Jiufen, Taiwan - Jiufen Old Street and Tea Houses HD (2017)
Jiufen, also spelled Jioufen or Chiufen (Chinese: 九份; pinyin: Jiǔfèn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Káu-hūn; literally: nine portions), is a mountain area in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
During the first years of the Qing Dynasty, the isolated village housed nine families, thus the village would request nine portions every time shipments arrived from town. Later Kau-hun (meaning nine portions in Hokkien) would become the name of the village.
Despite the earliest reference to the production of gold in the island dating to 1430, and multiple rediscoveries by early inhabitants, visiting Japanese, Dutch occupiers, and Koxinga's retainers, awareness of the wealth of Taiwan's gold districts did not develop until the late Qing era. In 1890, workmen discovered flakes of gold while constructing the new Taipeh-Kelung railway, and in 1893 a rich placer district was discovered in the hills of Kau-hun that produced several kilograms[a] of gold a day. In the next year, the promise became greater than ever after a Chinese expert with experience gained in California found gold-bearing quartz in the said hills.
The resulting gold rush hastened the village's development into a town, and reached its peak during the Japanese era. In The Island of Formosa, Past and Present (1903), American diplomat James W. Davidson wrote, Kyu-fun [Kau-hun] is as odd looking a settlement as one could find. [...] never before has the writer seen so many houses in such a small space. Some appear to be partially telescoped in adjoining buildings, other standing above as though unable to force their way to the group, and each structure seems to be making a silent appeal to its neighbor to move over. Water ran in many small streams, directed so as to provide each building with a little rivulet, passing sometimes by the doorway or even over the floor of the building. The claim was owned by the Fujita Company, the first Japanese company to mine quartz in Taiwan and which occasionally made an income of a few thousand yen per month from the Kau-hun gold operations.
Many present features of Jiufen reflect the era under Japanese colonization, with many Japanese inns surviving to this day. During World War II, a POW camp named Kinkaseki was set up in the village, holding Allied soldiers captured in Singapore (including many British) who worked in the nearby gold mines. Gold mining activities declined after World War II, and the mine was shut off in 1971. Jiufen quickly went into decline, and for a while the town was mostly forgotten.
In 1989, Hou Hsiao-hsien's A City of Sadness, the first film to touch on the February 28 Incident, then a taboo subject in Taiwan, became a big hit in the theatres. As a result, Jiufen, where the film was set, revived due to the film's popularity. The nostalgic scenery of Jiufen as seen in the film, as well as appearances in other media, charmed many people into visiting Jiufen. For the beginning of the 1990s, Jiufen experienced a tourist boom that has shaped the town as a tourist attraction. Soon retro-Chinese style cafés, tea houses, and souvenir stores bearing the name City of Sadness were built.
Jiufen also became popular in 2001 due to its resemblance to the downtown in the anime movie Spirited Away. Jiufen soon attracted Japanese tourists. Many Japanese travel magazines and guide books about Taiwan introduced Jiufen. It became a must visit place among Japanese tourists. However, Miyazaki himself denied that Jiufen was the model city of the movie.
At present, Jiufen is a renowned tourist attraction representative of Taiwan. It draws many tourists from Taipei during the weekends.

Taste Taiwan -The historical Jiufen Old Street
In the year of 2014, three chefs from North America visited the beautiful island of Taiwan to discover the country’s exquisite culinary highlights. Chef Anthony Jacquet of The Whisper Restaurant and Lounge in Los Angeles, Chef Jared Case of Park Grill in Chicago, and Chef Stuart Cameron of The Icon Legacy Hospitality in Toronto, explored Taiwan's best fine dining restaurants, fresh produce markets, night markets, and oyster farms.
The small town of Jiufen, located in northern Taiwan, is famous for its rich history, traditional tea houses, and countless local delicacies. During the three chefs' visit to Jiufen, they learned how to make Yuyuan (taro balls) with a local vendor.

Life in the Wonder City of Gold Jiufen
Just a few decades ago, Jiufen in northern Taiwan was a magnificent city rich in gold ore and bathed in glory. Jiufen's history is wrought with stories of gold-mining anecdotes; with gold strikes and a resulting gold rush that hastened the village's development into a town. Yet its luster began to fade with the decline of gold mining activities. During its peak, gold miners were liberal with their easily gained money, and the town was the symbol of luxury and extravagance, replicating the bustle and boom of Shanghai - hence the nickname, 'mini-Shanghai'. But with the depletion of gold in the mid-1960's, the population started to shrink, and the gold-mining business also faded into history. As a result, many wandering artists looking for creative ideas came to Jiufen to explore new artistic possibilities. They frequented the retro-Chinese style teahouses to enjoy a cup of warm tea and reflect upon the old days, and Jiufen, a long-forgotten mountain town, began to move forward in the river of time. After 1991, the town came alive, and it turned over a new leaf. Jiufen was the backdrop for Hou Hsiao-hsien film A City of Sadness, and since then the city has charmed many tourists into visiting the place. The film was quite a hit, and a lot of people wanted to come here to experience that nostalgic feeling. Consequently many foreign visitors, even locals in Taiwan, came here to visit. Unfortunately there were not many lodging services in Jiufen in the beginning. In response, scores of senior citizens decided to open up their homes to these young visitors. Various homeowners cleared up one of the rooms in the house to accommodate visitors. And now, a lot of the B&B's in Jiufen have begun to incorporate Jiufen's personality, carrying out careful renovations so that visitors can take in the mountain and ocean views from the city. Visitors are understandably fascinated with the natural scenery, and are happy to share these nuggets of beauty with people overseas, so that even more foreign tourists are attracted here to enjoy Taiwan.
