We travelled to Hsin Chu in the wee hours of the morning, and returned to Taipei after noon to the scenic mountainous region of Mao Kong, where visitor can take gondolas from Taipei to Mao Kong. This area is filled with tea plantations and most of them served good tea with snacks. We also visited Shen Keng for their famous 'smelly beancurd' and had a super duper great dinner before calling it a day.
