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

Jiufen Photos and extra tips on my blog:
Nowadays, #Jiufen is a popular tourist attraction and quite legendary for its stunning scenery from the A-mei tea house.

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.

Old Street Jiu Fen, Taiwan.wmv
Tim, Larry and I visit Old Street in Jiu Fen, Taiwan. While there I stumble on the Condom Shop that features passport looking condom holders.
Jiu Fen Old Street, Taiwan
????Jiufen Old Street
????Jishan Street, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 224
✏Bustling district known for its narrow streets, food stalls & Sweeping Views of the mountains and sea. You can eat your favorite delight such as Glutinous rice cake, Taro Glutinous Rice Cake, Hingzao, Meatball, and cold and hot Taro balls, etc. But my taste buds dont like it ????????. There is also unique teahouses and if your not in hurry, you may want to stay for the starlight and fishing lights at night. ????
????HOW TO GO:
1. At Taipei station, buy railway ticket to Rui Fang. The journey is about 20 mins.
2. Upon reaching the station, look for the black sign that heads towards Jiu Fen. It is quite easy, just follow the crowd.
3. You will then be out of the station. Now look for the supermarket just across the road. Board the bus that goes to Jiu Fen.
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.

DIY Itinerary from Taipei to YEHLIU, JIUFEN, & SHIFEN, TAIWAN - Nognog in the City
Before we visited Taiwan, I made sure that we will be including Yehliu, Jiufen and Shifen in our itinerary. So, we allocated a whole day to travel to these destination.
It is not that hard to do a DIY trip in the said destination. Even though it is located in the Northern part of Taiwan, the transportation system in Taiwan made it easier to go to and from. So you would not need to rent a car or hire a tour guide to visit the place, especially if you are on a budget.
Check out the video to find out more about it.

Taiwan Travel Playlist:
Founded during the Qing Dynasty, this small town was a relatively isolated village until the discovery of gold during the Japanese occupation in 1893, quickly developing the town due to a gold rush. Many buildings in the town remain unchanged to this day, reflecting the Japanese influence on both architecture and culture on the island.
Another best place to visit in Taiwan, you need to ride a bus and may get lost if you do not know what you're doing.
The food and the street itself is great as well.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN VLOG: Jiufen
I couldn't have thought of a better way to end my short journey here in Taiwan, a trip to Jiufen.
Jiufen was a gold mining town, until its sudden decline when the mining was discontinued. Today, Jiufen has embraced its charm and has turned into a popular destination for those visiting Taipei. Even locals come up here once in a while to enjoy a blast to the past. One of my favorite movie, Spirited Away, was inspired by this very town.
I highly recommend coming to Jiufen!!
This is my last vlog in Taiwan. But as you all know, I'll be back soon ;)
For now, it's time to move onto the next chapter of my life. I can't wait to continue sharing it with you all~
