[Complete Edition] Tourist Spot Introduction

Today, we'll be introducing one of Taiwan's most iconic tourist spots:
📍Jiufen✨️

[What's it like?]
This town, located on a slope, thrived as a gold mine in the late 19th century and exudes a nostalgic atmosphere.🌳
It's said to have been the inspiration for the film "Spirited Away."
We recommend visiting the area at dusk, when the red lanterns are lit!

[Recommended Shops]
📍A Mei Tea House
This famous tea house, over 100 years old, is a symbol of Jiufen.
You can relax and enjoy a variety of Taiwanese teas while taking in the views of the Jiufen cityscape and the distant sea.🍵
The staff will teach you how to brew tea, so even beginners can enjoy it with ease.🔰We recommend the terrace seats on the third floor.✨️

📍Akan's Sweet Potato Balls
A Taiwanese sweets shop located at the top of a hill!
This is a restaurant where you can enjoy Jiufen's specialty, taro balls. 💡
These slightly sweet, chewy taro balls are made from kneaded sweet potatoes and taro. 🍡
They're so popular, they sell as many as 1,000 bowls a day on busy days!

[Notes]
There are many stairs and slopes, so wear comfortable walking shoes. 👟
It often rains, so don't forget to bring rain gear. ☂️
It gets colder at night than in the city, so a jacket is a good idea.
There are several stores that don't accept credit cards, so it's a good idea to bring some cash. 💵
