🌿✨ Jiufen, Taiwan – A Step Back in Time ✨🌿

Nestled in the mountains of northern Taiwan, Jiufen is a charming old town that feels like stepping into another world. With its narrow alleyways, red lanterns glowing at night, and teahouses overlooking the misty hills and Pacific Ocean, it’s no wonder this place is often compared to scenes from Spirited Away.

Walking through Jiufen Old Street, the air is filled with the aroma of local delicacies – from taro balls, peanut ice cream rolls, to herbal rice cakes. Each corner reveals a mix of culture and history, as the town was once a bustling gold mining hub during the Japanese era.

One of the best moments is sipping tea in a traditional teahouse while enjoying the breathtaking mountain and sea view, especially when the fog rolls in. Jiufen isn’t just about food and scenery; it’s a nostalgic experience that connects you to Taiwan’s past while letting you soak in its timeless beauty.

🌸 Must-try in Jiufen:
✔️ Taro ball dessert (芋圆)
✔️ Peanut ice cream roll with coriander 🌯
✔️ Handmade fish balls 🍲
✔️ A pot of tea with a view 🍵

If you’re visiting northern Taiwan, Jiufen is definitely a magical stop you shouldn’t miss! 🌄✨
