take photos in it. It is also being so famous after a film casting there. We were attracted by its bits of vintage atmosphere.

The next destination that I would like to share is a place like an old village, where people were used to live in like a neighbourhood.


The Taiwanese Government has much concern on local art and creative industry. Therefore, this place has now turned into a handicraft and DIY products trade market, which is called the 'Simple Market'. Those products selling there are all handmade and unique. But be aware of that the Simple Market is only open on weekends. There are also indoor and outdoor cafes for visitors to chill around, having a nice chat with friends and family. There are also workshops and music concerts in particular dates. I appreciated that this place has become a combination of old and youth, where it is an area of old buildings and at the same time it attracts lots of young people to gather here or even start off their tiny businesses.
