Jiufen,a town abounded with
gold in the early period, becoming a unique special town on the mountain
with the same dreamlike scene in the movie 'spirited away'. The Jiufen old
street is the most crowded street there with different kinds of shop opening on
the both sides selling local snacks, souvenirs.
However, the most impressive thing is not the shop but the lanterns. Especially when the dark comes, the whole street is lighted up by these lanterns with red light.
Climbing on the top of the mountain at night, the meandering light wakes up the sleeping mountain and sea, the incredible view are all under our eyes. Most visitors will not leave until night just for appreciating the amazing view of Jiufen.
