Holiday in Taipei (part 4)

This is the day we planned to go on a day trip with my cousin and her 2 friends.  Destination: 九份 and 淡水.  Before we started on our journey, we had breakfast at some supposedly dou jiang stall.

KC ordered this salty dou jiang.  Its nice!



Taken from the cab since I was at the front seat

Finally we arrived at 九份.  Took a pic with my cousin as well as the scenery.




This is the streets of 九份. 

Chocolates in very interesting packaging



This is a waterfall to show the copper content in this mountain

Pipes that resemble anacondas line the mountain to redirect toxic fumes away from villagers.

Blue coloured rocks.  A result of oxidized copper.
 Can you see what copper does to the rocks?  It literally changes the colour from black to brown. Scary thought...


Next: 淡水.  Didn't take much pics here.


My cousin told us of this nice restaurant that served BBQ food.  We tried it and IT IS GOOD!
