🏮 Jiufen – A Real-Life Spirited Away Experience! 🌧️✨

Nestled in the misty hills of northern Taiwan, Jiufen feels like stepping into a dream — or straight into a scene from Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away!

Wandering through the narrow alleys of Jiufen Old Street, with the scent of street food lingering in the air, I was instantly transported to another world. It's no wonder this enchanting village is said to have inspired the iconic bathhouse scenes in Spirited Away.

Despite the cloudy skies, the views were stunning — layers of lush green mountains rolling into the sea, with rooftops perched along the hills like something from a painting. Every corner had its charm: from quaint tea houses to quirky souvenir shops and the delicious aroma of taro balls and fish cakes.

✨ Highlight: Sipping tea at a traditional food store while looking out over the Pacific was pure serenity. It’s the kind of peaceful moment you’ll treasure long after your trip ends.

Whether you're a fan of animation or just love atmospheric places full of history and charm, Jiufen is a must-visit. It’s a magical escape from the city, perfect for slowing down and soaking in the culture.
