Taiwan Trip 2012- Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf & Lover's Bridge (淡水漁人碼頭&情人橋)

And finally the main attraction in this district! The Fisherman's Wharf and the infamous Lover's Bridge, though I went all by myself haha. After coming down from the hills I took the same bus and arrived at my destination a good 10 minutes later.

This is the same concept at Korea where they used locks as a mark of a couple's relationship. Over here they just write in down on a piece of cardboard and hang it there.

As I arrived there quite early for the sunset, I went to a restaurant nearby to try out some food to wait for the time to pass.

The whole set costed about 462 NTD @@ which includes the bread and soup, main course meal and another drink. Didn't taste that nice though.

Sunset @ Tamshui's Fisherman Wharf

At about 6.30pm I hopped on the boat which brought me back to the Tamshui Old Street.

Hi there,

Do you know where can we get to write the locks @ danshui?

Hey. Sorry not sure about that. I didnt see anybody selling locks though. Maybe have to bring your own?
