Took the train over to Rui Fang before taking a bus there.
the trip was indeed quite far~

We missed our breakfast today in the hotel because we wanted to try their 火车便当~! haha something new to us~ in the middle of the trip, there will actually be a guy selling their lunchbox on the train so we got one for ourselves! =)

Well.... the taste was so-so actually but definitely fill our stomach =)

Got off at Rui Fang and ting actually realised we should have gotten the lunchbox from the auntie selling at the station instead because that actually taste better~~ =.=  Sooo.. tips to note if we were to go there again!


Rest at the station to finish our lunchbox before we got the energy to travel up the hill!

Walked in to the street and the first thing that welcome me was their 臭豆腐~ it really smell soooo bad!! and i think it only have effect on foreigners like us.. or rather me~~~ T.T

Speed up my pace and went deeper into the street~ the buildings and environment really make me felt like i'm in a small village over there! really an eye-opener =)


and remembered my ex-boss actually told me the story behind the name Jiu Fen

他说。。 从前有一座山, 山上住着九户人家。
因为住在山上,所以村民们许要买东西时都必须下山买。
可是下山的路又不方便。 所以每一次有人下山买东西时,都会买九份

也因此得来了九份这一个名字 =)


Spotted a shop selling many crystal so entered out of curiosity ended up all of us actually got one pink crystal bracelet for ourselves which is said to boost love and improve social connection =)

Hope it does bring good things to all the girls!
