We took a cab from Hsinchu (hotel) to the Gao Tie station (about 30 mins journey by car). The station is a separate one from the normal train station that we arrive at on the first day.The exterior & interior of the station resembles that of an airport.

| Self-service machines are also available. |
As we're not too sure, we bought the tickets from the counter to play safe.

Cabbed to Miramar Hotel in Taipei. The traffic was very bad. A journey which would typically takes us around 10mins became about 30 mins due to the jam.

This hotel is adequate, nice, but is not as cosy as Hsinchu's hotel. Jones like it for the work table, but I find that this kind of room is more suited to one-person occupancy. Only a table for one, never thinking about their partners who may also want a place for her own laptop.
We went for dinner straightaway after checking in. We have to walk for about 15mins before finding places for dinner. According to Jones who walk around on his own the next day, he says there's more food on the other side of the hotel. We explored the right side of the hotel, but apparently most of the eating places are on the left side, no wonder we couldn't find much to eat.
We passed by this place and saw a long queue of people. They are queuing for mooncakes....we thought of buying from here, but the queue is just way too long..
Dinner - ru rou fan (minced meat rice), fu yong egg, veg & the gong yuan soup (above pic).
