Since this is the last station, they will send us to the bus stop and took the bus to the Taichung Train Station.
Bus to Taichung Train Station
We waited one hour at the bus stop, taking public transport is more troublesome and time consuming. At Feng Yuan(豐原)” bus station, look for another couple to share the cab fare, NT3000, ($130- 4 persons for 1 cab) for whole day from Taichung-Shinshe-Taichung, cut down the waiting time and go for more places in Shinshe.
Transport Expenses from Taichung Train Station to Shinshe ( return ) :NT250 +NT250+NT100+NT100+NT100+NT100= NT900 ($38 for 2 persons ) Next we went to 逢甲夜市-FengJia Night Market, the largest and popular night market in Taichung   We took bus 33 or 35, bus stop right in front of Taichung station, around 45mins, bus fare NT60 ( $2.6 ) We ordered the sea shell food for NT50 ( $2.2 ), tasty and cheap. Fengjia Night Market- many stalls selling foods and snack with reasonable price, visit the market with an empty stomach. |
