A visit to Jiufen inspired by "Spirited Away"

I went to Jiufen, where there is a teahouse rumored to be the inspiration for "Spirited Away." To capture the teahouse from that iconic angle, you need to enter the teahouse located directly across from it. However, on the day of my visit, it was fully booked all day... I almost gave up, but decided to negotiate again. Since I was alone, they made a special exception and set up a single seat for me outside. Ideally, a higher floor would offer a better view. I recommend making a reservation in advance.
