Thank you to those people who have voiced out their opinions.
Take a small basic kit. It is your honeymoon and there will be other more important things.
Definitely will enjoy my honeymoon.. but i would like to have some nice photographs for memories..
I suggest Jiu Fen (九份
. It's up in the mountain so you can get very nice bird eyes view and the shops there will be interesting to shoot at.
You need to take a short train ride to Rui Fang (Hope I spell correctly) and change to cab to go up the mountian.
Hmm.. can consider.. but other than mountain trekking and nice scenery, is there anything else over there?
Is your wife a photographer? If not, suggest to cater to her requirements and balance out the holiday....
If you are mainly around Taipei, and do not wish to make day trips out of the city, these are what I understand to be the more accessible scenic locations that I can think of:
Dan Shui Harbour at sunset
Taipei 101 from one of the mountains, think Elephant Mountain and Lion Mountain offer good views if I do not remember wrong, do note that good view requires trekking up the mountain, but the paths are moderate/easy in terms of difficulty
Taipei 101 nearby there is a pedestrian bridge which gives you a good view of traffic trails + 101
For day trips, there is:
Yeh Liu Geopark - chockful of tourists though
Various parts of the Taiwan Coast in the Jiufen/Jinshan/Ruifang area, e.g. Gui Hou Harbour, Quan Tou (Fist) Rock are some more noteable locations
Jiu Fen township itself
You can google for "Taipei Taxi Driver" to find out reviews of some guides in Taipei to bring you out for day trip out of Taipei (in Taipei don't need la, so easy)... Day trip ~ 3500 TWD for 2 IIRC... Meeky Yang comes highly recommended, can find his contact + handphone number easily enough on Tripadvisor.
Hope this helps.
My wife is not a photographer.. yet. She is interested in photography but have not get her camera yet. So she is okay with me taking photographs as long as i go to her places that she want to visit. :bsmilie:
Dan Shui Harbour at sunset - Roughly what time is their sunset over there?
Taipei 101 from one of the mountains, think Elephant Mountain and Lion Mountain offer good views if I do not remember wrong, do note that good view requires trekking up the mountain, but the paths are moderate/easy in terms of difficulty - can consider. My wife loves trekking just for nice scenery.
Taipei 101 nearby there is a pedestrian bridge which gives you a good view of traffic trails + 101 - okie.. will take note..
Yeh Liu Geopark - chockful of tourists though
Various parts of the Taiwan Coast in the Jiufen/Jinshan/Ruifang area, e.g. Gui Hou Harbour, Quan Tou (Fist) Rock are some more noteable locations
Jiu Fen township itself - okay will take note and discuss with my wife whether she wants to go anot

book a cab that cover 野柳,十份天灯,十份瀑布,九份,黄金瀑布. so that u have a driver n u can bring along tripod and put stuff u bought along the way as well... my recent trip in march we booked a cab as well, cost about 3200-3500NT for a day.
other places u can go walk romantically is 淡水 and 渔人码头.
travel light and enjoy the honeymoon.
Hmm.. like what i reply to edutilos- above.. we prefer to walk ourselves but will take note of those places that you recommended..
