Taiwan Trip Day 3 - Qijing or Cijin Island - Taking the ferry

PLEASE ASK PERMISSION BEFORE YOU RE POST MY PHOTOS ON TO YOUR BLOG. THERE ARE SOME BLOGGERS WHO DID NOT ASK MY PERMISSION AND REPOST MY PHOTOS WITHOUT THE COURTESY OF LINKING BACK TO MY BLOG. THIS IS LIKE STEALING. PEOPLE, I HAVE SPEND MUCH TIME TAKING PHOTOS AND DOING HOMEWORK ON MY TRAVELLING INFORMATION AND KINDLY SHARE THESE INFORMATION TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THEM. IF NECESSARY I WILL POST SCREEN SHOT OF YOUR BLOG TO SHOW YOUR BAD MANNERS OF STEALING MY PHOTOS. THE MOST DISGUSTING THING THEY DID WAS TO SCREEN SHOT MY PHOTO AND CORP OFF MY BLOG TITLE AND REPOST IN THEIR BLOG.

On day 3 of our Taiwan Trip, we decided to visit Cijin Island after a sumptous buffet breakfast in the hotel.

We took MRT from Kaoshiung MRT to Sizihwan MRT Station. From Sizihwan MRT Station to the ferry terminal is about 10 minutes. Look at the map and directions on which is the best exit to go to Gushan Ferry Pier.



Once we exited from the MRT Station, there were many signboards to direct us to the Gushan Ferry Pier. You might encountered some bicycles shop owners asking you to rent their bicycles. It is not necessary to rent from them cause you can always rent from the island itself. But if you choose to rent from them, you can cycle to the ferry pier and cycled into the ferry to go across the island.



Finally after a short walk, we saw the ferry terminal.

We need to slot NT15 into the box at the gate to enter the ferry. The fares for adults are NT15, Students NT12, senior citizen aged above 65 and small kids are NT8, Motorbikes are NT20 while bicycles goes in free on the ferry. Residents of Cijing Island rides free on the ferry.

Passengers take the upper deck while vehicles take the lower deck.

Hi Alice! Sorry for the absence, but these last two months have been rather nasty! My mother (90) was in hospital for more than three weeks and the post-surgery was hard! My father (94) seemed to be an orphan while my mother was out and felt into some kind of depression... The economy is a disaster and the media only bring bad news... The € Euro is rescued every day, only to be known that it needs to be rescued again and again next morning... What else? Well, maybe «Midnight in Paris»... The problem is that the Gil there is a different one... ;)

Have a great trip!!

Blogtrotter Two wanders currently around pre-historical Corsica, where it seems all this will be leading to... ;) Enjoy and have a wonderful week ahead!
