Filming location of the movie 'Secret that can't be told', Danshui 🌳🌊 I usually enjoy watching Taiwanese movies, so when I go to Taiwan, I have to go to the filming location! This is Danshui Damgang Middle School~~! It became famous as the filming location of the movie 'Secret that can't be told', but I went there on the weekend because it was only open on weekends! The movie wasn't filmed at just one school, so I couldn't see all the scenes from the movie in person, but I was really satisfied with that alone🥲 I watched the movie 'Secret that can't be told' again a week before my trip to Taiwan, so it left a lasting impression👍🏻 I went in the summer and couldn't walk around properly because of the heat, but it was a really beautiful place😍 #TaiwanTravel #MovieFilmingLocation #DanshuiMiddleSchool #Danshui #JinliUniversity #Secretthatcan'tbetelled #LifeShotPlace #LifeTravelPlace

Freshwater Stables Street, surprises constantly! Walk in the old street of Tamsui, an old-fashioned, squat-style, Japanese-style old building, as if you are telling the story of the town... Street, to the square where Zhongzheng Road and Sanmin meet, the statue in the center is Dr. Ma Wei! He is a Canadian missionary. He was a freshwater missionary in 1872 and opened a hospital and school. He has made great contributions to the modernization of Taiwan! The entrance of Ma Ma Street is a two-storey shop with exotic style. At first glance, it is a comic shop, but it is actually an Italian shoe store! This style has really adapted me for a long time! Compared to the freshwater chapel at the Markham Street landmark, the heart-shaped tile on the square opposite the church with the frontal pattern of the chapel is full of eyeballs. At first, no one noticed, wait for me to shoot. After the end, many people also took pictures is such a place that will surprise you everywhere, a casual small scene will also make people happy.

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #Taiwan #FebruaryTravelSupportEvent I went from Taipei to Danshui!! I also visited Danshui Jinli University and went to the Weilunmatou Observatory to watch the sunset Danshui was a quiet and peaceful place, unlike downtown Taipei! It's great for viewing the ocean.

#January travel support event #Taiwan #February travel support event I personally like the movie Secret that can't be told so much I watched it more than 3 times and I also like playing the piano in the movie OST But it was even cooler when I actually saw Jinri University I was looking forward to it because it's a filming location for my favorite movie, but it's such a pretty university just to look at!

#newyearnewtrip Tamsui Wenhua A-Gei feels like stepping into a piece of Tamsui’s history. Tucked on Zhenli Street, right next to Tamkang Senior High School, this old-school eatery has a charm that's both unpretentious and warm. It’s the kind of place where time seems to slow down, and you can almost feel the generations of locals who’ve passed through its doors, carrying with them stories and memories of this little corner of the world. The specialty here, A-gei, is simple yet unforgettable—crispy tofu skin stuffed with glass noodles, drenched in a sweet chili sauce. It’s not just food; it’s an experience, a connection to the local culture that’s woven into every bite. While you can find A-gei at many places in Tamsui, there’s something about this spot that makes it feel more authentic, more tied to the rhythm of the town. And then there's the Jay Chou Set. For many, it’s the ultimate homage to the Taiwanese singer who once frequented this place during his school days. It’s a cozy little meal—A-gei, fish ball soup with three hearty fish balls, and a meat bun. The soup is deceptively small but bursting with flavor, and the meat bun adds a nice contrast to the textures, balancing the lightness of the tofu with something heartier. You can adjust the spice levels to suit your taste, making it a meal that feels just right. The vibe of the place is homey—long tables, old newspaper clippings, and memorabilia of Jay Chou that add a touch of nostalgia. Even the journey here feels like part of the experience—it's a bit of a hike up the hill, but it’s worth the trip.

📍 Danshui Port 🏨 Unique charm of this place: Danshui is not a sea but a river, but the river is large enough to form a port. Perhaps because of this, the atmosphere of the port located along the river is wonderful, and it is the best place to relax while looking at the river. Small fishing boats and yachts are anchored around the port, making it great for taking pictures, and if you visit during sunset, you can enjoy an even more emotional atmosphere. 📝 My review: There are many places to sit and rest along the river, so it is a place where you can have a great time just sitting there. There are also many emotional small shops around, so you can rest while looking at the river outside, or you can go into a cafe or restaurant and spend some leisurely time. In particular, the sunset spreading over the river was so beautiful that it felt like time had stopped. #ChinaTravel

📍 Oxford Church at Fort San Domingo 🏨 Unique Charm: If you visit Fort San Domingo, you must also stop by the nearby Oxford Church! As one of Tamsui's historical buildings, it is an impressive structure built with red bricks, just like Fort San Domingo. The European architectural style stands out, and it blends beautifully with the surrounding greenery, creating a vintage atmosphere. It is not just a religious building but also a symbol of the influx of Western culture and history in Tamsui. 📝 My Impressions: The Oxford Church is as beautiful as Fort San Domingo with its red brick architecture! I thought it was just an old building, but seeing it in person, the architectural details are very intricate and grand. Especially, taking photos in front of the church naturally creates a classic vibe, making it a perfect spot for memorable shots. It is not just a tourist attraction but a great place to quietly explore and feel the traces of history.

Additionally, there are plenty of shaded areas, making it a perfect spot to take breaks and walk at a relaxed pace. This path along the Tamsui River offers such beautiful scenery that you'll want to walk it all day long. 📝 My Experience: Walking here felt like more than just visiting a tourist spot; it was a chance to see the lives of the local people up close. The many red brick buildings unique to Tamsui made the walking trail feel like an emotional space in itself. As you walk along the river, there are plenty of benches to rest on, making it convenient to take breaks. Many people were riding bikes or quietly strolling, so it wasn't crowded, allowing for a leisurely time. It felt like the journey itself was the destination, rather than just walking towards a specific place.

📍 Tamsui MRT Park 🏨 Unique Charm: The best healing spot in Tamsui where you can enjoy a leisurely bike ride! As soon as you step out of Tamsui MRT Station, you'll find a spacious park with a long and wide walking path along the river, perfect for walking or biking. The beautiful scenery along the riverside makes it a great place to spend a quiet time, and visiting during sunset offers an even more emotional atmosphere. 📝 My Experience: The park is conveniently located right outside Tamsui Station. The long walking path along the riverside is great for a leisurely walk, and renting a bike makes it even more refreshing! The river is right next to the path, allowing you to enjoy a serene atmosphere with a cool breeze. On clear days, the sunlight sparkling on the river is stunning. Especially, walking along the riverside during sunset feels like being in a movie.

If you like cycling and don’t want your day to be too tiring, Xindian 新店 to Tamsui 淡水cycling route along the riverbank is perfect for everyone who wants some outdoor exercise and beautiful views at the same time.

It is the perfect time and perfect place to watch the sunset on the boat to Bali 八里. During this time, the sky will turn into the perfect pink color. This is also my favorite color, and it always marks as a perfect highlight of the trip with friends. At Bali八里, you can also walk along the river to enjoy the view. Then, I’ll take the boat again and head back to Tamsui old street to have dinner.

#newyearnewtrip Grandma Fresh Milk Mochi (麻吉奶奶鮮奶麻糬) in Tamsui is one of those hidden gems that feels like a warm, local secret. Tucked away from the busy streets, this small shop offers a fresh twist on the traditional mochi, swapping out the usual glutinous rice flour for fresh milk, creating a soft, chewy texture that practically melts in your mouth. The milk-based mochi, served cold, is a refreshing departure from the firmer versions you might find elsewhere. The menu is simple, but each option feels like a comforting indulgence. The cold milk mochi is the star, served with toppings like peanut, black sesame, Oreo, coconut red bean, or matcha powder—each one enhancing the soft, creamy mochi. For those who prefer something warmer, there’s the option of the same milk mochi served in a hot bubble tea soup, with variations like black sugar bubble tea or peanut with milk, adding a cozy twist to the treat. What makes this experience even more special is the fun of eating the mochi itself. Behind the menu, you’ll find instructions on how to slice the soft, stretchy mochi with chopsticks, making it a playful and interactive part of the dessert. The mochi’s delicate texture remains intact even after sitting for a while, stretching and bending with each cut, inviting you to share and savor the moment. Just a short walk from Tamsui Old Street, Grandma Fresh Milk Mochi offers a peaceful, unpretentious break from the crowds. The shop may be small, but its dessert is a comforting, local delight that feels like an essential part of the Tamsui experience. It’s not just about the flavors—it’s about the joy of discovering something simple and satisfying, a true taste of the area that leaves a lasting impression.

#newyearnewtrip Asahi Huuhu is a hidden gem nestled along the riverbank in Tamsui, offering a cozy escape with breathtaking views of the Tamsui River and the lush mountains beyond.

The café is renowned for its shaved ice creations, a refreshing and satisfying treat. From seasonal fruits to matcha, chocolate, and brown sugar, there’s a flavor for everyone.

For those craving something a little different, Asahi Huuhu also features a creperie unit, offering soft and chewy Japanese-style dessert crepes.

It is located a 3-minute walk from Danshui Station. It is a popular restaurant where there is always a waiting line when you visit during meal times. Heukjeonbanjeom's signature menu is galbi-donbap and majangmyeon. A large piece of rib is placed on top of the galbi-donbap. The sauce is sweet, so it is delicious when eaten with the vegetables in the donbap. Majangmyeon has peanuts, minced meat, cucumber, etc. I thought the peanut sauce would be greasy, but the spicy pepper helps to reduce the greasy taste. 📍Location: No. 10, Lane 11, Zhongzheng Rd, Tamsui District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 251 ⏰Opening hours: Daily 11:00-20:30 #Overseas travel #Food conquest #Tamsui travel #Tamsui
