Hello my Steemit friends, with my previous blogs on National Memorial Hall, the Red House and traditional braised pork rice in Taiwan, I will still be showing you around Taipei today.
親愛的Steemit好友，繼我之前跟大家介紹了 台灣國立紀念館、西門紅樓、傳統魯肉飯後，今天我又會帶大家去台灣繼續遊覽!
Now simply close your eyes 😌 and let’s set off for the New Taipei City! We will be spending a day on the “TRAIN trip”.
請閉上你的眼睛，我們即將出發到台北的新北市，開展一天的鐵道旅程。
Our journey ahead 我們的路線
Starting off from Taipei Station, we firstly travelled to Ruifang by metro. Then we bought the one-day ticket for the train on Pingxi Line so we can travel anytime along the Pingxi Line.
我們從台北車站出發，先坐捷運到買了平溪支線的的一天票，可以全天任坐平溪線的捷運。
🐾Station #1: Ruifang 第一站︰瑞芳🐾
Address: No. 82, Section 3, Mingdeng Road, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
地址︰台灣新北市瑞芳區龍潭里明燈路三段82號

On our arrival to Ruifang, we arrived at the 520 Platform (“520” means “I love you” in Chinese).
到達瑞芳，我們便看到520月台。
We can take photos with the famous Postman and buy the little metro tickets with blessings as gifts to friends and family.
這是著名的郵差叔叔，其實覺得他的笑容有點詭異😆 這裡也可以買到仿照車票製成的祝福符，可以送給朋友和家人喔。
There are some night markets around Ruifang but due to time limit, we went directly to Shifen because we had something more to do!
瑞芳附近也有很多不同的美食，但由於時間緊迫，我們會直接到十分，好戲在後頭!
🐾Station #2: Shifen 第二站︰十分🐾
Address: No. 51, Shifen Street, Pingxi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
地址︰新北市平溪區十分里十分街51號

Here we are - Shifen!!! It is a calm, modest and peaceful area separated from the Taipei city area (although it can get quite crowded during travel seasons 😜).
到了十分!!!! 十分遠離台北市中心的煩囂，是一個寧靜樸素的小區 (雖然旅遊旺季還是會充斥著旅客)。
To release the flying lanterns (Fang tian deng) is a must-do item on my checklist. The different colors of the paper symbolise different aspects of life, for example “green” symbolises wealth and pink symbolises relationship.
放天燈在我的「必做事項表」上是其中一項，原來天燈上的不同顏色代表生命中的不同方面，例如綠色代表財運，桃紅色代表桃花運。
As we write our wishes onto the flying lanterns and release it, we have the chance to tell the God our wishes, hoping that our wishes will come true somday.
把人的願望寫在天燈的紙上，放上天上，好像把願望告訴天上的神。
🐾Station #3: Qingtong 第三站︰菁桐🐾
Address: No. 52, Jingtong Street, Pingxi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
地址︰新北市平溪區菁桐里菁桐街52號

Qingtong is the oldest station along the Pingxi line. You can feel the simplicity and peace of the life by walking around Qingtong.
菁桐是平溪線上最古老的一站，由於是終點站，大家可以漫步在路軌上，感受一下這個古城的簡樸、和平氣息，到處都掛著寫滿願望的竹筒。
Unluckily the Qingtong Railway Museum was closed that day. That is a place worth visiting and it tells us the historic story about the Qingtong station.
真不巧菁桐鐵道故事館當天閉館了，那是菁桐一個很值得參觀的地方喔，訴說菁桐車站的動人歷史。
