Red Lantern Mountain Town: A Nostalgic Half-Day Journey Through Jiufen Old Street
by Biu’s Travel Diary
Jun 29, 2025
Ruifang District is one of the popular and convenient suburban day trip options for traveling to Taipei 🧳 ~ In addition to natural waterfalls/geoparks, there is a paradise for cat lovers, Monkey Cat Village, and the characteristic Jiufen Old Street! !
Since we are on the night flight back to Hong Kong - do not want the trip so chur - our day trip route did not play so many places only chose to go to Monkey Cat Village in the morning - to go to Jiufen Old Street in the afternoon to eat - and for convenience do not want to go back to the hotel to pick up luggage before going to the airport
The first stop is Monkey Cat Village🐱🐈⬛🐈
Although the weather was bad on the day we went there was still a little light rain! I was worried that the cats would hide all over, but when I went there, I saw so many cats just lying on the roadside! It really wasn't amazing at all xd~ Maybe because of the bad weather that the flow of people in the cat village was very small we almost dominated all the cats~xd
Before walking up to the cat village, there are some small shops where you can buy cat snacks ~ but if you miss it, some small shops actually sell cat strips! We have bought a little, thinking to take up to attract the cats to play ~ but found the cats may really too many people feed xd cat strips are completely can not attract everyone's attention xd Instead, in fact, you just walk around and play with them, they will not resist!

The second stop is Jiufen
I believe you will be familiar with Jiufen! A charming attraction 🩷 can be very characteristic narrow and meandering alleys in all kinds of snack stalls, fellow craft shops.
In addition to the food, the architecture of Jiufen is a highlight! Especially the red lanterns and antique stairs of A-mei Teahouse make the whole of Jiufen full of nostalgic atmosphere🥰
The landscape of Jiufen is equally astounding, from the hillside you can enjoy the magnificent sea and views of the Kashan area. I heard that especially at dusk is really romantic, we have to rush to the airport to see no! Next time I go again I would like to try to sleep overnight to see the dusk and night view!
📍Address: 224 Kishan Street, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
