這條街上有很多漂亮的商店和美味的食物。我們買了一些甜點，吃了牛肉麵。很喜歡這次體驗！唯一的缺點是街道非常狹窄，因此如果人很多的話，行走可能會很困難。

陰陽海

沙灘和海岸

芝小姐

喜歡看海的朋友，可以踩點北海岸的瑞芳區的陰陽海，看了很舒心！為什麼叫陰陽海～因為附近的金瓜石山上富有大量的黃鐵礦，在風化形成氫氧化鐵吸附泥沙而成黃褐色懸浮物，才有陰陽海的黃藍漸層獨特美景。天然礦物呈現黃褐色，與外海方向的藍色海水形成鮮明對比，是一種海水在視覺上呈現兩種色澤的特殊地貌，附近的水㓓洞也要去踩點（圖6）還有建於1933年的十三層遺址（圖7）也要去看看附近有pizza 點，味美價廉，谷歌一下很有名。➡️新北市瑞芳區濓新里（陰陽海）

板橋南雅夜市

Tom Hung

津渡橋 - 白色人字型橋身的津渡橋，位於湳仔溝南興橋至大觀橋河道段間，橫跨河段最長為56公尺，串聯了左右兩岸自行道及湳雅夜市，是湳仔溝特色地標之一。由於原橋面照明略顯昏暗，經實地勘查後，用493盞LED燈及12盞全彩投光燈提升橋面步道及橋下照明，更利於維護行人安全，同時也展現津渡橋之美，燈光隨時間轉變，投射出七彩絢爛的漸層燈光，並搭配自行車道光廊，以提高休閒樂趣及美化視覺景觀。
