Yin Yang Sea, Taiwan

Taiwan's Jiufen and Yin Yang Sea: An Unexpected Delight for a Lazy Traveler. Using Uber throughout the trip allowed us to avoid queues and crowds, spending most of our time enjoying the ocean views and the aroma of tea in teahouses.

Yin Yang Sea
First, we took a taxi to Yin Yang Sea, one of the most popular photo spots. Although the photos didn't turn out great, the seawater wasn't blue enough, and taking pictures involved risking crossing the road with very short traffic light intervals, basically requiring us to wait for the next light on the other side. There wasn't a safe spot on the opposite side, and large trucks frequently passed by. We originally planned to take the bus to Jiufen, but we waited a long time, and no bus came. The nearby staff were very friendly and helped us check the timetable, explaining that the bus service is sometimes like this, and not every bus comes this way. If you plan to go, be sure to allow plenty of time and be prepared to wait for the bus.

Jiufen
The next day, the weather was clear, and the seawater was exceptionally blue, making it irresistible to take photos. Jiufen Old Street requires walking, and there are many steps to climb. Because we didn't want to queue, we only visited one taro ball shop (Lai Ah Po Taro Balls), and the taro balls were indeed very soft, glutinous, and refreshing. Later, we found a less crowded teahouse with unobstructed ocean views. The Jin Xuan tea was also very delicious, perfect for sitting down, watching the sea, enjoying the breeze, and chatting. It was very relaxing.

Although this trip was relaxed, it was also full of surprises. The sea view of Jiufen and the tranquility of Yin Yang Sea were both unforgettable. If you also want a lazy trip, you might want to consider our itinerary!
