Taken just after the sun disappeared behind the mountains, and just before we were due to catch the train back to Taipei Station via Rueifang.

Jingtong

Jingtong is the last stop on the Pingxi Line (平溪線). Originally built by the Japanese to transport coal, the railroad now mainly serves day-trippers looking to explore the lush gorges and waterfalls of the Keelung River, and the derelict remains of the former industry.

Danshui

Danshui is where Taipei residents go to watch the sun set over the Taiwan Strait. It seldom has a more enthusiastic audience. On a Saturday evening the boardwalk and the Lover’s Bridge are packed with couples and photographers.
