It's an old Hakka town that has been partially preserved, in the foothills of Taiwan's beautiful mountains.
Come with me for a brief look around...
 |
| Arrived in Hsinchu. I can see blue sky! (It's been almost two weeks of rain in Taipei) |
 |
| A really nice day to at this train station for 45min because there's only one train to Neiwan per hour. |
 |
| Arrived in Neiwan! |
 |
| Old town street, lots of traditional snacks |
 |
| We found an interesting restaurant which used to be an old theater |
 |
| Very cool place... |
 |
| Old equipment. A couple props, but most of it is real. |
 |
| I'm guessing back in the day the more important people got to watch from upstairs. |
 |
| They showed old movies too. This one seemed to be a comedy of the slapstick variety. |
 |
| So many Tatung Boy dolls.. (the mascot of an almost-100-year-old Taiwanese manufacturing firm) |
 |
| An old abandoned church, signs in both Chinese and Japanese |
 |
| Christianity in Taiwan declined from the 50's and 60's until the turn of the century. |
 |
| Going down to the river |
 |
| Beautiful river valley |
 |
| The water was very clear and greener than it's showing up here |
 |
| Misty mountains |
 |
| We spent a while relaxing by the water |
 |
| The hidden ninja village-uh, I mean, town.. of Neiwan. |
 |
| In Taiwan, even potting soil is delicious! |
 |
| If it's actually chocolate crumbs covering strawberry ice cream, that is... |
 |
| Heading back |
 |
| The Taiwanese countryside (no filter) |
 |
| Heading back to Xinzhu and then Taipei. I love Taiwan! |
