a famous sushi booth in the centre of Yingge. It is located in front of the OK Mart, 10 minutes away from train station on foot. Although it looks like just a small booth, there is a big basement seating area. Usually, people order to go, although some dine in the basement. A box of sushi costs NT$25. Other than sushi, they also have miso soup (NT$10), steamed egg (NT$10) and some other typical Taiwanese dishes.
By car
Formosa Highway (Highway #3) runs through the south edge of the district. Take the exit to "ShanHsia/Yingge", and cross the Shanying Bridge.
Almost all attractions are located within a 10-minute walk of the train station. It is an easy walk, though there is also the option of a bus as the Taoyuan buses make a stop at the Yingge Ceramic Museum.
