Below highway 61 |
Well, I got off the a slow start this day. First I just walked around town a bit and checked out the fishery harbor. It was nice as usual, but nothing special.
However, I noticed some thuggish looking guys, the young and stupid type. They were big puffy guys jammed into a compact 1990's rust bucket, who were leaking betel nut from every orifice, and had doltish and violent expressions. They guffawed at me and followed me a bit, but the port area was teeming with Coast Guards so I was in no real danger.

I checked out the town a bit. It was mildly charming, but nothing too special.
Then I made my way to Hsinpu, which was another old seaside community a few km up the coast.

Food stalls outside Cioumaoyuan Theme Park |
The Cioumaoyuan Theme Park was a welcome and unexpected find. There were loads of odd and amusing statues.

Checking out big brother's junk! |
|
Woah! TMI! |
After the theme park, I checked out the very traditional little village of Hsinpu, with its quaint old railway station. I took the train back to Tongxiao to spend the night.
