#tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน Location: Tingtao Café, Ruifang Café, Taipei, Taiwan Atmosphere: The view along the way up to this café is very beautiful. I feel very grateful to have this café. This café is located far away. After hiking for a while, I found a café with a beautiful view and where I can sit, drink, and relax. It's so fulfilling. Location: 224071, Taiwan, New Taipei City, Ruifang District, Bitou Rd, 99號之三

🌟Environmental features hima cafe | leisure • Coffee is a good place to relax, and the interior design is simple and comfortable. The first floor of the cafe is an internal area, suitable for gathering with friends or enjoying coffee alone. There is a tatami area on the second floor, and you need to take off your shoes to enter, adding to the Japanese style. 🍹 Delicious drinks and desserts My friend and I ordered a glass of iced Americano, which was also paired with chocolate whipped cream rolls. The combination of the two was very pleasant. There are also quite a variety of hand-brewed coffee options. I chose Colombian Pink Bourbon, which has a unique and intoxicating taste. 🌄 Magnificent second floor view The view from the second floor is truly amazing! Since the cafe is built against a mountain, the endless mountains, sea and clouds can be seen outside the glass on the second floor, making people feel the magnificence of nature. However, because it is so popular, there are so many people. It is recommended that you line up early, because there are only 6 small round tables on the upper floor. If you are late, you will have to wait slowly. 🌼 Conclusion hima cafe is not only a great place to enjoy coffee, but also ideal for enjoying the view. Whether you are gathering with friends, quietly enjoying the scenery, or you are a photo enthusiast, this place will surely satisfy you. Words and words cannot express how extraordinary this place is, go for it! 📍 Address: No. 18, Shuqi Road, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 224 🕰️Business hours: Closed on Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday to Friday 11:00-18:00, Saturday and Sunday 11:00-17:00 💸 Per capita consumption: 200-400 TWD #TaipeiTravel #coffeeshop #seaviewcafé

The weather is great, and the vast ocean combined with the Yin-Yang Sea isn't it stunning? It feels like being in Japan 🇯🇵 Wearing the Orion T-shirt bought in Okinawa makes it even more authentic 🤣 There are three places in Taiwan with the Yin-Yang Sea phenomenon 🌊 The turtle head of Turtle Island in Toucheng Township, Yilan County; Huanggang in Jinshan District, New Taipei City; and the world-famous Shui Nan Dong Yin-Yang Sea. 📷 Stairs next to Lian Dong Elementary School

#newyearadventure #nanyarock #nanya #ruifang #taiwan #seaview #rockformation #attractions #lookout If you are travelling to Keelung area via public transport you can stop by the many scenic lookout spots here in Ruifang District. Most of the parking here are free, so you need not worry! One of the popular lookout here is this Nanya Scenic lookout spot located at 224, Taiwan, New Taipei City, Ruifang District. If you are interested in a morning hike, this place has too, and the coastal trail will bring you towards the popular Nanya Rock as well which is located very near. The coastal winds here can be quite strong, so if you are afraid of the cold during winter, I recommend to bring a jacket at least.

There s a good variety of local delicious food which you can find at the bottom of Jiufen mountain. We find it very nice because there s proper seating for a relaxing meal compared to the cramped seating area at jiufen. can stop by for a break before heading to jiufen. and since its dong zhi, we also had some delicious tang yuan. The oyster omelet and mee sua are also both very good!

Experience being a mine digger at Taiwan Jing guang Shi museum. The golden ecological museum showcases the history of the area where the people in the past have to dig the tunnels on their own. During the tour, you will be able to watch a 20 minute video of how life used to be in the past. Next, you can visit a mine field and walk through the small tunnel to experience it yourself first hand. It is a very good experience to understand how the past people live. Be sure to reach here before 4pm as they will be closing at about 5pm. #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers

#passionpassport Ruifang is a coastal township that developed on the mining trade. Today these towns attract visitors with historic charm, the tranquility of the mountains, and sweeping views of the sea. To walk along the steep stone stepped alleys here is to travel back to yesteryear Taiwan. Between urban hubs lie spectacular natural sights, with extensive walking trails meandering through scenic terrain. Jiufen Old Street provides insights into culture traditions. Browse the many shops and stalls, stopping for a meal at one of the cafés or restaurants. Sip a hot beverage from a charming teahouse and try the sweet potato boiled soup. Learn about a popular local activity in the Jiufen Kite Museum and stop at the Jiufen Visitor Center by the police station for advice about daytrips and any events taking place. #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations

#passionpassport Mt. Keelung is the shortest trail near Juifen Old Street. Yet the coastal and mountain views on the peak are still stunning. It's easy to hike and you can also hike to the east peak. This is a hike that you can't miss when visiting Juifen and Ruifang in Taiwan. there are so many amazing trails with the spectacular mountains and ocean views, Ruifang District (where Jiufen and Jinguashih are located) is a heaven for hikers. I've been hiking for a few years, but there are still many trails in Ruifang that I haven’t got a chance to explore. #beautifuldestinations #travelinspiration #traveladdict #passionpassport

#San Diao Ling #San Diao Ling Waterfall Trail #Shan Yu Coffee #Kuan Ge's Place Yesterday I suddenly wanted to go to Sandiao Ling, which has been very popular recently. I checked online and found that it was only a 25-minute drive from my home, so I decided to drive there to take a look. There were few people and cars along the way, and the entire trail was almost reserved for me and my two dogs. We walked slowly and took pictures slowly, and accidentally walked to the best shooting spot at Sandiaoling Railway Station. I thought to myself that I must bring my SLR out next time to practice taking pictures. Suddenly I really enjoy this quiet afternoon. I can temporarily put aside my worries and forget about the epidemic. It really makes me feel refreshed. As I was walking, I saw the recently popular Shanyu Coffee. Next to it was the Sandiao Coal Mine site. The red brick house next to it used to be the inspection room before entering the mine, and now it has a sign that says "Shanyu". But seeing that there were still quite a few customers inside, I didn't want to go over to join in the fun. But the tung flowers falling to the ground made me very happy! There were also a few customers at Brother Kuan's place, which was only a few steps away. However, there was a little rain falling, so I was afraid of an afternoon thunderstorm, so I hurried to get in the car and go home. It is worth taking a train to visit this place again and experience it slowly. It really feels like you have gone back in time and space. It is very special! #花赏攻略 #Afternoontea推介 #Goodplaceforfamily #Goodplaceforsummer

A 310-meter viewing platform is built along the edge of the Shen'ao fishing port, with a 270-degree view of the sea.

At night, the trail is transformed into a beautiful light sculpture, rich colors form light waves, intertwined with fishing fire, Golden Mountain City, starlight shining more romantic every night, making people forget the hustle and bustle of the city. #Summer Good Places #Summer Food Recommendations

This was one of my most magical trips. The Pingxi Lantern Festival is one of the most awe-inspiring events on the Taiwanese calendar. Although the fireworks at the Taipei 101 building help ring in the New Year with a boom, this festival, which also takes place the first day of the lunar new year, is a much more spiritual affair. The lanterns—many of which are covered with words, pictures, and prayers—represent the hopes and wishes of the people who release them. Take the train from Taipei Main Station to Ruifang Station, and then transfer to the Pingxi line, which, as luck would have it, brings you directly to Pingxi. The trains are cheap, but during lantern festival, they can get quite packed. Visitors can also take a bus or hire a taxi, but traffic can be heavy, so the train tends to be the best option. #tigeryear2022 #cny #lanterns

In little more than two years, Houtong, which is located 35km east of Taipei in Ruifang district, managed to reinvent itself as a complete cat village. Today, more than 200 cats live in Houtong and a tourist industry has emerged with shops, cafes and restaurants catering to the many visitors who descend on this feline frontier every weekend. How to get there : The easiest way to get here is by train from Taipei Station. Take the Yilan line (most often the terminus will be Su’ao) and simply get off in Houtong about an hour later. #unforgettableexperiences #local #cat #taiwan #travelinspiration

After arriving at Taiwan Railway Houtong Station, you can see many signs related to the cat village on the overpass as soon as you exit the station. A cat village guide map is also provided for tourists to visit, and there are many cute signs along the way. This is a place where you can spend the whole day, and there are many cute cats here. #Hot summer destination

Taipei, Jiufen, super beautiful small attractions "Small Kamakura" Yin Yanghai this time to go to Jiufen, take the road to check out the small Kamakura in Taiwan: Yin Yanghai, really beautiful on sunny days ! Do not lose the "authentic" Kamakura in Japan! Itinerary: Yinyanghai is next to Jiufen. It is recommended to play with Jiufen; you can also go to the Pingxi train to play together. Transportation: There are buses to Jiuyang Old Street and Ruifang Station to Yinyanghai. Take Bus No. 856 to get off at Shuinongdong, but 856 is really super difficult! One hour and one bus, so I suggest you still take a taxi. We took a taxi from Jiufen Old Street and talked with the driver about the price in advance, 600 Taiwan dollars for the whole journey. The midway driver took us to the Golden Falls to see the yin and yang, let the driver wait a minute, we took about 20 minutes, really embarrassed, but the driver did not complain, and finally sent us to Ruifang station , ride back to Taipei. The best shooting position The best shooting position is shown in Figure 7, which is what the driver told us, because the photographer stands taller and can shoot more seas. There is also a small platform next to it, which can be used to shoot the entire sea, very spectacular. The origin of the name of Yin and Yang Hai Before going to Yinyanghai, I dont know why it is called Yinyanghai. I only know that it is a small Kamakura in Taiwan. When I came here, I understood the second, because the sea here has two colors, half blue, half yellow, and looks very much like yin and yang. Have any questions, please leave a message in the comments, I will reply

The paradise of the comet and the cat-loving person, the monkey cat village monkey monkey cat village is also known as "monkey cat street."

The Ruifang Pingxi Line is a very interesting train line with many interesting stations along the way. The one that the cat lovers must not miss is the monkey. From the train station, you can see all kinds of cats everywhere, so the bridge here is also called the cat bridge. I heard that this place name originated from a nearby cave. There were a large number of apes living in the area, so it was called "monkey hole." During the Japanese occupation period, the local people were rich in coal mines. The locals used mining as their living. They sought for Geely and did not like water in the pit. I can see a few cats without a few steps. Some cats have never been seen before. The walls are also full of cat graffiti. It is a veritable cat village. Pingxi Line Tourist Information: 12.9 km of Pingxi Line, from Sanchaling to Jingtong, hosted by Monkey, Dahua, Ten, Wangu, Lingjia, Pingxi, Jing Tong et al., it is recommended to stop at the Cat Country Monkey, Ten Old Street, Pingxi Skylight, and Jingtong Japanese Ancient Windmill Exhibition.

The Monkey Station is located at the first stop of the Pingxi Line. From Taipei, take the shuttle bus to Ruifang Station, and then take the Pingxi Line. You can also take the Keelung Passenger Transport 808 line from the Ruifang City to the Monkey Station. Here used to be a mine now abandoned into a cat village, everywhere is everywhere, everywhere! Its great to take a coal mine into the mining experience! When you get out of the train station, you will walk through a cat bridge and see the signboard "Welcome to the Cat Village". Next to the signboard is the cute black nose cat webmaster. You can see the pictures of the hand-painted cats everywhere, and you can see the cute postures of the cats. There are also many souvenir shops in the cat village. The recommended cats are cats, cats, cats and monkeys. Here you can also taste the traditional ancient taste, big noodles, a shrimp early noodles, miners noodles are worth a try.

#chinatrip #taiwan #thingstodo #taipei #ruifang #railway #solotrip Stepping off the train at Ruifang Station, I immediately felt the charm of this laid-back yet bustling hub in New Taipei City. Known as the gateway to Jiufen, Shifen, and Houtong Cat Village, this area is more than just a transit stop—it’s a treasure trove of local eats, quaint streets, and hidden gems. I wandered through the Ruifang Old Street, sampling crispy scallion pancakes and sweet taro balls, before hopping on a train to nearby Shifen Waterfall. Whether you’re here for stunning nature, nostalgic alleyways, or a quick snack before your next adventure, Ruifang offers the perfect blend of convenience and discovery—definitely a stop worth exploring!

The Baoshi Mountain Trail in Jinguashi extends all the way to the mountain peak, where you can take photos with a sense of extension. The observation deck offers a 360-degree panoramic sea view of the Yin-Yang Sea in Shui Nan Dong. It is usually frequented by many hiking enthusiasts. The trail is only 166 meters long, making it the shortest scenic trail with a sea view in Taiwan, suitable for the whole family to enjoy together. I love the mountains and forests, and even more, I love food. This time, the indulgent hiking trip was for the nearby secret outdoor forest restaurant~ Gamins!

#fallishere We went for a road trip to the new Taipei area. The journey was very far and it took us more than an hour to reach this beautiful view point. The natural stone statue formed over many centuries, is definitely very magnificent and amazing. Be sure to get your driver to visit this place as you will definitely get a great view from the hilltop. You will also get a birds eye viewpoint of the new Taipei city. Be sure to visit here to take some instagrammable images with your drivers and your friends.

Hidden on the slopes of the road towards Golden Waterfall, there is this humble little cafe. We stumbled upon this hidden gem while researching for food around the region before going to Jiu Fen. The cafe has quite a number of seatings, suitable for large groups. Even it seemed hidden, it was packed during lunch hours. Menu was limited but food was good! We ordered Puttanesca with pork pasta, a pork with pepper pizza, tiramisu for dessert and an iced latte. Food was good in general and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

First, the simplest few reasons: going up a mountain can make you feel happier and healthier because you will be breathing cleaner air, you will be getting the benefits of exercise, you will be enjoying new (enjoying anew) the beauty of nature, and you will, most likely, given the fact that you are hiking or climbing up a mountain, not be actively engaged in (AKA mired in) work or your social life and all the complexities that come with both.

#TaiwanTravel Today, I will introduce you to how to travel to Jiufen by yourself. Start from Taipei Main Station, walk to buy a ticket and check the train schedule at TRA Taipei Station. We chose train 4028, departing at 12.10, taking exactly 40 minutes, arriving at Ruifang Station at 12.50, fare 49NTD. Once you get on the train, you can choose an empty seat and enjoy the beautiful view along the way. The train is very comfortable, so don't fall asleep. Once you arrive at Ruifang Station, if you want to go to Jiufen, you have two options: bus or taxi. Today, we chose taxi because the weather looks like it's going to rain. The taxi stand is on the left outside the station. The fare is 205NTD per car, and it takes about 20-30 minutes to reach Jiufen.
