Special beauty of Jiufen

Nestled on a hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Jiufen offers breathtaking views where foggy mountains embrace the rooftops and narrow alleys, while the vast sea stretches beyond. From teahouses and balconies, visitors can admire golden sunsets and drifting mists — a scene like a traditional Chinese painting. Originally a gold mining town during the Japanese era, Jiufen fell into quiet obscurity after the mines closed. In recent decades, it’s revived as a cultural destination. The sense of nostalgia and timelessness still lingers in every narrow stairway and aged wooden shop. #awesomepic
