Jiufen Old Street, the famous Golden Mountain City, proves that Taiwan was also an island of treasure in earlier times.
Jiufen Old Street became prosperous due to the gold rush brought by the gold mines. It also declined due to the depletion of gold mines.
Finally, thanks to the tragic city movie directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, it regained its glory days. Tourists from all over the world come in an endless stream. Every holiday, it is even more crowded and lively. There are many delicious snacks waiting for you to taste.
Many years later, few people probably remember this movie now! But the excitement in Jiufen was maintained! It is lively during the day...but at night it has a quiet beauty, especially the afterglow of the sunset. Spread over the beautiful bay and Keelung Island in the distance, while you sip coffee and admire the sunset. You will forget all your worries
