EP10 Eating Taiwan: Jiufen Old Street, A-Mei Tea house & tea ceremony and Raohe Night Market
Loved our visit to Jiufen even thought it was a bit wet. Beautiful views and lots of traditional eats but it's definitely a tourist place. It was super crowded on the old street which is as expected from a tourist spot but worth a visit.
We took the bus from Taipei (with 1 change at the same stop) which was really easy and a fraction of the price of a tour. It took just over 1.5hrs and cost TW$116 = £3.
Raohe night market was my favourite night market in Taipei. It had a good mix of stalls and some great eats! It's also really easy to navigate as you walk up one side and back down the other.
Stand out item was the crispy fried seafood! You eat the shrimps and the crabs with the heads and the shells. It's super crispy and great seafood flavour.
Here are the details of the places we visited:
1. 九份老街 Jiufen Old Street
Jishan Street, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 224
2. 阿妹茶樓 A-MEI Tea House
224, Taiwan, New Taipei City, Ruifang District, 市下巷20號
3. 九份礦山豆花 Taro dumpling dessert

Since Jiufen is an hour drive east of the capital Taipei, you may want to make Jiufen a day trip with a possible stop at Keelung city.
In Jiufen I recommend you start with the Jiufen Old Street which is a market street with many food vendors selling delicious treats like stinky tofu, almond drinks, fish balls and peanut ice cream wraps.
These are my 5 Things to do in Jiufen:
1. Jiufen Old Street
2. Stinky Tofu
3. Almond Drink
4. Peanut Ice Cream Wrap
5. A-Mei Tea House #Ghibli
Make sure you visit Jiufen in good physical condition since the stairways can be very steep so do not forget a good pair of running shoes. It could also rain a lot so an umbrella is highly recommended.

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.

Final instalment to the Taipei series! This time we visit Jiufen and Shifen. For those who are looking up on how to get to these two places, a quick summary of my recommendation would be to get to RUIFANG STATION first, as that's the middle point to both Jiufen and Shifen.
From RUIFANG, head to Shifen first (as the bridge to the waterfall closes at about 4PM) and then spend the rest of the day at Jiufen. So your route should be :-
RUIFANG - SHIFEN STATION - SHIFEN WATERFALLS - SHIFEN STATION - RUIFANG - JIUFEN

Taipei Trip - Day 2 Taiwanese Breakfast, Jiufen, Shrimp Fishing & Shopping
What to do in Taipei - On Day 2 of our Taipei trip, we went to Jiufen, a mountain town in northeastern Taiwan, east of Taipei. This place is packed with street food shacks, souvenir shops and tea houses. We easily spent up to few hours there.
It is recommended that you wear comfy walking shoes as it is known for its narrow alleyways. Highly recommend this place and it is definitely one of the Must Go places in Taiwan.
After Jiufen, we stopped by the Shrimp Fishing place. Had our lunch there before we headed back for more shopping!
