7/13 Traffic Control Center & Tamshui

The day was a bright sunny day ! Our first ticket was Taipei Traffic Control Center. Just like our new friends, it was also my first time to visit. So everyone was very anticipate . As usual, there were crowds of people at Taipei station.

We saw many intelligent systems. It was fully responsible for the control and management of metro working,surveillance train,information collection and distribution. I felt that Traffic Control Center look like NASA's control center which is shown in the films.

In Traffic Information Center, we watched the video which guided the development and application of Taipei city's transportation.There were eight exhibition areas to show the cutting-edge technology and we could experience how convenient they were! I tried to use Easy Card to activate the simulating cycling itineraries system and take a picture by a big mobile phones(It's a touch-screen operating systems displaying the Taipei city's parking information,bus route and traffic conditions)The camera function made us feel interesting .



These intelligence systems help us to strengthen traffic control and provide traffic information.I couldn't help thinking that I could just stand there then access in Taipei.


Finishing the visit of TCC ,we took the MRT to Tamshui~it was a fascinating place.We walked down the old street and tried to buy some souvenirs.It was a little pity that we just had lunch before (there are many dainty snacks in the old street), but we still went to eat the mango ice.It tasted fresh and good.
On our return way,we walked through the street near the Tamshui river. The scenery was so beautiful that we took many pictures.One of the pictures is funny,we called it "jump".(hay Ivan: you won! you jumped the highest! Ting :you are the best model~)


Later, we got the bus to Tamshui Fisher's Wharf and took the boat to travel the Tamshui River.Pony called it "Blue Road".It is nearly sunset, in addition to the gorgeous view ,there was the jumping fishes.What a amazing!

I think it was a wonderful day (but tired) .Although some place I have ever been there many times, but it was a different experience with different friends. Taipei is a good and fascinating place ~
