2018 Dec: Taiwan: Ruifang Station

Before we can reach the towns of Jiufen and Shifen in northeast side of Taiwan, there's Ruifang that will be the base for commuting transfers.

I already bought advance tickets online because based on some vlogs, there are cases that the train back to the city from Ruifang are fully booked (and we cannot let our mom standing for that long on the train.)

For regular trips, you can visit here.  For the high speed, try to check this page.  You just need to print your paid reservation voucher and exchange it to actual tickets on the counter. 

Here are our tickets with reserved seats.

From Ruifang, that's where you can take bus to Jiufen, train to Shifen or taxi ride to either Jiufen or Shifen.

On the train platform back to the city, there is a souvenir shop that you can visit to kill sometime while you are waiting for the next train schedule.

You can also opt to visit the old street behind the station to grab some snacks.
