Tamsui, New Taipei, Taiwan
Since I’m leaving Taiwan tomorrow, I planned to have a relaxed day. In the morning, I spent time with a Camino friend in Taichung before taking the train back to Taipei to meet another Camino friend. As I hadn’t visited Tamsui before, she suggested we explore the riverside, Old Street, and Fisherman’s Wharf.
She grew up in the area, so she introduced me to local food, shops, and sights. As we walked, the sun set behind cloudy skies, with only a soft orange glow breaking through in the distance.
We strolled from Tamsui Station all the way to Fisherman’s Wharf, then took the bus back. After dinner nearby, we parted ways. I grabbed my backpack from the station locker and caught the train toward the airport, where I’ll stay overnight for my early flight. Ending my trip with friends I had met on the Camino was a perfect farewell to Taiwan.
