Danshui is a popular day trip for the Taipei population seeking to getaway from city life for a day. Danshui is located about a 45 minute subway ride away from the apartment. It is at the end of the red line. Danshui is home to a mangrove tree preserve. Our favourite activities to do in Danshui include biking along the water through the forests, walking on the elevated platforms over the crabs, and walking through the street shops and buying 1 foot tall ice cream. In addition to having good ice cream, there are quite a few candy stores and arcades in Danshui. Be warned, Danshui does not have very many indoor activities so it can get very hot. Wear lots of sunscreen and be prepared for heat. If you have time to kill, visit Danshui!
