The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Jiufen is the Amei Tea House.

Third #Taiwan trip in 2015 • Probably the most important reason to visit #Jiufen is #red lights and #Amei Tea House, which is the background of #SpiritedAway. • I entered the main red lights alley, #Shuchilu, but it wasn't that great because I had high expectations. Also, the view of #Amei Tea House from the crowded place was pretty, but I didn't want to stay for too long. • I said I would be willing to be a sucker if I could avoid this inconvenience, so I went inside the tea house, and I praised myself for making a good choice because the 'tea + snack set' price was more reasonable than I thought... • I listened to the staff's explanation, watched the demonstration, and followed along awkwardly, drinking warm tea. I also enjoyed a teapot that was 99% similar to traditional Korean tea, and I was able to drink hot tea by placing a teapot on the brazier next to the table... In the end, I was left with only tea leaves soaked in water. #worldtravel #overseastravel #Taipei #taipeitravel #taipei #台灣 #新北旅游 #九份 #九份老街 #九份美食 #阿妹茶樓 #阿妹茶酒館 #红灯 #Taipeitravelspot
