#newyearnewtrip #travelanywhere During our day trip to Wulai, we stumbled upon TONYX, a unique café that quickly became one of the most memorable stops of our journey. Specializing in coffee, the café offers a minimalist yet inviting atmosphere, and we were immediately drawn to the attention to detail in both the coffee and the setting. The owner roasts beans from Ethiopia, Colombia, and other regions, and the difference in quality was immediately evident in the rich aroma and deep flavor of each cup. The coffee wasn’t just good; it was expertly crafted, offering a perfect balance of smoothness and complexity. To reach the café, we made our way up a few flights of stairs, but the effort was easily rewarded. As we entered, we were greeted by a breathtaking view. The café’s floor-to-ceiling windows looked out over the Wulai Waterfalls, the perfect backdrop for sipping coffee. The waterfall, cascading gently down the rocks, added a sense of tranquility to the experience. The calming sound of the water and the soft background music inside created an atmosphere that felt both refreshing and peaceful. It was the kind of moment you wanted to savor, where everything around you seemed to slow down and become a bit more serene. The vibe of TONYX was warm and unpretentious, with an atmosphere that made it easy to relax and unwind. The interior was thoughtfully designed to complement the natural beauty outside, and the whole space felt like a quiet retreat from the world. Even the small details, like the immaculate cleanliness of the restrooms, were a testament to the care the owner put into creating a high-quality experience. TONYX wasn’t just a place to grab a cup of coffee—it was a moment to reconnect with the present, to pause, reflect, and enjoy the simple beauty of nature. It felt like an authentic, local experience that went beyond just great coffee. If you find yourself in Wulai, this café is a must-visit. It offered a perfect blend of exceptional coffee and an unforgettable setting that made our trip all the more memorable.

First trip in Taipei

It was a fairly quick bus ride from Taipei Station or Xindian Station. The river was a beautiful green color and it was really pretty. We took a small train to the top of the mountain, and the journey was also very enjoyable. There was a waterfall at the top, which was soothing. If you walk instead of taking the train on the way back, you can discover other waterfalls and feel the beauty of nature. #FreeTourism

#Get a discount without relying on luck. Waterfalls near Taipei. Very easy to get to by taking a bus from the city. Very convenient. You can walk up there, but it's quite far. The most popular and less tiring way is by tram. We walked up, but an old lady rode a motorbike and invited us to go up. Taiwanese people are so nice. There is a cable car up there to see the view and a restaurant. But it's quite quiet up there. But it's still beautiful. 👍🏼 The water is clear and blue. It's very inviting. But they don't allow swimming. What a shame.

#cherryblossom2024 #waterfalls include this spot on your list. Must visit wulai waterfalls here in taiwan.

#Travelwithtrip2024 Travel from Taipei Man, walk to exit M8, turn left, walk to the end of the street, cross the street, turn left, see the bus stop, wait for bus line 849, tap the Easy card, and find a seat. I recommend sleeping because it takes a long time. When you get there, you will have the energy to walk. When you get there, if you want to use the bathroom, get off the bus and there is a building on the opposite side where you can take the bus. When you are ready, prepare to walk straight ahead. You will see a small restaurant and shop. Cross the sky bridge, look straight ahead, and walk up the stairs. Those who are fit can walk along the waterfall. But for those who are not fit and have bad knees like us, take the bus. 50 is fun and beautiful. When you get there, you can walk and take pictures as you please. If you are hungry, there are restaurants and cafes. We went in winter, but it was hot on the day we went, probably in our early twenties, so there was not much water. But it was easy to walk. Those who want to see a lot of water must come before the cold. After the trip, those who like pickled bamboo shoots recommend Uncle's shop at the bridge. 3 packs for 200. Delicious, crispy, and sweet. If you don't know what to eat, try the scallion pancake. You have to season it, otherwise it will be bland. Apply just the right amount, otherwise it will be too salty and your kidneys will fail. When you are done, go wait for the bus at the same place. You have to queue. If you see people sitting in a row in the pavilion, that is the queue. If the pavilion is full, stand in line beside the pavilion. If you want to continue sightseeing and have energy, you can take the bus and get off at the BTS station and continue. Oh, I almost forgot. When you are done sightseeing, try to look at the cool uncle. He is very cute and eye-catching. He likes to sit and chill, looking at his phone near the taxi stand. He drives a taxi, is kind and friendly, but you have to speak Chinese with him.
