Jiufen Old Street

Talk a walk down Jiufen Old Street at night, and you will be memerised by its beautiful decorations and architecture. The main attraction in Jiufen at night will be the A-Mei Teahouse. Where locals and tourists will flock to, to take pictures and appreciate its beautiful structure. Almost everywhere is decorated with red lanterns, quite beautiful I would recommend dining in at the teahouse for a better view and also good food. It is not easy to get a table during nighttime, so be early or make a reservation to avoid disappointment. It's not really accessible as there are stairs everywhere.

Jiufen Old Street should be a must-visit for visitors to Taipei. The area was once a gold mining town but now is more famous for its teahouses and scenic views of the mountains and sea. It also apparently inspired the Japanese movie Spirited Away, so there are lots of shops selling Studio Ghibli souvenirs. It is over an hour from the central parts of Taipei, but we found a direct bus here from Ximen station. #timetotravel #taiwan #taipei #jiufenoldstreet

Never thought that I will be visiting this Spirited Away vibe place call JiouFen 九份，there is an old street here to explore around. Great mountainous area to grab a good photo. Plenty of tea house around for people to chill over and admire the scenery. The only tiring thing is there are many stairs to climb. Food to try, a-zhu peanut ice cream roll, Amei tea house and Lai A-po Yu Wan (taro balls) ! Best season to visit will be summer as Autumn to Spring do expect rain. Remember to bring umbrellas ! #jiufenoldstreet #Ameiteahouse #newtaipeicity #newtaipeicity #youtohbindou

Situated in the county of Rueifang, Jiufen is seated in the mid valley.. take the shuttle bus from rueifang train station or a taxi up. Journey takes about 45mins.
