Teapot mountain - 挑戰無耳茶壺山

With the past experience, we got ourselves to Taipei Main Station, get through to Platform 4 waiting for our train to RuiFang. The different this time was we were able to use EasyCard instead of purchasing ticket from counter. Since we using EasyCard without reserving for seat, we were standing the whole 40minutes journey till we reached RuiFang station.

hello ~ here we meet again ...

In order to get yourselves to 9Fen or JinGuaShi, you will need to wait for bus across the street, opposite RuiFang station, schedule around15 - 20minutes per bus. We chose the bus to JinGuaShi instead of 9Fen, and ensure that the last station is at 勸濟堂. Entrance to Teapot mountain is located beside this temple. It took around 30minutes to reach the destination.

Basically, it is a very safe trek. Staircase only ma ~ ~ We took our own sweet time climbing stairs. It was a hot day. Of course with this kind of weather, we had a fantastic sea view. There are a lot of stopping point along the trek, we fully utilized all of them.

let's continue

Remaining 110m to the peak. We were at the last stop deciding if we shall continue the last part -> rocks climbing. It was very windy and starts drizzling. My mate decided to have his journey up a little to investigate the area. We did not made it through the rocks climbing area, it was pretty near and I was lazy to move anymore. For the sake of 1.5h to be near the peak, I would like to just enjoy my time at this last stop.

The journey coming down seems to be a lot faster and easier. It was drizzled during our trek down. We never expected that it turned so bad on the next day.
