Stepping off the train at Ruifang Station, I immediately felt the charm of this laid-back yet bustling hub in New Taipei City. Known as the gateway to Jiufen, Shifen, and Houtong Cat Village, this area is more than just a transit stop—it’s a treasure trove of local eats, quaint streets, and hidden gems. I wandered through the Ruifang Old Street, sampling crispy scallion pancakes and sweet taro balls, before hopping on a train to nearby Shifen Waterfall. Whether you’re here for stunning nature, nostalgic alleyways, or a quick snack before your next adventure, Ruifang offers the perfect blend of convenience and discovery—definitely a stop worth exploring!
