"Travel Notes" Taichung MRT

When I was reading the article yesterday, I saw the report " Taichung MRT is running a trial operation for free for one month from 11/16. Where do I get off to go to Rainbow Village and Yizhong Business District? 》

Damn, I was suddenly itchy because I was afraid of death.

Originally, I made up my mind and waited for half a year to pass without any accident before I went to take a ride . As soon as I heard the villagers say that there is a pink carriage , my sanity line suddenly broke and I rushed over (covering my face).

First of all, because I was too improvised, I didn’t realize until I got to the station that I had put on my house clothes, the clothes with the surprised faces of the cartoon characters, and I really wanted to dig a hole in the ground on the spot. I don't have to pull it, just cover my house girl with a coat (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

Originally, I thought it was nothing, but when I saw the MRT station, I was moved.

I heard about the present from the elementary school, and it has been built for hundreds of years...

The one that can only be seen by taking a passenger train to Taipei and Kaohsiung, or by flying to a foreign country...

That "MRT" is actually right in front of my eyes! ! ! இдஇ இдஇ இдஇ

As long as you are local Taichung people, your mood is probably as complicated as mine (laughs). And I, a dead country bumpkin, has been shooting crazy, the uncle in the station is very good, and he told me where to shoot well, which made me want to hide in the hole again (the countryman is me QQ)

But what makes me very gratified is that there are so many people like me... The photo shoot is like something, and seeing the mother bring the child, the child sees the MRT carriage and says, "Mom, the bus is coming!" The mother next to her laughed and taught her child that this is a MRT, not a bus.

Think about it, the term "MRT" has never been used in our life, and now it is finally entering our life circle, and it may gradually become one of our common words. However...for those of us who are used to locomotives, we may use it occasionally, but for those who are wheelchairs and push strollers, the MRT is really convenient.

By the way, I was actually hit by the front pedal of the wheelchair, but I can't say anything (it's just that my heel hurts 〒︿〒)

By the way, I didn't take the legendary pink car on this trip (crying and biting the handkerchief), but a bunch of "advertising" cars too much (´_ゝ`)

This kind of tunnel feeling, every time I take all kinds of transportation, I like to take this angle ( • ̀ω•́ )

horrible experience

However, when we went to the North Terminal, I and the people next to me saw that the bird actually flew into the track line of sight (because the track construction over there is hollow, and the bird can fly in), we in the car were shocked, but fortunately the bird responded Soon, or else...(Damn...)(((ﾟдﾟ)))(((ﾟдﾟ)))(((ﾟдﾟ)))

Northern terminus Beitun terminus

What can I say about Beitun Station, next to it is the famous "replenishment" center. This kind of thing that requires a membership card to enter and check out is not in my daily life list. It should be said that this kind of center is suitable for the consumption type of "bulk purchase" and "multiple people". My "single person" and "small amount" are more suitable for Carrefour, Aimai, and RT-Mart.

But I saw someone buying the pizza inside, holding the oversized pizza majestically, and entering the MRT carriage full of momentum, it was amazing (a little regret for not taking pictures www)

I really know how to pick the time, and the crowds are too crowded... I just walk around with everyone, take photos, and look at the scenery.

Interestingly, it may be that young people don’t seem to feel anything, but feel that there is nothing unusual about “just one more transportation option”, and they silently swipe their phones.

But like me and other older brothers and sisters, they will be so excited that they take turns taking pictures, and they will seriously discuss that the MRT is fully automatic and driverless.

This is the age gap...

In addition, the driverless car always felt that this kind of "starting" was a bit "too rude", and I saw three times people fall over the car (sweat). I was terrified at first. Human operation always has a "gentle feeling", and the machine only needs to be "precise and precise".

Cause of dead eyes

Most of the staff at the MRT station are in a state of "dead eyes", and a sense of powerlessness about to fall to the ground is clearly revealed in their eyes. Because there are a lot of people asking questions, the staff will ask very seriously: "Which station are you going to?"

Staff: "..." Even though I couldn't see the whole expression with the mask on, I could still feel a suppressed emotion burning violently in my chest.

Next to me, I wanted to say, "Sister, what are you asking... 囧"

It's a virtue not to ask questions that make your fists hard (´_ゝ`)

I usually forget to say goodbye

Damn it! ! ! I didn't even get on the pink car, and the only thing I saw was running on the track opposite me! ! ! I'm furious! ! ! ╰(〒〒)╯

Appreciation from another angle

Is this actually an open-air stage in Wenxin Park? I seem to have been there once. But not very impressed. It turns out that from this point of view, it really looks like a beetle-like thing in Hayao Miyazaki's work (hey).

In addition, Wenxinlu... It really is the concentration of a bunch of religious organizations. Just looking at the exterior of the building, you can see that this is Taoism, this is Buddhism, this is a mosque, what is this... Some are too sensitive to say (´_ゝ`)

South Terminal High Speed Rail Taichung Station

The northern terminus is for shopping and shopping, while the southern terminus is the “High Speed Rail Taichung Station”, a three-in-one transportation hub that gathers “train”, “high-speed rail” and “MRT”. Finally, the entire transportation system is integrated.

But the staff inside is really miserable, because a bunch of people can't understand the direction from east to west, and they have to broadcast and direct there until the end of the world (Khan).

I just thought: it may be easier to have a sign on the spot to give birth to an instruction...

Myths for Sightseeing Advice

When I saw some sightseeing suggestions and the like, I felt that it was a bit deceiving foreign tourists, because it was obvious that I had to take a bus or take a long way to the scenic spot, but I just put it in the recommendation... I think that when I went to other places, I was fooled by the tourist advice several times, and I walked until my leg broke.

At this time, it is safer to look at the map to confirm the distance, and use the applet to view the traffic information.

crowd section

The two stations of the high-speed rail and the municipal government are crowded with people, and the other traffic is really very small.

The high-speed rail is a transportation hub, and many cars going to Sun Moon Lake or nearby areas gather here.

The city government has dual department stores (Shin Kong Mitsukoshi and Da Yuan Bai) and the Opera House.

Other Daqing and Songzhu still have a little traffic, because you can transfer to the train station, and other points really need a bus or walk for a while.

Consider taking a ride

I travel by motorcycle myself, so I will consider the MRT if it is not easy to park, so... Probably the high-speed rail Taichung Station will take the MRT (there will be luggage and the like when traveling, and the MRT is more convenient). It is much more convenient to ride a motorcycle at other stations.

Enjoy the scenery

I took a few photos along the way. I wanted to shoot in a line, but a bunch of big brothers and sisters wearing masks and sunglasses rushed over with cameras and mobile phones excitedly. I immediately gave up the photography throne (sweat). Just recorded a little bit.

In the end, I was so hungry because I was standing all the time. I finished my meal directly at the high-speed rail station, and then took the MRT back to Daqing Station to get my car back, thus ending the Taichung MRT trip.

Overall...the practicality is good for me, but I believe that many people will need this transportation option. Although buses and trains are still much more convenient, the MRT is more integrated with some facilities and routes.

Although some people complain that some of them are a bit of a waste, but who knows that it may become another key area in a few years (laughs). However, the scenery along the road has given me a new understanding of the development and distribution of Taichung. I have only discovered many mysterious buildings now.

Well~ I have a chance to take a look at it again later. Study what secrets those buildings hide (evil smile)(ゝ∀･)(ゝ∀･)(ゝ∀･)
