Jiufen Old Street | Artistic style after the rise and fall of prosperity

It is said that the place name "Jiufen" came from the inconvenient transportation in the Ruifang Mountain area. At first, there were only nine households in the village, so it was named Jiufen. The discovery of placer gold gradually attracted a large number of gold prospecting and mining people to Jiufen, starting the history of gold mining and coal mining in Jiufen. Later, gold mining officially ended in 1971, and the mining population exodus in large numbers, and the prosperous town of Jiufen also declined. It was not until the rise of national tourism in Taiwan in the 1970s, and the fact that many movies were filmed in Jiufen that Jiufen successfully transformed. The beautiful scenery of Jiufen Mountain City and the historical customs that have experienced the rise and fall of prosperity also attracted many artists to choose to settle here. Jiufen is a small mountain town. The town has developed into a popular tourist destination at home and abroad. Jiufen Old Street delicacies such as Aganyi taro balls and Alan Caozi Kueh are both must-try and super delicious; Jiufen Old Street attractions such as Amei Tea House (rumored to be the scene of the hidden girl) are also a must-visit. 🕰️Business hours: From about 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., if it’s too late, most shops will be closed and it will be very empty! #tourism #taiwan #jiufen old street
