In Jiufen, encounter a gentle love story between the mountains and the sea

🌅In Jiufen, encounter a gentle love story between the mountains and the sea In the northeast corner of Taiwan, there is a picturesque mountain town called Jiufen. This small town, which rose to prominence due to its gold mines, is filled with a nostalgic and artistic atmosphere, with stories hidden in every inch of stone steps and every small shop. 🚶‍♀️Stroll along the winding streets, with ancient stone steps underfoot and old-style buildings of varying heights on either side. Red lanterns sway in the wind, as if taking you back in time. You may even see cats lazily lying at the door, basking in the sun. They are the "natives" of Jiufen and the cutest scenery on the streets. 🍡Be sure to try the local snacks in Jiufen, especially the taro balls from A Gan Yi, which are a must-try delicacy. Handmade taro balls are chewy and soft, paired with rich red bean soup and smooth grass jelly, each bite is full of happiness. There's also the sweet peanut roll ice cream, with a crispy outer layer wrapped around delicate ice cream and sweet peanut powder, creating a wonderful taste sensation on the tongue. 🌆In the evening, be sure to find a viewing platform and wait for a stunning sunset. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, sparkling, and the distant Keelung Islet, set against the backdrop of the sunset, looks like an ink painting. At this time, the entire Jiufen is bathed in warm tones, dreamy and illusory. Jiufen is not just a simple tourist attraction, but a haven for the soul, a place where you can find a moment of peace in a noisy world. Here, time seems to slow down, and every breath allows you to feel the gentleness of the years.
